    Can I ask please - if you inadvertently go over your £100 monthly limit on CC, at what point does it tell you that you will not get the full amount of your last voucher credited to you ? I thought I had carefully limited my expected voucher but I am actually £4 or so over the limit - I've just claimed it expecting to be told I won't get it all but it looks like its all going to be credited.

    I wasn't going to do any more shops this month but as they have pinched £20 or so off me I wanted to use up all my existing vouchers before they took any more !

    Not until they lock your account and charge your bank account with the full ammount of an order ignoring the e voucher values and refusing to reffund it. From experiance! ;)

    I'm still up :(. Can't sleep at all now as both shoulders are hurting so much I just can't lie down. Went to see surgeon last week, he said any operation on left rotator cuff would be unsuccessful & further surgery on right wouldn't be successful either.:eek: I have arthritis everywhere.:( I went to see an endocrinologist about 2 weeks ago and although I've had 2x24hr urine tests BUT she didn't ask me to have the blood tests that she has suggested in her reports. Surgeon said it just MIGHT be all my hormones out of synch - bloody hell, I've been telling them all that for years!:mad: :( Have to go see my doc (4 wk wait for appt.) to see if she'll run them instead of me waiting 6m to go back to endocrinologist & then waiting, however long, to re-see her!

    He also told me after I'd had Xrays that I have cervical vertebrae out which may be why shoulders are so bad with referred pain and this is also probably why my hands are numb and I have pins and needles in them. I also have lumber vertebrae out. All he could suggest was physio (been there too many times with no relief) and extra strong painkillers ie. morphine. I don't want to go there after seeing hubby dosed up on these and sleeping all the time plus not being himself when he's on them.

    If I were a dog I'd be put down out of kindness. I'm zombified once more.

    I've been searching the web (as I do) and have found "cissus quadrangularis" which athletes use for sore/torn tendons, damaged muscles and bones. I wonder if any of you lot have tried it for arthritis? I've ordered some anyway as it seems it might work (72hrs solid of researching it) as I've gotten to the stage where I'll try anything now. Just wishing I'd done a next day delivery now, maybe I'll go to town & see if any of the health shops or the chinese herbalist there carries it. The herbalist -probably!

    I have to do a CC or HD soon to use up my vouchers but I just can't concentrate enough to do a 'proper' shop at the moment.

    I have noticed that some of the deli meats are still on silly prices on Waitrose. The Ox Tongue @15p/100gm is still on, there is some free range turkey slices at 17p for 100gm (instead of £2.79:D), Parma Ham 42p, Bresaola 42.9p (Spiced salted Beef -usually £4.29). Unfortunately a lot of the deli stuff our Asda doesn't carry but those in a different, maybe more affluent area could have some very good buys as no doubt there are other items available. Do 'any 2 for 1' OR just "2 for 1" offers in Waitrose work against Asda if all are the same price eg. Young's Gastro Fish??


    Oh dear you are in a bad way. Hope you find something that works for you. Hubby is riddled with arthritis after his gymnastics and circus days. He s on prednisolone and methotrexate which is a steroid. He went through a phase where he looked like he was dying before my eyes. Lost a lot of weight and he isn t very big anyway.

    Went to about 7 stone , his head looked like it was shrinking and he was all skin and bone. Even though he s still in pain all the time he s now gone back up to about 10 So is better in that respect. He could have a couple of my stones actually. :o

    OMG - Bring back the pre Beeching trains! I used to love going everywhere by train when I was younger. Unfortunately since Beeching closed down many routes the old train lines/routes have now mainly become roads.
    How short sighted was this?


    Yes I totally agree. Used to love going on the train when I was a child to Ellesmere about 12 miles away. Now we walk the path, hard to believe a steam train used to rumble along there :(
