    In my case I think it was the pain that was making me fatigued, if that makes sense, it was just constantly wearing me down.
    So in answer to your question no it doesn't anymore and not so much tiredness either.

    I have received what I thought was just a flyer from Mr T, but it contains a code to use by 27/2/17 for £2.50 towards partner sites, so possible £10 against Pizza Express etc.

    Been to my local SD, the travel sizes have moved to another aisle and there is no space now for Dove :(:(

    Got 3 lunches from Mr Shoes using 2 phones and a tablet for £1 each. SA was new so another explained about the O2 deal. Said to check that the background was moving and the countdown was moving too, as some people have been using screenshots :eek::eek:
    Interestingly they did not need to input the serial number.

    Also went to Home Bargains, on the top shelf of reduced Xmas stuff was a cardboard house for 99p, inside are 4 bottles of jelly beans, don't seem to be original beans, but palatable and for the size good value.

  • OH, O2 Priority also has a free hot drink at CAFFE NERD tomorrow from 11am.

    Also noticed that there is a Pizza Express deal £5 pizza for dinner with free dough balls.

    Says you cannot use in conjunction with other promotions, but maybe a phone call to the one you use (noting who you spoke to) to see if O2 £5 deal can be paid for with Tosco CC, therefore if you get the free £2.50 from T and use 2 O2 apps, a slim chance of a free pizza and doughballs for you AND your partner.

    Oh Perky....you've just asked the very same thing I came back to ask Emerald about....

    Emerald....In two words you have opened up a whole new line of questions...how fabulous is that for a career...is that how you met your OH and were you involved in the act at all..??

    oh my the questions could now be endless....but please share any snippets that might be appropriate....

    Well underperky and LEJC I am rather proud of him and he could write a book about all his experiences. Of course I was a trapeze artist too Susie and the flying mercurys lol.... ( no I wasn t ).

    I first met him when I was 16 . Can t remember exactly what happened but he was noticed when he was doing the duke of Edinburgh gold award and some circus scout noticed him and asked him to joint the circus.

    Where do I start. He travelled the world for years and followed the sun . He was with Fossetts circus and Ringling brothers in America. He was earning loads of money at the time but he was one of these who spent it all too lol, so when we did get together years later it had all gone :(

    Like I said his main occupation there was as a trapeze artist , he was one of the ones who threw themselves across from one place to another and a bigger stronger guy was the catcher. Imagine the pull on his arms etc, that's why he s riddled with arthritis now. You do t realise at the time though do you ?

    He s wing walked on planes,
    Dived into a small pool of water from a great height set on fire ( the nutter )
    Walked a tightrope from one sky scraper to another in America.
    Walked from England to Wales on his hands for charity.
    Been a clown ... he s good at that :)

    Been in adverts on the tv,
    Was Patrick McGoohans stunt man when he was filming that series in Portmeirion.
    Was a gymnastic champion eg pommel horse and those things you grasp on and swing round and round etc.
    Trampoline.
    Good swimmer and diver and swam the channel a couple of times.
    Met loads of stars over the years, Anthony Valentine, Ken Dodd, Norman Wisdom, been to parties at their houses. Too numerous to mention them all. Don't think there are many he hasn t met to be honest.
    Big pals with Wayne Sleep from when he was being accosted for being gay . Wayne Sleep not hubby. He stepped in and got rid of them.

    This all came to an end when one time he was trapezing and slipped and crashed into the king pole instead of the net, knocked himself out flown back from America and woke up in Gobowen Hospital having to learn to walk again :( which he did.

    If there s anything else I remember I ll put it down lol.

    I met up with him some years after and we carried on where we left off and he took my two lads on and 7 years later we had Dawn and she is his greatest achievement he reckons :)
