Swattie,

There is a way to shorten links, but unfortunately it's not working for me at the moment :wall: . Have a look at sra's guide here (please excuse the long link ):

Thanks for the advice.

The link in the post is a lot shorter than the original that i cut * pasted.
It must be self-truncating..........magic.

On a similar note, Lloyds pharmacies are selling Omron monitors (many G.P's use them in surgery) for £20 odd. Model is,iirc, MX2 which is the same as http://www.mypharmacy.co.uk/health_products/products/o/omron/blood_pressure_monitors/omron_mx3_plus.htm but without the memory facility.

Does anyone know if the Boots monitor is any good?

We bought the same monitor 4-5 years ago, and it is very good.. My father in law brought it with him to the hospital and it reported the same figures as the hospital equipment.

I believe that upper arm monitors are normally reckoned to be better than wrist monitors but chapter and verse can be found at The Blood Pressure Association. I have the Omron from Lloyds, £24.95 IIRC, half price. Find it quite easy to use, the readings are always higher at the surgery though, which is either White Coat Syndrome or the fact that I know I'm just about to rant about why the hospital hasn't rescheduled my operation yet!

The Boots one looks the same as one used at my Doctors surgery.

The good thing about buying from Boots is - any problems and they'll refund/exchange and if you've been collecting points it may even be ''free'' courtesy of 'pink toe separators', 'cucumber cleanser' and other points offers.

I've just ordered one, and with a certain promo code I got £11 on my Boots card, making it £19.. Not bad at all.
