    Well what a day, black friday, just didnt happen here, struggled to get dressed today, the headache was awful.
    Managed to complete the 16 boxes on Groupon though, and with 3 back ups.
    And didnt get held up in any queues :-)
    I did fall foul of the buying mania on Amazon (to my shame) Im sure at some point as a granny of 4, all of whom sleep in beds now, can you see im havering now, trying not to admit that I got a really good deal on a .........................................................travel cot!!!!!!!!
    The Insurance from the other side came through well today, they are going to repair my car in a garage im happier with, hire car to the same or better spec than mine (put off till next week till I can actually drive) and a nice payment into my account as an interm payment for pain and suffering.
    Edit, Tablet making is a must here, I used to make a living when the kids were small by making tablet and fudge and selling it through local shops.

    Well you can't say that without posting your recipe!
    Hope you feel better soon :)

    Gocat,
    When I checked the S website, it does not show the badoit rouge, even with my postcode entered, so I called my local S and asked if they stocked it and if so did they have any. Was told they had 10 bottles, so went and got 6 this morning. Shame they were 2 bottles short for DH's account....will try again in a few days
    Have you called your local stores?
    Sorry meant to say, I am in Kent

    Hmm so the websites are unreliable in telling us what stock they have :mad:
    Thanks, will give my local one a call in the morning :)

    Oh what are the options likely to be for your ankles? At least they know what's going on and hopefully can offer you the best treatment.

    Never got to see any hands and knees action, I had to go to lunch :p We are old fashioned mop and bucket people when it comes to floor cleaning, at my insistence. Bucket of bleachy water and a gold old string mop ;)

    I prefer to clean floors on hands and knees as laminate doesn't like to get too wet and oak doesn't like water at all.

    I am friendless where the autumn T goes. Missed it originally due to RL.

    Only one option for ankles. Apparently they can make the tendon longer by cutting behind my knee and doing some strange zigzag cutting and sewing then injections in ankles. If they do it they want to do both at once so will have to invest in a wheeled stool or chair to move round house. I was surprised it all showed up on ultrasound as I am use to pain anyway and due to nature of my conditions I am also used to there being nothing they can actually see.
    Obviously I can't have it done while doing frequent driving so might have to suffer a bit longer.
    I was surprised when Dr said today it has nothing to do with my RA.

    Ideal home last week was such a joy using a wheelchair and I have been looking longingly at mobility scooters so needs doing so I can get a bit of mobility back.

    Getting stressed about having to spend 5 days in Bedford as I hate staying in other people's houses. Hoping to set cameras up at dad's house while I am there and lots planned to do with dgd all of which needs very little walking.
    Going to see dgs too just will have to see ex mil (she is lovely really).

    Will have lots of time to do the advent comps too:)

    I have a £7 off £50 and £6 off £40 to use up. Will they work with gift cards?
    There is a certain checkout girl on tomorrow I can use.
    Also have to visit JB to collect dd Xmas handbag.

    . I do think a chaise lounge is a good description of you though. Stylish yet comfortable and laid back :)

    May the odds be ever in your favour;)

    I think with the high death rate in that job, they'd tolerate the risks of oversalted Scottish delicacies.
