Yantan Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Noo steady on Alex! You'll be overdoing it and feeling carp if you are not careful. My money is on a 3.10 delivery for the TV! I hope your doctor's visit goes OK Griff. Get back and put your feet up and relax - OK? This Black Friday free for all seems to be getting out of hand. I don't know why we have to copy American stuff like this. It's bad enough that the kids have a prom night (the expense must be horrendous!) refer to secondary school as "high school", when I were a lass the high school was the grammar school and they are mostly no more, refer to the police as "the feds", use mom for mum, calls maths "math" - and oh so many more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 I agree Marian we had to go past the Tesco thats in the news about fighting on our way to my preop assessment, we ended up stuck at the traffic lights right by the entrance and we were gobsmacked, never seen so many cars and people all beeping, and shouting and rushing about, irony is that the other big Tesco we passed was half empty but is also a Tesco Extra so would have had all the same deals - you wouldn't get me anywhere near any of them today and you know how much I do loves a bargain lol ...I did spend a wee while trying to get on tesco direct last night/this morning just to see what the fuss was about but as I don't need a telly nor a fancy expensive to run coffee machine I wasn't tempted.... however there could well be a £10 pair of Jeans in my Evans shopping bag which might get "checked out" a bt later lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merledogs Posted November 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Merledogs, is this the tv that should have been delivered last week? i do hope they compensated you in some way. I will take it easy i promise! just going to the drs and then get back home It is but I doubt I'll get anything back. Useless beggars. Noo steady on Alex! You'll be overdoing it and feeling carp if you are not careful. My money is on a 3.10 delivery for the TV! I hope your doctor's visit goes OK Griff. Get back and put your feet up and relax - OK?

Telly is set up and working. It was easier to get the telly working than it was to put the ruddy stand together which I had to take off and do again I now have a mahoosive set in my living room. The picture is great on the HD channels, but not quite so great on the other channels because the telly's so big. Can't wait to watch the footie on Sunday Oh great, just tried to use it to browse the web and the screen's just gone black.

merledogs Posted November 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 I have a poorly toe. Ages ago I noticed a big bruise underneath the big toenail on my left foot. To cut a long story short, half the nail on that toe has died and is coming off. I went to answer the front door earlier and on opening the door, I bashed it into my toe which was excruciating. Now its throbbing and the bit of nail which was broken is digging into the nailbed. Ouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My husband dropped a heavy object on his foot and bruised his big toe and the nail strated to come adrift from the toe. To stop it catching as it grew up to drop off the doctor told him to stick it down with sellotape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Ms Merle, I think you need a podiatrist. I am very relieved to say that my auntie has agreed to go into the North London Hospice, and will be moved there tomorrow. A home hospice nurse will coming to stay with her tonight. The carer this morning called my sister and said a GP visit was needed, and perhaps my sister could get auntie to agree to this. She persuaded her, and the GP who came was a very young one who auntie likes. The older GP she saw last time was adamant that she did not need hospice, and should go into a care home if she could not cope. Anyway, between sister, GP, auntie's friend and also the district nurse who turned up at that point, they persuaded auntie and she has agreed. Sister says she has deteriorated a lot since last week. We know she will not be with us long, but we felt so dreadful that between the senior GP being difficult and auntie being awkward, her final days would not be spent surrounded by the care and comfort she needs. She will now have whatever heavy duty painkillers she needs and expert 24 hr care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrackenMc Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Sam (Happylittlegreensquirrel) if you are about, can you still do a spay for £12. Thinking of an early Christmas present from me to me sort of thing. Not sure if you can still do them for such a small amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooster Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Hope the dogs are feeling better soon Alex Hope you are ok Griff - look after yourself Glad your Auntie is going to get the care she needs to keep her comfortable Owl I fell off Blue last night - first fall from him in over 4 years. He had been so good in our lesson and right at the end he had a massive spook when a gate nearby banged, launched himself to the side and I came out the side door I landed on my leg and it's pretty sore today. Am sure I'll survive though. I have my second date with Danny tomorrow - not seen him since before my holiday, but we've kept in contact pretty regularly since then. He's picking me up and we are going for a pub lunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
