  • Afternoon all.
    Just a quick heads up for those of you who want/need USB flash drives for photos or for making a recovery disc before/after upgrading to Windows 10.

    Tesco have some Sandisc flash drives at vastly reduced prices. The annoying thing is I just placed an Amazon order & forget the flash drives for the recovery discs.

    All sandisc cruzer force/edge + others - all seem compatible with W10
    8GB @ £4, 32GB @ £8, 64GB @£11. there were also 4, 16 & 128GB but didn't note these prices. Most are a little cheaper than Amazon & will also count as 1 of your 10 items.

    Ours don't have the BNI now but I've noticed on MyS that the 'normal' price for the currys has reduced from £3 to £2.40 so whatever A's has them at it's not going to be such a big bargain anymore - I'm no longer going to buy them with those awful garlic pizzas (yep I've tried everything from sundried tomatoes, mushrooms, pestos etc) if they should ever be a reasonable price again.

    I meant to go in Farm-foods for some scallops & forgot again. DUH! I've been fancying some pasta with scallops for a couple of weeks now & farm-foods usually has them frozen at very reasonable prices.

    I've missed birthdays, sad occasions, illnesses etc. so congrats to all that are celebrating & hugs to everyone else.
  • Good afternoon all. Had a bit of a shock in the 99p shop today. Hope they don't have inside knowledge - they actually had toboggans :eek: :eek:

    I haven't forgotten :D

    AJ :wave: Have you been for your drive yet? ;)

    I've been and have been diagnosed with bronchitis. :o

    Been given a steroid inhaler now, pharmacist told me the type I have been given is new on the market and very effective, can't remember the word he used but got the impression not cheap or prescribed often. :eek:

    Fingers crossed this knocks it on the head, Dodo came round earlier and I got out of puff just chatting to her. :rotfl:

    She went off with some loo rolls and suncream. :D She has been slacking. :whistle:

    I had no idea what twins were until I started school and there were some in my class. They were Deborah and Paul though, so no problems in telling them apart :D

    A lot easier when bro and sis twins :D

    Are yours identical girls Sarah ? :)

    Is anyone else with iPhones having problems accessing some wifi networks since the iOS recent update? I have stopped bothering in A as I never seem to be able to access their wifi and am now struggling at home too (or holiday home) :mad:. Other gadgets connect no problem - mine show full bars but pages/apps just hang or it keeps prompting for the password then won't accept it. Most frustrating :(.
