    Are you sure your station is listed? Seem strange that it would be but none of the local rags have the coupon....... if push comes to shove i'm sure I can stick some coupons in an envelope ;)

    I'm taking part in this one, thanks dave ;)

    I've invited myself and going to spend the weekend at TM's :D:D making sure her B&B service is up to scratch and that she offers eggs four ways ;):D

    I'll let you know my arrival date..............

    Hi that would be very kind of you if you could please. Our station isn t included but Chester is. :D and of course if there s a way of paying for the stamp I will .

    walked a long way down main road to Mercadona supermarket and found mosquito repellant :D
    and Alivio Picaduras roll on bite lotion :A blissfully not itching now.
    my legs are like tree trunks they are so swollen from bites :o
    the mosquito repellent bracelets i have been wearing on both ankles and Avon skin so soft, haven't been any help :(

    Going swimming now whilst sun high in sky :T we walk 10 yards into the sloping pool from room :T

    Snap...if the bites don't go down quickly...then you could try a daily antihistamine hay fever tablet...they really do stop the itch and reduce swelling quickly.

    sympathy to you...there's nothing worse than an itching mossie bite especially when your legs are covered in them....I suffer really badly too!

    Speculative again - is this really available in A and on 3 for £5 mix and match? If it is, then one of these and two of one that appears online and £2.38 x2 vs £1.00 x2 M (needs prices to be updated). This is also £1 in M (msm not updated) - I so wish that it would compare!

    [Strike]The above now gets onto Tvs M:wall:.[/Strike]

    EDIT: In fact I am not even going to put it onto Tvs M, or even onto the list at all (as I wouldn't buy it in M:rotfl:) as the SEL in M says 8x34.8g, which I make to be 278.4g. However, I note that t.com says 278g. Therefore, I am deciding that the two items are non-comparable as they are obviously completely different products (just going from instore M and online T) and, if I was T, I would therefore get you to pay me £2.45 for one pack!

    0.4g - you could hardly feel it:rotfl:! However, to me, the most minute detail has the highest significance of all, is vastly important and makes them totally different things - I fail to see the context or big picture.
