Good Morning.

Really wish the sun would get his hat on!

I really don't like these grey days....

I looked back miss c and you are right bubbs post did say hobgoblin gold £8.

Seems like me not having a good memory worked in my favour today, I just remembered Hobgoblin and as these were RTC anyway, got one scanned.

I reckon if any stores have the Golden Hen kegs they will have been further reduced too. As I picked one of those up on first reduction couple weeks back. :cool:

I'm hoping to go and get some today! Is there a way of telling if Tesco has stock?

Good morning all, love and hugs to FC, northern geezer and Tornado plus anyone else coping with this awful disease. My mum had womb cancer last year, fortunately, this is one of the "nicer" cancers as it can often be removed "easily". Still a scary time though.

I remember when oh first showed symptoms of ulcerative colitis. I googled them and came up with a google diagnosis of bowel cancer I was trying to convince him to go to the docs but as it was a sensitive subject he was refusing to go, I shared my cancer worry with him thinking he would run off to the docs .....it made him more determined not to go as he said if it was the big C he would rather not know. I felt so guilty for scaring him but so mad that he would not go and get checked as my reasoning was the quicker you go the better your chances. He did eventually go and got his UC diagnosis but the fear alone of cancer put the fear of god into me.

Happy Birthday Nerfy and anyone else reading with a Birthday today :bdaycake:

You could try logging on to tesco groceries to see if it's available to click and collect but chances are it will show unavailable if it's being discontinued.

It's showing that for me not logged in when I googled the product. Oddly when I searched mini kegs the hobgoblin gold says £15. I did read mixed results on HUKD for finding that one for £8.

I tried 2 extra stores yesterday and hit lucky at one.

Good morning everyone

Dear fc thank you for sharing with us. I think of you often as I remember I was one of the first to welcome you to the thread. I faded away lurking far too much but you have been ever present up until recently obviously because of your diagnosis.

But I know you are strong enough to fight this. You've been through so much & I feel even though we've never met I have the utmost respect for everything you've had to deal with. Being brave choosing to speak about it publicly will certainly help you & anyone else with this awful cancer.

I am sure the support you receive from your Elite friends will help enormously. Thinking of you today. Sending lots of love & wishing you the very best xx

I will be interested to know what they say if you do ring.

Soton JL are giving double points if you have one of their charge cards. They have offers on a pure cashmere brand, some audio offers, lots of beauty offers & a jazz band playing. Don't think I'll bother but would if I had a charge card which I haven't. I'd suggest you ring the store & ask as yours is a home store.

people should talk more about cancer. I have it as one in three of us will do in the future. it needs to be talked about and addressed. it's not a nice subject but neither is people avoiding you because you have it.

I've posted on here because I dont want to answer PMs and it be hidden. I've got incurable blood cancer. I'm going to die from it unless AAU gets me in his double decker bus first :eek:

As I've said to a very good friend tonight. Problems are only big if they are affecting your life....whatever they may be. life is too short to please other people.

I'm struggling to keep up on here at the moment due to my own health, but am so glad I saw this. I'm really sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Put simply, its rubbish.

You are right that people are scared to talk about it. My very good friend has stage 4 soft tissue cancer, which is quite rare. She has mets in her lungs. She has chemo, but her disease isn't curable, so the treatment is palliative. She told her Dr she didn't want to know how long she had left, as she didn't want that to be her focal point. She is a year on from diagnosis and is still here and still symptomless, which is great, although she has confessed that she really didn't expect to still be around. However, she has still only told me and one other person that her condition isn't curable. She is coming to the conclusion that she is going to have to start telling people, just for the fact that her treatment remains ongoing, but she doesn't really want to be dealing with peoples reactions to it, which is why she has kept it quiet.

I think attitude can make an awful lot of difference, and if anyone has that its you! I wish you well with your treatment, and hope that things can remain as "normal" as possible for as long as possible. You have been in my thoughts and will continue to be so.
