    Well miracles do happen- I lost half a pound this morning! 

    Mum forgot what medication she needed to order, found a prescription, lost it, found it again but then discovered the second page was missing and she couldn’t remember what was on it 🙈🙈 after much discussion with the pharmacist I think it’s sorted! Shopping was abandoned until tomorrow 😳

    Wine syns are definitely being consumed here!

    Meant to say well done on the loss @TakeItEazy and sorry about the gain but lucky you on the raffle and SOTW basket @bubbs 🥳🥳

    Well done on your loss @Jellybaby. 👏👏👏 Enjoy your wine syns tonight!

    What a palaver with your mum. Our local pharmacy has stopped giving a paper copy of repeat prescriptions (unless you ask). They said you can use the NHS app or the GP's website. I'm sure your mum would get on well with that! 🤔🤣

    Shame about your gain @bubbs. Again, it doesn't make sense but you did well with the raffle tickets. 👍

    Oh quick question for those on PIP, Hubby only gets the mobility part but circumstances have changed. How does he go about changing his claim? Thanks in advance 💞
    He does not change his claim per say.
    He would notify the PIP team of a change of circumstances & give the reasons why.
    They look at the whole claim claim again & remember there is always a liklihood however small that he could loose the award.
    HTH.

    We were discussing this today over lunch with DD @beanielou. It can be so disappointing eating out when it costs an arm and a leg or the food is mediocre or frequently both. ☹️ Around here it's about £80 for two courses and a drink for 2 people. 🤔

    I so get this. No wonder places are struggling.
    I loathe feeling I have been taken advantage of.
    I am  still amazed at the £18 for risotto.
    Lucky if the ingredients cost even a couple of quid.
    Mind you my mum have said for years that if you thought about it you would never eat out.
    Dreading DS's big birthday meal cost.
