Finally managed to get out today and try the u+g vouchers but there must be other voucher users locally as shelves had been emptied
. Moved onto my local Asda and they had plenty left, got 5 and used voucher for each one but instead of till taking off £1.38 for offer it took off £2.90?
yep that's what happened to me too

Thats right for the up&go as they are on offer, five for £4, so thats the different £2.90I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.

ILTS thanks for mentioning me this morning but I'm not exactly poorly just got bad flare up of my osteoarthritis in my hands.
Which is why I am bit quiet at the moment....
Been a bad day today, slight relief at the moment but waiting for 4 hours to pass to take some more paracetamol. If this doesn't start to calm down think I am going to have to go to GP for something stronger which I don't like doing.
I feel your pain Tiny, literally- as I suffer very badly with my hands and feet.
Have you tried Naproxen (which is Marketed as Feminax ultra) yet ?
I have lots of other health issues but can take these anti inflamatories and if I need can still have a couple of paracetamol along with them
My doctor has prescribed them for me and hubby x x0 -
