  • Better to be too hot than too cold, you can open a window for too hot, I think they would get upset if it was too cold and you started a wee campfire.

    Nothing really, just the same, lazering it again. Its a wart like thing, that will keep growing as they cant get at the route because of where it is. Doc said as its a virus your body has got to try and kick it out, it could be years. :(



    Yes, looks like it is going to be ongoing, never mind, one of those things we are going to have to get used to I suppose.

    Sorry to hear this Sarah:o

    Let's hope 2017 is the year it gets sorted. Bet he's fed up:o

    Afternoon luvlies

    Re the swipe and win Nectar points at BP I posted about last night, their unleaded is 4p a litre more than Sainsbobs so didn't buy that. I ended up buying the Feb issue of Glamour mag for £1, didn't win any points though. All the branded confectionary and snacks seem to be a lot more than we're used to paying so can't see the point of buying them.

    However, I did notice they sold 4 packs of Carling in the fridge cabinet and BP is a named retailer on Carling Tap so I shall be redeeming my They Score You Score vouchers there instead of supermarkets. I have 7 vouchers expiring 31/07.

    It appears that my closest BP isn't doing it anyway....a small independently owned station......I popped in and the offers were really poor. I think a BP owned site may carry some national offers which might look a bit better.
    Unleaded was 6ppl more expensive than A
