    I would like to ask for some help please regarding TENS machine for back pain.
    Please, has anyone any experience or can offer some advice/recommendation?
    I’m looking to buy one in desperation, but there’s so many to choose from.

    Thank you kindly x

    Gutted to hear that you are in so much pain mr hobknob:o

    In this part of the world you can lease a machine via the Pain management clinic .....NHS hospitals......for 4 weeks. It's a brand new machine and you trial it for a month. If you see no success then you can simply hand it back in without any commitment. If it works you buy it at a special price of £32. You need to buy new pads as and when.

    I know that doesn't answer your question but I've never tried one and not able to advise.

    I hope you can find one that works for you:A

    Good morning,

    Well I decided to go back to T's this morning to see if they had put out any extra stock of the christmas toilet rolls. They had not, as I turned around there was these on the shelf priced at £1.44 so I cleared the shelf.

    I feel like I am going to be known as the toilet roll lady!!!!!!!! I just feel like I am on a ROLL at the minute.

    Have a good day today everybody.

    It's funny you should say this but as I got to T this morning at the crack of dawn, there was a man clearing the shelves of these.

    I assumed it was DM buying the wrong ones so didn't give it any more thought:o:D

    That makes sense now

    i need new broadband. best deal i can see is the post office at £15.90
    no extra charges and £50 cb with quidco. but keep getting a message to complete on the phone :mad: ive tried from other addresses and it works fine. ill try again tomorrow. but in case it still dont work need an alternative.
    so as near this as poss £11.70 ish after cb sky gave up os soon as i told them price lol

    edit im off out now so bye for now.

    nothing but broadband

    still could not do this on line so i opted to get NOW TV broadband
    £18 per month with anytime calls (wont use them)
    £9 delivery of box
    £75 cb from quidco which tracked instantly

    so all in all works out at £150 for the 1st year = £12.50 per month for my comparisons

    Froctober definitely did me good it has reduced my buying for the sake of it. I have just really struggled spending £6 for the tcb and ended up buying dh 6 shower gels from b@@Ts, they'll work out at 50p each so not to be sniffed at.
    At 7.30 this morning I was going to dash off to Ts for loo rolls but I just do not have the energy I'm in work at 10am so it won't be happening this morning.
    Happy birthday Bubbs.
