    I've just had an email from M offering me 4000 More points if I spend £40. Am I right in thinking that this one works when you buy a gift card for Amazon? (I know that the till spit one doesn't !!!8211; I think.)

    thanks in advance...

    This has worked for me buying M&S and John Lewis gift cards so can't see why it wouldn't work for Amazon x

    :)

    It is times like this I remember why I left my job...

    Went in to post, chatting to the SA whilst she processed my mail, when the boss shouts out to my SA 'Can you serve please, there is a queue' :eek::eek:
    When she hadn't even finished serving me :(

    I was so angry :(

    I saw this but decided that the privacy issues outweighed the £5 especially as I've no idea what I'd spend £25 on!

    What privacy issue? Install, get the voucher, get the item you want, uninstall ;).

    Hmm, well, err, no. I haven't picked up a camera since last April :( Though I did manage to put together a 2018 calendar for friends and family :)



    I was like that, despite having many lingering symptoms, I just accepted my lot when you come up against "normal" all the time. Going to Uni really opened my eyes, other students were not only doing the course, but had part time jobs, boyfriends / girlfriends / family, a social life and numerous other hobbies and there was me struggling to keep up with the course. Clearly something wasn't right.

    The reason for the private Endo was to get t3 prescribed, I like to do things by the book. Long story short, after a trial he said I didn't need it and symptoms where not due to hypothyroidism or its management :cool: Such a final and bold statement to make! I knew he was wrong so had a gene test (DI02) turns out I inherited two faulty genes, one from each parent so I have reduced conversion of t4 to t3. Gave him this info and he replies there is chance I wasn't given enough t3! !!!!!!, don't make such final statements to my GP without testing out an increase in dose first. Patients are made to jump through hoops and it shouldn't be like that. You can buy t3 from Mexico :cool: (Which is legal in the uk, we have a special clause in the 1968 medicines act, which allows us to import medication strictly for our own use.)

    Looks like i'll be going it alone, as he hasn't wrote to my GP about the gene test results. I'm switching to NDT just waiting for the right time, figure if i'm going to end up paying for t3 then NDT works out cheaper and get all the benefits of T4, T3, T2, T1 plus calcitonin.

    Westie sounds like a nightmare, if you do decide on ndt I would be very interested in how you get on, I have considered it for dh but would like first hand reports from a trusted source he is not keen:( but I could persuade himif it would work:)
