Hectic day today. This morning took mum for her monthly blood test as per usual ready for her monthly injection this Friday. Then got phone call from her oncologist. He wanted to see us in the afternoon as they had the results for mums CT scan that she had just before Christmas. So blood test was at 12 and oncologist appointment at 3, so what to do inbetween. Ah good old T's for lunch lol. Tried to get 12 hipps with 12 vouchers as per usual but as there is a offer on for 5 hipps for £4 the till would only accept 4 vouchers. Got 20 up n go's though
So after T's off the the other hospital for Oncologist appointment. When we got there they said Oncologist had got called out so would be about 75 minutes late.
Oncologist told mum that her breast cancer and the secondary cancer of bone cancer was very well controlled and infact the results had improved over the past few month. So the treatment of the injection each month is doing its job.
However they suspect she has new primary cancer in her ovaries So want her to have an MRI scan asap to clarify. Should get that for next week.
Following that another blood test. Poor mum is knackered. She may sleep well tonight

Anyone have any idea when Sainsbury's usually discount their alcohol gift sets?

All still full price in my local store. All the other usual Christmas stuff is discounted but not these yet.

They probably already are if you are talking about the S/worth store as they seem behind in their SEL. I got the port and stilton today for £3.80, but it was still marked up at £6.

Evening paw sniffers:D

It's easier going to work:rotfl:

We decided on a family trip to Newcastle to pay our annual visit to the Apple Store A nice lunch out was planned.
The place was heaving:eek: It was totally impossible to have a nice lunch anywhere:o

It's years since I've been to the sales and I might never go again. I remembered why I hated it so much. This isn't Christmas for me:o I would have had more fun stood in the kitchen baking. There's too much noise and too much rubbish in the shops and to be fair nothing I needed or wanted.
The highlight was calling in at the little Waitrose:cool:;). Reductions were pathetic even if the 3 for 2 kicked in. There were plastic boxes of sprouts for 87p:eek: I wouldn't even pay that for full price sprouts.

But I bought Christmas cards and over the moon to find Christmas tree lights RTC at £3 down from £12 .......our lights have limped along for years and finally gave up. I thought it better to buy them now at a decent price:) I also have the beef joints on my picks so bought another and will half it before it goes in the freezer.

There were lots of biscuit reductions....unfortunately not the shortbread....and also Christmas cake mixes down to £5.50.:)

Thanks, tweets. :A

The lovely people on this forum, never fail to amaze me.

I am sitting here, feeling sad, as it is the anniversary of my Mum's death. Up pops tweets with a thought for me. :A Made me smile, thanks.

A few weeks ago, my son was diagnosed with three cancerous moles. :mad: A couple of :A:A on here, bubbs and queenie were there for me. Luckily he was fast tracked and his three moles were downgraded to one of 80% cancerous. He is now waiting to have them removed and treated but it looks quite positive. Fingers and everything else crossed.

Last week, my last remaining aunt was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer and due to her age, will not be with us much longer. :mad: The next morning when I logged on, Snap-ant posted about a pair of Birkenstocks that she knew that I was after, at an MSE price. :A The same morning, I had an absolutely lovely pm from Ladyshopper that really lifted me. :A

The friendship and support of people on here is amazing.
Thank you.

Think I just tried to add you to the Supermarket Elite group:rotfl:

You know the one that was started years ago when we thought the thread would be closed down. Oh dear:rotfl:

Chrissyv sent me an invite. I think I accepted it but now can't find it:rotfl::rotfl:

I looked this up.... could only find Elite Supermarket which appears to be dormant.:o

The website www.moneydashboard.com can be a good way of analysing your spending - you link in your bank accounts, credit card etc and it then produces graphs and othert analysis.

It is challenged somewhat by the number of transfers flying between accounts to meet account interest requirements , but other than that it can be interesting .

From memory, I signed up when it was on one of the cashback sites a while ago.
