Gins - you can use Nectar points at Argos, according to this link.

http://www.nectar.com/spend.points

They do feature iPad2 on their on line catalogue, but you'd probably want to check availability rather than going on the off-chance.

Oooh....excellent Det, thank you very much. I just checked availability and they have a couple in stock :-D

Christmas tree has been up since wednesday, 7 cards on the mantle piece, 5 are for HID 2 for me :-( May get a card from a daughter she did ask for my address yet again.

Sorry to hear about your daughter Persie, I hated those attacks, with me it had been going on for 10 months before they diagnosed it, then I spent two lots of five days in hospital on a drip ect, within a couple of weeks of each other.

Low fat diet :-( No alcohol :-( ( I did cheat a bit as I had a 40th birthday to celebrate) removed Gall bladder and not had a problem with sausages since

Gins - you may be able to reserve in store if you are planning to go there within a day or two. There is nothing worse than turning up thinking an item is in stock, only to find they are sold out :-(

Luck recipient - your *are* generous!

Ginns - If Argos have it in stock, you can usually 'reserve' it on line to be kept at your local branch and then collect it the following day - that way you know that they will not have sold it before you get there!

I always do that nowadays!

I think I will reserve it and pop in tomorrow as I have just about finished at work for Christmas

He is very very lucky Det, I wouldnt normally spend that much but there is begger all else to buy that he needs or wants and it will be a fab suprise for him as he has already been told there is no way he is getting one....and he never expected one either..........says he'll save up and buy one in the summer

I cant wait to see his face on Christmas morning!

What causes gallstones?

My sister kept her when she had them removed, they looked like tiny green/grey cones.......amazing I thought..aged 10!

How about this

Gallstones are lumps or stones that develop in the gallbladder or bile duct. Some of the chemicals which exist in the gallbladder, such as cholesterol, calcium bilirubinate, and calcium carbonate, harden into either one large stone or many small ones. According to Medilexicon's medical dictionary, a gallstone is "A concretion in the gallbladder or a bile duct, composed chiefly of a mixture of cholesterol, calcium bilirubinate, and calcium carbonate, occasionally as a pure stone composed of just one of these substances". An article describes a gallbladder in the bile duct similar to trying to squeeze a golf ball through a straw.

edit

The majority of people with gallstones have no symptoms at all. This is because the stones generally stay in the gallbladder and cause no problems. Sometimes, however, gallstones may lead to cholecystitis (inflamed gallbladder). Symptoms of gallbladder inflammation include:
Pain on the right-hand side of the body, just below the ribs
Back pain
Pain in the right shoulder
Nausea
Vomiting
Sweating
Restlessness


I also looked at this

http://womenshealth.about.com/cs/gallbladder/a/causesgallstnes.htm

where quite a few of the reasons could be why I got them

I had lost a fair bit of weight...well not many people could say they weighed less after having a baby then when they fell pregnant

For my sons birthday I bought him an iPod. For my daughters birthday I bought her an iPhone and on my birthday I recieved an iPad.

Thinking along the same lines I bought my wife an iRon for her birthday - and thats where it all went horribly wrong.

My grandchildren's school runs a scheme where parents can pay monthly for their children's ipad and it is used for both schoolwork and for pleasure.They are amazing Dea.......touch screen with all sorts of features from camera to books to games to knowledge to animation.....fantastic - much as I would love one, it's way out of our league I'm afraid.


Jax, there is a built in touchscreen keyboard I think but don't know about c & p.





Such a busy day today............,........I'm all carolled out......... :-) :-)

Re the meals

I can do Thursday breakfast, as we'll still be here on Wednesday night

but we leave Thursday morning, and don't get back until the following Tuesday, so may be someone could do that next day's breakfast, in case we get held up.
