Hi peeps




Went for lunch yesterday with friend and her DD then went shopping with them both. Friends DD went into BS and paid full price for a few items, I was shocked at what she paid, friend said she buys a LOT of BS toiletries every month!! So will have to be on the look out for BS glitches for her.


Then friend bought items from [EMAIL="H@M"]H&M[/EMAIL]... I couldn't believe that she buys from there also at full price. I told her at the moment I could get £5 off each item that she had just bought...she said 'it doesn't matter, I don't mind buying at full price' (...OMG what is wrong with some people!!!)
Friends DD didn't even have a BS card!!


Spooky .. I went out for lunch yesterday too - (something I do very rarely unless on holibobs!) I paid with vouchers and impressed my SiL who then proceeded to pay £85 for a pair of sandals, just for everyday wear!!

She need some milk, so on the way home we called into Lidl - she admitted that she liked the shop, not because it was cheap or good value, but because you can buy 'continental' things there.

Glad your op went ok Bubbs ( why didn t you have a capital b for your name lol everytime I do it I get a capital b) on my iPad.

Fairclaire hope you are ok. I M in a similar place as I look after all my hubbies meds and my own and it can get confusing. I also get a bit panicky with it all and not just the meds. Considering he was a trapeze artist years ago with all the precision that entailed he s totally the opposite now , very clumsy and accident prone.

I only have to hear a bang and I wonder what the hell he s done now lol. His latest trick was last Thursday evening after arriving home from Centerparcs . Instead of waving Dawn etc off or maybe carrying his Wellies in he dashes off out to see our dog Button completely forgetting the small fence outside the patio doors to the side to stop,Button messing the windows up and goes flying over it.

All I hear is Sue come out here before I bleed to death :eek: slight exaggeration luckily. He d cut both his hands and one was bleeding quite badly. I hadn t even had chance to close the front door.

Give me strength. He is older than me though

:hello:I've made an attempt to lurk and to catch up, but you lot have me logging in again on seeing the current last page!!:rotfl:

Ooh, I've been like quivering like jelly this afternoon. I've calmed down just a bit by now, but that exam assessment I had this morning (what assessment?:D - I know: I always let cats out of bags in a manner that makes it impossible for me to backpedal later:rotfl:) - I was fine all up in the run-up to it but now, afterwards, I'm more nervy. I think I'd just better try to put it out of my mind and move on for the weekend - results due next week. I'm sure that if I haven't done that well, others in the past have done more disastrously than me at it. I shall mention no more, sorry: that's as much of my private life as you'll get:rotfl:. I think it's there so that I don't think I've succeeded and then get the greater disappointment next week. Instead, it's meant to downplay my feeling about it so that I'll forget aboit and continue as I was before and then, when I do succeed, it comes as a nice pleasant surprise. Let's hope so. Fingers crossed. And nowt lost if it ends in 'disaster':D, just the icing on a cake and why do I put myself through extra things that aren't strictly necessary and then feel worse afterwards, lol!:rotfl::rotfl:

Anyway - do you have any glitches for me on items that haven't been glitching before? No cereals please as my house is already packed to the rafters and can't take anymore:eek: (not literally) but - there's only so much Honey Nut Shredded Wheat that I can have, in theory even if only 54p for three boxes with a free salad cream chucked in. I could do it again and again but just nowhere for any stockpile - unless someone wants to set up a warehouse business with me storing and shipping out shredded wheats:rotfl::rotfl:. I've just too much of certain things, and it's why I'm reluctant to even add another S/P tin of something onto a shop and exceed the 8 items required as I already have well enough of the same products in tins. Even though it would knock £5 more off the bill!!

It's part of the reason why I missed 8 items last time:(:(. I'm really trying to limit it, as there's nothing more I can get without overbuying what I already have enough, or even too much, of - the house has limited room (not that that communicates anything:D, as every house and every space is finite even if it is currently empty) and I'd just not end up being a hoarder - just got to avoid that happening as well as ensuring I get well enough items each time. It's a balancing act - I've cleared out some space but, unless I want to start living with tins and bottles and cereal boxes all around me...:rotfl: Perhaps I should retire on my money-savings and get a mansion or something:rotfl:, with 58 rooms to be then available for storage. Then I could have twenty packs of shredded wheat:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:. Till then, from this city semi...

It's a point though - these glitches lead to some odd things, such as I was thinking of doing a Morries comp. shop (used up my last Fruit & Nut Mix, only vs M for hopeful 10%) but how can I justify getting a 'small' pack of Fruit & Nut Mix (200g) costing me nearly 50p:eek: when three full boxes of 500g cereal are going for not much more? Maybe I should buy a 20p tin on my shopping next time, in order to get nearly £5 APG back, thus costing me net minus £4.80, even if I then proceeded to put the tin straight into the rubbish bin on the way out of the store. It would pay that way (getting the eight) even if I bought the stuff (at 18p in the end, 20-2p APG) and pay that bit extra for nowt in order to have much much more back as a result.

We'll it's the weekend and DS1 is home so I feel much better!

Enjoy your time with DS1 and no recriminations about meds please. some of us aren't so lucky to have someone like you :T around to help
It's so easy to make mistakes when you have loads to take/give out. I take over 40 per day and it's so easy to mix them up. Often find I've missed one and taken too many of another, however careful I am
I wish all the manufacturers would stick to the same shape and colours.

Not sure if it's been posted but I know there was some discussion re using 3v cards for Blinkbox e-books cc points offer recently. I have just used a 3v card to buy e-books from the site so looks like you can use them for this purpose after all. x

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

Ah bless ta hun, mistakes do happen. Please don't beat yourself up.

Hiya.
A few pics for you all.
These were taken from the top of Bird Island where we went yesterday




Some of the Laughing Gulls we were feeding. The flying one may be a bit fuzzy as they fly so fast.




Last night's sunset. Lots of cloud around, so much darker than previous ones


Mum and her partner go back to UK tomorrow, so busy packing and clearing up. No beach for me today, got a bit singed yesterday:o
