    scuzz. I top up mine and the girl's phones at boots so I can accrue the points and it also means when you have to spend £15 in one transaction for extra points-that offer was on in my local boots last weekend- if I top up all 3 phones by £5 each I have spent enough to get extra points!!!(I have nearly £20 worth of boots points on my card. I save my pigsback bootsvouchers for christmas.) Last year we spent £50 in boots just on the girls giftsets and it was 3 for 2 at the time.
    I also save the morrisons savings stamps for my christmas shop-I've got over 50quids worth so far.
    Sorry I'm rambling time to make a cuppa

    Hello everybody,

    First of all Congratulations r mac :D None of us guessed. :rolleyes:
    Chalky Maybe you should let DH handle the tools in future. :D
    Lyndsay I wonder what the conversation was around the work lunch table. ;):D I bet you'll get good service now.
    Beth Sorry to read your troubles. I think it's the feeling of helplessness that gets us down in this situation. Nothing we do will make it better. You just have to ride the wave of life. Take care.
    Melika (hugs) & I can't remember who :o they were going to the dr's today, they they thought their thryoid med was too low, & has depression (you know who who are :D) Hope you get it sorted.

    It's morning here, and the brain hasn't really kicked in properly. ;) Hope you all have a sound sleep. Chat later. Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
    Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia. ;)

    Bethebee --- I am so sorry you are all having such a terrible time. It seems so unfair that you have such a lot to bear.

    I know how you must love all your family and when people you love are hurting you hurt too

    You will be wanting to do all you can emotionally and physically for them amd in order to be able to do that you must look after yourself too. Take care all your friends online are here for you. Even if you cant post read the words of encouragement and know we are thinking of you
    Try and do a good deed every day.

    r.mac - congratulations - goodness what a surprise!!!!

    Beth - what a lot for you and yours to struggle with - as Chalky says you must look after yourself too - that's why they tell you to put your oxygen mask on first before putting on that of your child - you won't be able to help if you're compeltely frazzled yourself and you're not in the best of health yourself -huge hugs
