Hi Jean,
Thank you for the hot brekkie!
Rita, I hope the tablets work ok. I've never used Boots for prescriptions. I've always used Lloyds whenever I have needed a prescription.
I'm glad it's Wednesday becuase I've got chicken curry for tea and there's footie on the telly.

Morning All.

My daddy's birthday today 96yrs ....I'm taking him out for lunch .
Then after going to meet my London friends for an evening meal.!!
Think I'll be bloated by the end of the day ..LOL

I'm going to starve for two or three days cant have Shelly beating me on weight !!

Rita how are you today ?

Thank you Jean for the breakfast ,but I gave it to Pete as I'm still full up from last night ....

going for my bath ....

Oosps..... pressed twice .

Hi all, it's nice and sunny here but still very windy, the washing was wrapped round the line about 3 times.

Rita, I hope you're feeling a bit better today - although it might take more than 2 tablets. I hope Boots manage to get the other 4 for you. Sounds like someone in that shop needs a good shake to wake them up.

Try not to think about Mike's results until after he gets them, you never know - it could be good news. He's got all of us sending positive thoughts and good wishes for him. I'll light a candle and keep my fingers crossed for Thursday.

Dermot, that's very sad.

Jean, my grandmother had horses and stables, she really loved her horses. She couldn't drive a car but she used to go everywhere on her horse and cart. She rode around in it until she was too old to climb up onto it.

Hi everyone

I have had another day when I could pull my hair out infact I have a headache.

I told you about my three day course of a special anitibiotics I am taking 6 tablets in all 2 each day for three days.

The chemist had two and owed me four.they were going to deleiver this morning. nothing arrived so I phoned them. they will be with you at 12.30
I said I am suppose to take one in the morning and one in the evening and drink five bottles of water between. 12.30 they didnt arrive so I phoned them again, the box of medications have arrived and the staff where sorting them out from the box. ? I asked are mine there ? yes they are listed. will deleiver at 1. 30 ( you guest didnt arive )phoned again to be told we will send them over to you at 2 oclock. 2 o.clock came and went the old fellow upstairs went over and got them at 3 o'clock I have just taken one which should have been at 10 this morning.
I had a headache and ear ache by then nervers were getting to me.
This is service from a top chemist BOOTS.
I said I am not going there again but it will mean I have to get a bus to the other chemist which is about a mile away. so I will infutre ask are these in your stock ? if not I will go to the other chemist.

No wonder shops are going broken My sister told me that HMV in Brentcross has closed and that was a nice big shop also there are two in Oxford street one of those has closed, it appears they are losing money.
I heard this morning that M & S are having difficulties as well.

Hi Rita
I am so sorry you are still unwell and think that Boots have let you down badly !! I think you should try to write to Head Office or try to find out the regional office address and write to them, and really complain about the service NOT recieved.

I used to work for Boots moree than 30 years ago and was a trained dispenser for them for many years. They started to close all their smaller branches just leaving the bigger shops in towns. Then they took over Moss the chemists shops and that seems to be a mistake as they really are bad in your area.

You need a reliable local shop and are not having that at all.

I will investigate and see if I can find anything out for you.

It is a beautiful day here. Have been in the garden Hubby cut the grass this morning while I played with water and bubbles with little M.

Be back later

Linda :o) XxX

Hi Rita
I can only find the head office address, no regional offices seem to be listed now.

I will add it here but also send you an e-mail

I have read of many bad experiences by people on-line at Boots and think things have changed a lot since I worked for them More the shame !!!

Hi Linda
Thank you for the email I have noted it all down funny as out chemist had been a Moss chemist and we never had any trouble it was when they sold out three years ago we started having torubles.
we do have a Lolyds chemist in Knapphill they were brough off the Co-op.

we have a large Boots store in Woking but they rent out space to Waitrose so they cannot be doing much either can they ?

It is lovely here the sun is out and it is warm. the men came and did the emergency lighting this morning they have finished our building and are doing the others next week.

Love Rita

Thank you Paline that is kind of you thinking of Mike he has just been speaking to me.

You can all laugh now when I was 7 I use to go to school in a horse and cart a friend of mine Rays father had a book shop and he use to use a horse and cart getting about he use to take Ray to school and if he saw me come out of my little house give me a ride as well. we plodded along church Road to our school .

Evening all,
Rita you should definitely complain about the awful service from B**ts. That is just not good enough. Fingers crossed for Mike for tomorrow, hope news is better than he expects.
Jean I think you would like Ireland, its very beautiful, the people are unbelievably friendly and welcoming and go out of their way to help with directions etc. Perfect place to travel round by horse and vardo.
Marilyn, Happy Birthday to your dad, I hope he's had a lovely day and enjoyed lunch out.
Pauline your grandmother sounds like a character and I can picture her climbing up on to her cart.
Been a gorgeous warm day here and no wind which was lovely.
Hope everyone is ok,

Cath xx

Evening All !

Rita, Seems to be no end to your problems. Hope it all gets sorted soon.

Marilyn, Happy birthday to your Dad. Did he have you when he was just 16 ?

What a hellish day it's been for weather. More rain than we can cope with happily.

Having a late tea,

Hi everyone.

Just got back from my day out.......had a great lunch with my Dad he really enjoyed himself, he just wanted to let me know that he needs a holiday !!!!!

I said Dad I don't think so at your age , no insurance company would insure you at your age. but you could go anywhere in this country ....OK he said take me someone and I'll pay ...

But I have my life booked for other things ......haven't got time to take him anywhere ,
God he does not give up .....LOL

Got grand daughter tomorrow, taking her out with my friends on the Moors then on to Tavistock to the country market .

Rita I think you could when you are well enough speak to the manager of that Chemist and tell him your ordeal I'm sure head Office would be mortified at the not so good service that yo never had ...

Stevey are you implying that I'm older than I should be ....Cheeky monkey !!

Awhhh thanks for all your birthday greetings for my Daddy ..LOL

Marilyn,
Happy birthday to your Dad. 96 is some age!
I thoought it was funny was Stephen said.
hope you had a nice day at Tavistock. I went through Tavistock once on the way to Morwellham Quay.
Going to bed now with a cup of coffee and book. Been watching the footie
Night x

Morning all,
my last day at work before I go on holiday next week, woo hoo. Having my hair cut later (got to look my best, lol).
Hope everyone is well and Rita is on the mend, lots of positive thoughts for Mike today, (((((hugs)))))
Have a good day all,

Cath xx

Morning all.

You must be getting excited now Cath, I'm sure you'll have a lovely holiday in Ireland.

Rita, you're very good at writing letters............. so put pen to paper and get a letter of complaint written as soon as you feel well enough. Fingers crossed for Mike today.

I didn't see any posts off Mo or Dermot yesterday........... have they ran off together?

Stephen, you got off very lightly with what you said about Marilyn........ LOL

Hello everyone, hope you had a restful night.
Rita, hope you are starting to feel better, it may be worth telling your doctor about the problems with getting your pills from Boots, a few sharp words from him may well make them buck their ideas up.

Breakfast is ready.
cereal, fruit or juice.
on the hotplate -- bacon, eggs, sausage, mushrooms, tomatoes
toast, crumpets or pancakes.
coffee, tea.
help yourselves.

Hope you all have a good day,
Take care and stay safe.
