Re: What have you just bought?
 all true. I enjoy drinking the stuff at home as well and thinking about how much I've saved. Pub prices for wine as you say are crazy.

Re: What have you just bought?
I'm also happy to have found a wine that suits me to a T. Hardy's Shiraz from Asda. It was sub-£5, then someone snitched to Welsh Arsembly and Minimum Price for Alcohol was applied, lifting it to £5.07.
They've got another Shiraz (Nice Drop). 13.5% again, but only £4.25. It's a bit "thin" for my taste. Oddly, whilst the Hardy's has jumped to £5.25, it is still at £4.25 with MUPA not applied.

Re: What have you just bought?
A dashboard cover for the car (they sell at around £35 in the UK, but AliExpress sells them at £13, and that includes UK VAT).
They reduce reflections in the windscreen from the dashboard surface.

Re: What have you just bought?
We’ve just been and bought new curtains and two sets of bedding for the main bedroom, because apparently we’re getting it re-decorated…

Why do they do that? Especially when it was done before.

Re: What have you just bought?
A mobility scooter, only 4mph but I feel like I'm going 80, so I'm being very wary probably walking faster to get fro a to b that is if I could stop this dreadful, uncontrolable shaking that's controlling my life. However, got a face to face appointment Tuesday with a Doctor, the 5th Doctor I have seen. By the way I spotted a puzzling entry on my medical record which says Multi Disciplinary meeting, anyone one know what this means?  I have spoken to a girl who used the work at the surgery and she says she has never seen that on anyone elses record Anyone any ideas?

My mum bought one and loved it as she could get about better, it had a top speed of 4mph, but she could adjust that, to match our walking pace.
With regards it could mean that they will have more that 1 person checking you over.

From my time dealing with Clinical Negligence cases I’d agree with this - without knowing all the facts it does sound more like it means different areas of medicine rather than someone being “disciplined” in the traditional sense.

I had a Multi Disciplinary Team as my different medical conditions needed to be taken into consideration and some medications I took for one condition could have had an adverse reations on my other conditions. Such as when when I was put on a trial drug for my Autoimmune disease. Knowing that my different Consultants and Doctors were all in the loop made me feel more confident in considering my options.

I find the problem to be the "feet" that sit on the bowl. They used to be made of hard rubber, so didn't slip sideways very easily. I have one to replace, but as it has nylon "feet" I shall be applying a layer of silicone to their surface. That, and apply silicon oil to all the metal bits, especially the screws that hold the "feet" on.
I have ordered a lanyard thing to hang my smartphone around my neck. Our daughter bought me the phone, but is not amused that it spends 99% of its time in its original box. I need it now, to get a year's worth of free car washes via barcodes sent by email.
