    If anyone has not used their Marks sparks £5 off wys £25 offer, this weekend its the grill menu - wine, main and 2 sides - it does not feel as good a deal with having 2 sides

    This offer does not work with sparks card as the wine is included in the deal and 5 off 25 is food and flowers. Kind sa checked it for me this morning
  • I started my chemo in the August and as I have a fondness for sunshine I was quite tanned, boy did I look a !!!!!! when my hair fell out. :rotfl: I can laugh now but I was horrified at the time :o
    I'm glad your chemo has come to an end it takes it out of you, quite literally. What happens next?

    Lol I can imagine diluvdiscounts :)
    I'm as white as a ghost :eek:

    I have one more chemotherapy round left - my sixth and hopefully final one, is tomorrow. Then it's an agonising wait until I have CT and Bone scans to see how my mets are and what the chemotherapy has done.
    I'm soooo tired!

    Morning all. Hope everyone is doing Ok. Had a good talk with myself and will be off to the shops shortly - needs must as cupboards looking bare.

    Don't know where these feelings of anxiety have came from as not the type to focus on doom and gloom plus to be honest I don't feel any different physically.

    Lovely to get a Poppy wash earlier ;)

    Right need to print some Dr O coupons and have a T's conditional spend - so deep breathe and business as usual xx

    I had forgotten how it makes you feel. Are you having steroids, so awake all through the night? Has the nausea improved any?
    It is awful I know hopefully it's done the job though :o

    I am just bringing this list from yesterday forward incase it needs any adjustments or additions.

    I am being good and resisting - all I really need is micellar water, just starting on the last of the free Boots ones we got from 02 - it lasts ages, very economical

    Yes I'm on Dexamethasone and Prednisolone steroids too, but can start weaning off soon.
    After taking your advice Di, I have been taking the Ondansetron for 5 days after chemotherapy, which has greatly reduced nausea :). Thank you :A
    I'm too advanced to be cured, but want as many cancer cells to be killed as possible. I may have Radiotherapy further down the road :o

    I, erm, bought some items C&C and noticed they are not deducting the "offer" How do I return items and get a refund in store? Is it just a case of delivery note with payment card or more complicated?

    TIA

    Can I ask would this glitch work on a home delivery as I cant near an Asda for days. Also does it still work that you can have a large APG on a HD?
    Please and thank you
