    I did exactly the same with the milk last night as I forgot the 3 for £3 in M requirement (milk in the other shops too for T which was fine as £1v£1) :o. Sometimes we get giddy with the glitch, must keep our wits about us :cool:.

    Bubbs I'm glad your op went well.

    I had mine in London 4 weeks ago. Stayed in 9 days then was finally discharged just before the Easter weekend. I thought I'd be on this thread loads, finally able to join in properly.

    Instead I'm zonked in bed, sleep all afternoon, standing and sitting hurts, and I don't have the energy to do anything! Not quite as I imagined!
