    This appears to have been way beyond the line - buying items off eBay and elsewhere and returning to different stores at full price, buying fake MOCs off eBay ... jail term 2 and a half years:

    And she was a policewoman too (hopefully not one of the Elite or on MSE!).

    Worth a read for anyone tempted to go beyond the line ... (or anyone wanting to be reminded where some of the lines exist).

    This was a major issue when I worked loss prevention at TK MAXX, scary amounts of money to be made doing this. However I don't recommend it because you will get caught & when you do the civil recovery fine you get is a scary amount, I caught somebody stealing a baby play suit that cost £17.99 the recovery costs when to £118

    Afternoon.
    Bubbs glad you're op went well and that your DH is looking after you.

    Not had a chance to post much lately, seem to have been chasing my tail the past few weeks.
    We got our centres ready for the start of the Giro D'Italia and they look great. The Giro might have been what was shown this morning while BBC breakfast was off air.
    Loads of hospital appointments over the next few weeks to get through, been referred to a new team because of my anaemia as there's no obvious cause for it so more tests and scans :( sometimes I feel that I'm wasting their time because they never find anything new.

    DS has got his first proper appointment with the CAMHS team to go to as well so hoping that goes as well as it can but he's very resistant to going so not sure how well it'll go, hopefully better than his assessment one :o
    I think I'll need a holiday after these weeks!






    I was going to say the same, I was taking the recommended dose and was getting fed up with missing whole days due to sleeping so much so took myself off them as I'd missed most of January, all February and didn't want march to be the same. I stopped taking them and suffered from side effects when I done this, headaches, dizziness and nausea, so went to GP who told me to try ibuprofen and paracetamol. I had never been told I could try these instead and wish they had.
    I don't like taking meds either but know they're needed.
    Thanks, might take ibuprofen and paracetamol then as dont want to e addicted to them and do usually have a sleep about an hr after taking them.
    Hope they sort you out soon and start feeling a bit better x

    Bit bored here, so just done online sada shop for when I get home. Only for essentials not APG, do that in RL soon after whatever it may be.
    My shopping buddy didn't get me any beans in the 80p glitch :(
    Spoke to ds1 and gs3 on Skype that cheered me up a bit, then spend about 1 hr trying to splat a fly, he escaped though.
    Still lurking on here, catching up with everyone's news.
    DH watching jazz on tv and saw someone who's name he couldn't remember, I googled his CD that was mentioned and found it straight away..............Gregory Porter.
    I love the internet
    LL
    We are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars........................

    Afternoon. Hope bubbs and the poorly people are doing OK

    Fairclaire, how did you OH get on with his new treatment?

    Todays Doctor Story.
    Rang at 8am for telephone app, as can't just book to see a doc anymore.
    Should be queueing system, but took about 50 redials to get onto system.
    No telephone apps left with Dr who told me specifically to speak to him :mad:
    Receptionist Trout says any Dr will do and will get call back.
    Got call back, but this Dr says I need to speak to original Dr I asked for as he knows my case best :mad::mad::mad:
    Ring back Monday for a telephone app :( Ever thought you were going round in circles.

    Good afternoon :)

    Hi Sue. The treatment is still in early stages and it's hard work to be honest. Not getting a lot of sleep or time etc. at the moment. A lot of the time the treatments make things worse before they get better.

    Actually I can post this now no harm was done. I've been beside myself for the last 24 hours :( I did something so awful and stupid yesterday. OH came home from the place where he has his treatment with a headache. I went to get him some Paracetomol for it, gave him the tablets and when I went to lock the tablets away I realised I'd given him 40mg of Prozac by mistake :(:(:( On autopilot. He'd already had his dose of Prozac for the day. I was distraught after reading the leaflet which said to go go to A&E or contact a doctor immediately in the event if any overdose.
    He wouldn't entertain the idea of going to A&E so I had to ring the crisis team. They sent someone out to check him over and told me what to look out for overnight.......so no sleep for me :(
    I felt truly awful. Made worse by the fact that I fought so hard to stop him being admitted back to the MHU and they only relented on the proviso that I take charge of his meds and not let him have access to them for now. So what do I do?........give him a bloody overdose!!! :(

    Anyway, no harm was done and he's fine but What a horrible thing to happen. Bet you wished you hadn't asked now :o
