Naproxen is wonderful stuff, it got rid of all my aches and pains and I could walk!
Unfortunately the other GP told me not to take it.

annsixty Thu 13-Oct-16 19:03:59

It has to be the Naproxen as I was on the same dose of cocodamol and citalopram and it never had that effect on me ( I'm sorry to say).?

There has been a lot of hoo ha (not sure if that's how you spell it hmm) around the kitchen recently so I decided we all needed a treat. Please help yourself to a slice of chocolate fudge cake or jam and cream sponge,whatever you fancy.

Eat up quickly, I've just heard on the London news there is a gorilla on the loose shock he might be after my cake!

soop Thu 13-Oct-16 17:58:43

Well, thank you, it's good to be amongst friends! smile

janeainsworth Thu 13-Oct-16 17:25:52

Relief!

Charleygirl Thu 13-Oct-16 17:19:46

Thank goodness it is not a scam- as long as they keep paying you, that is the main thing!

I got hot and bothered temporarily in case you had your bank account emptied.

cornergran Thu 13-Oct-16 17:19:03

Yes, we had the same lona, letters are safe - so far! I say we did, Mr C had a rebate, I had a bill not fair!!

Lona Thu 13-Oct-16 17:16:16

Not a scam, a letter from HMRC. Apparently you have to wait 45 days or register online to receive your refund within 3 to 5 days.
My friend had to do the same thing a couple of weeks ago.
I've always received cheques before but this is probably a cost saving exercise as well as getting everyone online.

soop Thu 13-Oct-16 17:06:45

Sorry...it's Lona that I'm wanting to read this.

janeainsworth Thu 13-Oct-16 17:04:44

Lona what do you mean - how did HMRC inform you? If it was by letter that's probably ok but if by email definitely not.
If you get a rebate, they usually just send you a cheque or pay directly into your bank account.
I agree with Charleygirl - ring your bank asap or check online if you are able to.

soop Thu 13-Oct-16 17:03:18

Charleyg PLEASE check. Did you give out your bank details? Please say no. shock

Charleygirl Thu 13-Oct-16 16:59:15

Lona that is as scam.

There is a thread describing it. Please double check that you have not disclosed all of your details and your account has been emptied.

soop Thu 13-Oct-16 16:57:58

Lona I'm mad on your behalf. I know the feeling very well. flowers

Lona Thu 13-Oct-16 16:54:36

Well, I've just done 'a soop'! HMRC informed me of a tax rebate so I decided to bite the bullet and register on government.website. Took me ages, got through all the palaver and to the end of the bank details and my bleeping Internet went down!
angry
Now having a calming cuppa!

soop Thu 13-Oct-16 16:53:12

wot grin

corner Sanity lurks some place in the closet. I must admit to sometimes being on the cusp of insanity. Especially when the flamin' computer goes AWOL.

cornergran Thu 13-Oct-16 16:47:35

That's it wot, x posts.

cornergran Thu 13-Oct-16 16:46:34

I've got one of those, wot, certainly something that does the same job, had it a few years so maybe different. Blue with bits that fold over each other. My nearest and dearest laughed, how rude! I love it. Great for taming falling heaps and also for packing a suitcase. Can't be doing with the new fangled rolling approach, doesn't work for me! I"ll let you describe them properly to soop*, not sure I can manage a coherent description. One of those things that needs suspension of disbelief. grin. Would very much welcome some of whatever wobbly is taking, preferably before I got very bad tempered moving furniture. Bits of me are hurting I didn't know I had. Never mind, it means progress and soon sanity will return.

wot Thu 13-Oct-16 16:42:12

Well, it's a square thing which has got folding sides, top and bottom. It's called a clothes folder on Ebay. Actually, thinking about it, an oblong piece of cardboard could probably do the job just as well!

soop Thu 13-Oct-16 16:10:05

wot Do elaborate. What is this new fangled gizmo that you've acquired? I'm intrigued.

Wobblybits It really was a wee dram. I haven't allowed a sip to pass my lips until today. Antibiotics with a dram is asking for trouble. At this moment...I'm just a trifle giggly. MacSporran says...never mind, I shall look after you...which of course he will. grin

wot Thu 13-Oct-16 15:40:32

Do tell us what you took, wobbly....sounds marvellous!

wot Thu 13-Oct-16 15:39:24

I should have had one when I was doing neighbours ironing. (Folder upper)

wot Thu 13-Oct-16 15:37:59

I've just bought a "shirt, jumper, folder upper". It took me ages to master it, but it's quite good, even for thick jumpers. Now I have to get them on the shelf without the whole pile toppling down on me!
Thanks for the welcome back, Soop! ??

Wobblybits Thu 13-Oct-16 15:34:04

Soop, if I was to join you in a wee dram, I would be in orbit.
