    Huge thanks for this - I need to nag OH into making sure he has his prescription with him at all times - you never know in this weather - you set off for somewhere, the weather closes in and you do an impromptu overnight stay ...
    Numerous times like this - planes get diverted or delayed, trains come to a grinding halt and you miss the final connection ... bitter experience talking here.

    Very glad you made it to Portsmouth - sometimes it can help just getting yourself out of the house and the normal everyday routine and getting yourself somewhere else.
    I've been starting to flag over the last couple of days and non of the usual "fix-its and cure-alls" were working but todays foraging missions have given me something else to focus on.

    Afternoon Elite :wave:

    I had a good drive down to Portsmouth, left at 5am and got here 8.30, including one fuel stop and one food and loo stop. Chatted to my friend Kit for 20 m8ns and then went to lie on bed for couple of hours. On my way down I realised that I'd forgotten to put my meds box in case but no way was I going back for them. I carry spare paracetamol and codeine in my handbag so woukd be ok for them, and could pinch a few hayfever tablets off Kit, but no way could I do without my 'nutty pills as I get I'll within a few hours of missing taking them. Either sickly I'll or rock bottom depression. So I rang 111 for advise and was told local pharmacy could help. Luckily I carry my latest copy of repeat prescription in my coupon wallet, just in case so pharmacist was able to go online to see my GP BHS medication records and do me an out of hours prescription and provide 2nd with my necessary medication. Worth noting, and we'll worth carrying your repeat prescription form with you at all time as you never know



    I had an appointment for minor procedure under general anaesthetic, with overnight stay as alone in house, booked for 23rd January and was expecting a call. It came on Thursday but instead of postponing it, they said specialist wouldn't be in that day and could I come in on Wednesday 10th January 😮 so going in this coming week 😕

    Strange 🤔

    I've recently used One4all cards as part payment in Argos.

    SnS

    You can use them in Argos yes. As long as you know how much is on them . Usually £10 . Or if you have used it tell them the exact amount and it will work .

    Please can I ask did you have a screen shot of the rules and regs regarding the usage of the mands £5 and £3 android pay cards? Mine are from the end of November, the original batch.

    The store I was in today had 3 assistants and a manager trying to process ours and between them they devised a work around. I was doing 3 seperate shops. Then a minite later the supervisor came back and said although they accepted them on this occassion then they were only for use in motorway service station marks or possibly simply foods.
    (in other words dont use them in this marks again)
    Needless to say I have used them fairly good to easily in 2 other marks - one a main store and one a simply foods.

    They are lying , they don’t know what to do that’s all. I used a £5 one today and put £1 to it on the £6 meal deal but another till wouldn’t accept the £3 one off a jumper because it was in the sale and that came up on the till.

    Thought I had sorted out another ap account with a different email but same card but it didn’t work :( so back to the drawing board lol

    If anyone is buying 11+1 mullers and looking for fillers v Sains, it's not easy! However, I found that Nakd bars in 3 flavours: - lemon drizzle, peanut delight and cocoa coconut work out free after APG if you buy all 3 and claim 60% back on on shopmium. If you're not already using the shopmium app you would get something else free as well if you join via a referral link. If you can be bothered searching mine is on the referrers board - Link - but you will likely find other familiar names on there as well. I joined 22-4-16 and I have had loads of free stuff, I really can recommend it.

    Interesting - not thought about putting my refcodes over there ... worth a try, might be of use to someone

    If you scroll down when you have the number s up for M and S it tells you what they have to do.

    So you got the meal deal one accepted
    But not the £3 off a sale item?

    Bothe Mands I've been in today had masses of sale items but I didn't have the energy to go through the rails - just getting the meal deals was enough of a struggle

    I really like hearing about your very small shops - very inspirational.
    My best days are when I've got out of the house, done the rounds of the shops, got some fresh air and come back having spent less than £5 :D



    Tinsel 25p in T's. Napkins 35p.

    The Xmas cakes went down to £2.

    The large chocolate pannetone are 1.25 for 500g.

    Bacofoil turkey foil 45p but it's only 3 metres.

    And in mine there's a whole stack of Italian-style deli meat platters but not being rtc till tomorrow as dated 7th.

    I bought nothing. :money:Only called in for a look on way home from library.

    Yesterday I spent 1.55. Getting back to normal now. :D
