Evening all. I have managed to keep up so far, so lets see if I can do a whole threadspringdreams wrote: »Hello,

I have one of these for my store loyalty cards:

That's what I use too, plus another one with gift cards in. I highly recommend themcalmspirit wrote: »Bubbs u quit smoking????:T:T:T:T:T
I started again after many years!:o
Oh no calmspirit :eek: :eek: Well done bubbs though :TNot been sleeping well as have a bloomin wheeze. No sign of a cold or anything and it's worse when I lay down. It's very annoying but doesn't seem to be going so will have to get myself checked out next week if it doesn't disappear.
I don't smoke so not sure what to blame it on. DD's BF was poorly with a flu like things when we went up for Teeny's birthday and it started after that but I didn't have any of the symptoms he had. Really odd.
As an asthma sufferer, bit of advice I can give is to lie on your left side. Sounds simple, but was explained to me that when you lie on your right side, your heart presses onto right lung and compresses it, so makes breathing harder. Works for me, when my chest is bad

I had to go to a meeting at DS2 school today. Apparently he has been being quite badly bullied/picked on by one particular lad who is in most of his classes
he has never said a single word to me or anyone else about it :(but he was given a sheet to fill in for a statement review and felt the need to write it on there in great detail :eek: a just shows the communication difficulties
The saddest thing I've ever heard (once we convinced him to talk about it) was him saying. 'I know he's going to hit me, he just hasn't had a chance yet'He has been frightened of this lad for a long time and hasn't said a word. obviously I feel awful
but was at school first thing fighting his corner. Seems this lad himself has some problems (I don't know what) but it's still not acceptable. I didn't go in all guns blazing.....that's not always appropriate. But I did make it clear I wanted it sorting out. What a crap situation
I do feel for school staff who have to deal with kids with behavioural problems who will cause problems wherever they are. But my DS2 is absolutely thriving at school and I want nothing spoiling it for himit's been bothering me all day
you do have to look after your own sometimes

3dogs :hello: it's good to see you. :A
Thanks for the advice, that is the side I have been settling on. On my back is no good at all. Feels like I am breathing through bubbles. Even when no fizz has been drunk.
I'm off now too..... hope the rescue goes ok in the morning. xx0 -
Oh, just before I really go, I got taken in on something and was wrong. I said I'd moved to Sains. Energy and therefore would be giving something to Sains. soon anyway. Sains. Energy is in fact a trading name for BG.
As to the link on the right, about "Beat gas cuts further", which links to the weekly MSE email, I've no idea why anyone would be on BG (as BG) or Scottish Power at the current time anyway. They're still overpaying by more than £200+ at the moment if, after the cut in a month's time (after the heavy use is over), they're still overpaying by that amount. So why would you be there in the first place? And, if they are, then setting up a switch is still going to leave them paying over the odds in the period before the switch is completed. One thing that struck me, in the discussion over mobile phone companies in the last day, is that this country is one of relatively high loyalty. Which means that providers can simply increase charges for those that remain stuck with them loyally. Loyalty isn't rewarded - it's expensive!
Even in Which? surveys as to which energy companies are the best CS (http://switch.which.co.uk/energy-suppliers/energy-companies-rated.html), the sample sizes for some of the various suppliers are about 100, some of the bigger companies have about 900 or 1,000 but what struck me was that the sample size for BG (trading as BG) was 2,345 - just shows, it seems, how many people have never switched and have remained loyal and just overpaying and overpaying in my view. The whole systems are based on the assumption that people generally do not switch, and, whether it's with bank accounts or with electricity/gas, that's a largely true assumption. Most people do not (in fact, probably more than merely "most", instead more like the vast majority i.e. I'd say over 90%, with no knowledge as to the actual figure at all!). A quite tiny minority, in comparison, do. You have to switch to get the best deal. And only people that are as disloyal as possible and do the complete opposite of what the companies want and what they advertise are the ones that save money in my view! Any letter, advert or communication from or by a company or any organisation is done in the company's own interests and not yours. So, ignore them totally and make it in your interests instead.
Goodbye now:):).0 -
