One for you, salymap

It's such a pain when they do that, & the new stuff never seems to be any better than the old. & I'm on Warfarin, so any change to my drugs means that I've got to have more frequent checks because the dosage changes

[alycidon]

Yes. And the other thing that baffles me, is that drugs that I have to take permanently are never the same shape, size, or colour each time I renew my prescription. I know the reason; the pharmacist always buys in the cheapest - many of which come from the continent, anyway.

Fortunately, I'm still compos mentis, but it will be difficult if I ever become non compos mentis!

I agree alycidon. Not only the size, colour and shape change, the chewable calcium, once a nicelemon flavour nowtaste of cheap sweet stuff. They never get better

I did not realise NHS drugs for oral consumption were now being made by Coca Cola!

Those changes in size, colouring and packing are amazing aren't they alycidon.

I was sent a new packaging recently that I had to use a knife to get into most days - as my mother used to say "it's all a question of how you hold your mouth"

Well, I suppose SHE knew what she meant. I'm blowed if I do!

My mum used to have a few rather strange sayings - one of which was, "Never leave pins on the floor: you never know what you're getting your feet into".

[salymap]

My mum and dad had several odd [to me] sayings. That won't buy the baby a new frock, or mend the old one.
and the one about the weather over Will's mother's. Which may refer to Shakespeare or my Aunty Eve, who had a son Biil or Will.

I've been looking for a photo of my Cairn Terrier but think Igave it away [I was in it too ]

Hope gamba is well- haven't seen him around lately.

Off fora bit now.
