    eyes much better, drops working well

    Mostly its now still the raw throat, ears and headache now and the hacking cough keeping me up at night.

    I am dosing myself up with vitamin c and zinc tabs, vitamin d, bog standard hay fever tablets and the usual paracetamol and cough sweets

    Also someone said 1/2 tsp of turmeric plus a pinch of ginger in the morning fruit smoothie will help build the immune system back up. I am going to experiment with this :)

    Oh good, at least the eyes won't be glued these days, not a very good look. I started my new drops yesterday, I can do them myself :D. It's the ruddy tiny tube of cream the doc has prescribed to be applied at night :eek: you mustn't get it on eye lashes :eek: why not, it's the eye lashed that are glued for heavens sake. Anyway DH is doing the cream for me, once it's in the vision is blurred, couldn't see straight for over an hour :eek: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Yes, I should have been going to bed to sleep but wanted to watch paranormal stuff on tv, I ended up listening to it :o :rotfl:
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    [FONT=&quot]Buy any of the packs below showing the offer and you “should” get a cut out coupon to cut out on pack, AND a code for advance bookings inside pack, printed on the inside of the box. I have only tried crunchy nut and coco pops, so not certain of others.[/FONT]

    Walkers winning 6 packs

    Cash prizes are in the packets of crisps, not won any and eaten 20+ bags. [IMG]file:///C:/Users/Ian/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image001.gif[/IMG]

    Free 6 pack is entered online at
    https://paypacket.walkers.co.uk/
    winners you print off a MOC with the usual individual barcodes also on it.

    5 entries allowed per day (per email account [IMG]file:///C:/Users/Ian/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image002.gif[/IMG])

    one in 3 chance of winning, my personal experience is about 1 in 2 .

    Now...... Codes for entry...... They are on the back of the pack, look at the barcode, then the other white box above with the Best Before date, also printed there is the code for entry. YUP on the outside ... [IMG]file:///C:/Users/Ian/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image003.gif[/IMG]....

    Redemption has been difficult initially, was at the start and no one seemed aware even though I pointed out it was on the bags I was redeeming. I think it should now be easier as more are passed to Checkout Ops.

    Buy the crisps first in a non compare shop, so no need for minimum 10 items. place the bags FIRST in your shop, so when op checks for price it is easy and first in list, they will see the £1.65 hopefully and take off 3 x £1.65 = £4.95 deduction on £3 spend = paid £1.95 towards other non compare items [IMG]file:///C:/Users/Ian/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image004.gif[/IMG][IMG]file:///C:/Users/Ian/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image004.gif[/IMG]

    Hope this is enough info, get back to me by PM if it doesn't, as I don't read back on the thread too much

    Amazing weather thanks. I said before I went, I would be happy if I got one beer outside in the sun. Well I got burnt to bits the first day, and every day it just got hotter and hotter with one wet sea day. Loved having the sun for a while.
