Next - shopping on line free delivery

[Robinia]

I'm probably being a really dumb biddy but I don't do much on-line shopping!
Next are offering free delivery but where do you put the code? As you 'add to bag' it makes out your order but I don't see a space for special codes and the total adds on the delivery charge.
Hope this makes sense, I'm losing the plot today. Thanks.

Neti, if you shrink your jeans you can send 'em to me...ideally I'm probably a size 11 (bottoms) so it's either a generous 10 or skimpy 12. I'm sure there were jeans which went up one size at a time, was it Pepe? I think I'll just give up & go down the crimplene, elasticated waist route.
I really should start de-cluttering...yet again. It never seems to get any less. As part of my xmas present my sis/bro-in-law revamped an ottoman for me (sorry if I'm repeating myself) and it's sitting there.... completely empty....waiting for me to fill it.... :o)

I was a size 13 in unisex Levis for a long time - then they got discontinued. It is very annoying that there are no inbetween sizes because I could then wear a size 15 trouser and a size 19 top. I wear an 18 but sometimes I need a wee bit bigger - broad back you understand!!!

[LoftyLottie]

I went into the room ready to declutter and then decided to have some lunch!! They decided to watch the news and now and contemplating watching Doctors. I need an incentive!!

Lottie any woman who respects a man's ummmm junk (!) is an excellent wife and deserves a crown in heaven. DH and I are both the same, we hoard for years, have a good chuck out then start hoarding again.

[LoftyLottie]

I wouldn't mind Woofy, but when you have a huge double garage with a large loft space and you can't even cram a paperclip into it then it's just too much!! We even have a lot of the contents of MinL's house in our garage and she has been gone for 13 years. And a lot of those things were junk she accumulated.

It's a timber garage and sometimes I feel light opening the door and throwing a lighted match in there!!

;o)

Here's an incentive Lofty

I was just saying to Mr S that I need to clear out "stuff" . I'm going to have to be pretty ruthless .We have a storage container and loft too ,full of "stuff" .
But I get rid off things and turn around and some elf keeps bringing me more :)
I need an incentive to get on with it but I've just lugged back from the shops and really don't feel like doing anything ( achey day )and I have washing up to my armpits .

I used to be a skinny minnie .I was about 8 and half stone in my twenties .Like a long drink of water .
I can't imagine what's happened !!
Cold but dry here .Oh well onwards and upwards .
KBO for now xxxx

Hi Shaney,

Mr LL spends a day in the garage and comes out with a bin liner full of stuff - takes it down the tip and comes back with twice as much!!

I have put myself back on my Meloxicam. My arthritis was getting unbearable. Three days on and I have to admit I am feeling far better. I am now just waiting for an IBS flare up, althought I am taking Gaviscon every night at the same time as the Meloxicam.

Do you fancy an Italian soon? xx

[shaneystar2]

I was on Meloxicam at one time .And Piroxicam and another one which they took off the drugs register ,Viox or something ? I'll swear blind these ruddy things are what caused me to start up with this IBS .I just take Ibroprufen now if I can't stand it anymore .In fact I dosed myself up last night and went to bed early I was in so much pain .
I would love an Italian Lofy but it's finding the time .We're lumbered with with medical mystery appointments most of this month .I'm hoping they'll give us a date for the prostate op soon but have to wait to see what the DVT dcotor says .Plus these blood tests and you never know in advance when they are going to be .

[LoftyLottie]

I was trying to cope with just Paracetamol which the doctor advised. But it did nothing. So for a couple of weeks I have been taking Ibuprufen at night which helped a bit, but have decided to give Meloxicam another go and take it with Gaviscon which lines the tum. I will try it for a couple of weeks. It is nice to get a break from the pain which was getting unbearable.

I understand about the difficulty in meeting up Shaney. Just drop me a mail as soon as you think you have a spare day. You can always cancel. I won't mind. I miss you! xx

[Robinia]

Must be the weather then, all this achey malarkey? I've never taken any 'specialist' pain relief, just paracetamol, ibuprofen & I used to have the occasional codeine...works on the pain but irritates the innards something awful.... The doc once mentioned a very low dose of an antidepressant (amitriptyline), works quite well on pain. All these things have side effects though.

Right I'll have another go at calling my friend, I couldn't get through on the tv remote :o/...one of those days.

[Robinia]

oh tut, that's decided for me...a coat I liked in new arrivals on M&S site has sold out already, the only one which has...hey ho, it'll be common anyway won't it :o)

[LoftyLottie]

He he Robi anything involving codeine makes me hallucinate badly and what's more doesn't shift the pain.

The number of times I have tried to phone people with the remote or change channels with the phone................................

My phone is next the keyboard and when I get through to a organisation where you have to press this number or that number to get through to the right department I am somewhat prone to putting them in on the computer keyboard - same with my debit card number!!

Good being an old biddie in'it! :o)

[LoftyLottie]

Show us the coat then Robi - perlease.

[LoftyLottie]

I take anti-anxiety/antidepressants. They haven't done a thing for the pain!! :o(

I went to the doc this morning and got not him - he's pretty useless - but a sensible middle-aged woman locum who should probably have been wearing tweed... anyway, told her I was achey, especially in my arms, and she went through my extensive drug list and told me to stop taking the statins, since they were probably causing it - especially since my cholesterol seems to be fine. She also took my BP and said it was that of a 25-year-old, which has cheered me up no end. One fewer pill and my BP's fine (with the aid of other pills, of course). Don't often get results like that from treks to the surgery.

Then had lunch at the Groucho Club - rather less glam than it sounds, just cheese sandwiches and a little lecture. But really quite a cheering day.

Shaney, I know, I used to be eight and a half too - I'm one of those people who can boast I've not only kept my youthful figure, I've doubled it.

[Robinia]

Shame it doesn't have a hood...
http://www.marksandsp...r=1-20&qid=1294670592

well it was a dark morning and it's dark early now...this might be more appropriate & considerably cheaper

[woofgang]

Thats a fab coat, hood or no hood.
Dh used to take statins, they made him feel like broccoli. The doc said it couldn't be the statins but every time he tried them again the broccoli feelings came back...in the end he decided the cholesterol risk was better and told the doc where to stick them.

I was supposed to be cleaning today but have pulled some intercostal muscles under my right arm which is blooming painful and deeply inconvenient. :-( I have done naff all today and the floor is still filthy.

[LoftyLottie]

Well done jno. Mr LL has to take statins because of Heart Attack, even though his cholesterol is naturally low. It is now even lower, but apparently he still has to take statins. The first ones gave him so many aches and pains in his arms and chest that he was permanently worried it was his heart. He also had dreadful leg pains. They changed the statins and no problems since.

My blood pressure is permanently high and more especially so when I go to have it taken!!

Now going to take a peep at the coat that Robi can't get at present.

[LoftyLottie]

Lovely coat. It will suit you fine Robi with your slimline figure. I'm afraid I don't do waists any more. I would just look like an eskimo in it.

As for hoods. I always think they are useful, but never put them up (except on my walking waterproof when it rains!! They will come back into stock. M&S site is worth watching on a daily basis.

[LoftyLottie]

Mr LL has a coat like your second link. He tends to wear it out when we are walking - perhaps in case I lose him!!
