Thats well to the west of where I am, and I don't drink.

I do, however, rather like food.
 
Yes..... I get my Omeprazil delivered as required. I never know what the box will be like or what colours the capsules will be BUT they all say Omeprazil.

Did you mean this?

The Doc has now put me one this one as it should (she says) help with the kidney problems (problems that i was unaware of)

NB the 300mg Nizatidine definitely take longer to work than the 10mg Omeprazole which act very quickly.

I see in the local chip wrapper that dog walkers are being used fairly target by privately employed council wardens.

I had one approach me a while back whike I was out with Bruce and he demanded that I prove that I had poo bags with me. I did, but that's not the point - I was doing nothing wrong andnhe wasn't the police, merely a private citizen with no powers. So I said to Bruce, "come on Ben", and slowly walked away while completely ignoring the nodder. After a few hundred yards he gave up following me and went to look for easier pickings.

Do not engage with private citizen contractors employed thus by councils - they have no powers and if they dont know who you are there is nothing whatsoever they can do. Not a sausage. Just blank them as if they weren't there.

That's very interesting Mo. Thanks.

@classic33 reading the second paragraph under "What are generic and biosimar medicines?" Is this why you are so sensitive to changes? To continue the spare key analogy we all know the spare never quite fits as well as the original.
I think it's as much to do with being on these two particular manufacturers brands for the last 13 years out of the 48 and 42 years I've been taking these drugs, that has a bigger part in the side effects/sensitivity towards them.

Just keen on staying away from A&E's where possible. And keep overall costs down. Saving a 1/3 of a penny per tablet, with another manufacturers being used, isn't worth the risk.
Box of 100 costs just over £10. The alternates cost £7-£9 per box.

A notification from IKEA that my delivery would be between 7am and 7pm. A furhter notification that it would be between 7am and 11am, then a final one telling me that 07:10 was my delivery slot. A really helpful couple of lads arrived on time and checked everything was in order before heading on their way to the next delivery. Noticed that the van was all electric as it pulled away with very little noise. Two granddaughters bathed and hair washed courtesy of Mrs Tkk, I got to put the posh Lush bath bomb in to the water. The girls " helped ' me to prepare breakfast of a fresh fruit salad drizzled with maple syrup. Had a kick around in the back garden and fed the cat that has adopted us. Mrs Tkk has sorted out a couple of tea towels to cover her chair and foot stool when the cat decides it wants to sleep there🤔 ( my reaction is Oi! feck off! )
Girls are off to help grandma with the shopping, we're short of biscuits and hedgehog/cat food.

Nipped out for another little wander before the next showers arrive. I see we have the first snow up on the hills. It's also predicted to hit freezing tonight. It's starting to feel more like winter than autumn!

Good on you Mo, I'm the great prevaricator but your posts "guilt trip " (in a good way ) me into making the effort to head out the door 😁
