    I changed mine to a gift voucher to give me more time to find something. Might buy a diamond nose stud , obviously need to put money towards it lol

    I thought I remembered you saying this a little while ago- so today armed with mine and my DH gift cards we went in the shop and asked for gift vouchers- one young girl said she wasn't sure how to process it, her supervisor wouldn't allow it and said we had to buy- we only had a few minutes so bought a 'wheels on the bus' mug in a christening presentation box reduced to £7.49 so pleased with that,,but I now have £2.51 left on my gift card which I certainly wont use especially in 2 days..
  • Hi aau1 and ILTS glad you both got some.Sorry I missed the 12-0clock deadline I wanted to do more.Can't try for tomorrow,am going away early morning for a couple of days.Hope it works for them that do.Love to all.

    Hi ILTS:wave:
    Thanks for confirming:D



    Evening all, thanks to op for pop glitch.


    bubbs, as I've been trying to catch up, I read that you have a poorly shoulder? and think it was today I read that you have or might have a tear in a muscle?
    I've also had a poorly shoulder too, for about 10 weeks now. But it has affected my elbow, wrist, hand and all the muscles ache in my arm too. On Tuesday I eventually went to the dr's who first said she thought I might have a tear in a muscle and ordered a scan.
    But I then asked if there was anything herbal they could recommend for hot flushes, ive been so,well can't explain how I've been with them. I then was told I needed a blood test for my thyroid. Thought it was a bit strange to go for 1 thing and come out with something completely different.
    After doing the wrong thing I googled symptoms of thyroid in women, well I have all but one of the symptoms and that's only because I had hysterectomy some years ago.
    Pain in joints and muscles, fever, hot sweats. It also said people who have had a viral infection could suffer with thyroid problems, last year I had shingles!!


    Sorry to ramble on,
    but when she said I may have a tear in muscle, I cant recall doing anything to it, I'm not sure if you know if you have done anything that you know about.
