Good Morning!

I banked my rewards for xmas last year got like $100 off @Former-Member

@TAB Yes its good I did not buy any extra food just because I got a rewards discount off my shop. I just economise here and there and try not to overdo my budget with grocery if I get a rewards discount as it tempts people to buy more. Have to speak to my tech wizard today so that will be something else to factor into my budget. Just cleared the floor in the laundry and put a load of clothes washing through, cardboard, plastic and tins recyclables are out, the compost is in the bin and the kitchen skip has been tossed. Once again order in the house. Just reheated a quiche for lunch which I cooked several weeks ago from the freezer. Got to bake more bread. Spoke to my brother briefly on the e-mail.

Just love a good discount / points combo @Former-Member 🙌🏻😀🌺

sounds like you’ve had a busy day so far, too 🙂🌺

I am a bit like @TAB where I tend to save up my points / dollars and spend it at those moments when there’s events (Christmas, or other event, etc) ☺️.
it’s nice knowing there’s a few bucks ready if needed, too 🙂🌺

@MDT @Former-Member .. just rewards card and link to Big W, so never expected much, but made few bigger $ purchases fm Big W ie pool etc, = @ Tab got Xmas bonuses x2 lol over $100, under $200, can remember

Hello @MDT!

@Former-Member here my avatar name has changed to make it easier for people.

You just get an Everyday Rewards card through Woolworths and attach it to your online shop or take it with you to scan when you buy your grocery instore.

You build up points and when you get a certain number of points you get $10 off your shop or you can let your points accrue and save it up for something like your xmas grocery.

Good Morning @Former-Member @MDT @Former-Member @Adge @Appleblossom @Sophia1 @Emelia8 @tonys @Glisten @Oaktree @saturnzoon @ENKELI @StanD @Bunniekins @Bill16 @Jacques @Meowmy @StuF @Clawde and Anyone Else Around .. 🙂

..slow day here. have ph appt in bit over an hour. not looking forward to it. oh well. Stupid sleep place. Me and masks not getting along. Feel like its my fault somehow and its all become too hard basket.. Anyway 38 today, 40 next 5 days ha ha and I left Kalgoorlie to come here , had no idea it was hot so often here..oops .. der

@TAB hey tabby, good luck with sleep clinic.

thanks @Meowmy will have to go there to swap masks maybe . see what happens

Hey there @TAB 🌺🙂

Sorry to hear the masks aren’t working out… that’s really unfortunate because it’s kind of like ‘teaching your body to not go to sleep with a mask on’ when the masks continually don’t work - if that makes sense? Like, when I mask wakes you or doesn’t let you sleep, it’s ‘teaching’ your sleep-brain (the bit that lets you fall asleep) to ‘wake up’ over and over, every time you have a mask on that isn’t working well… as opposed to a comfortable and well fitting mask being of little disturbance and your sleep-brain accepting it with relative ease and then going to sleep with it on as if it wasn’t there.
This conundrum is a challenge to overcome, because there’s a new pattern of ‘waking up/becoming alert’ in the sleep-brain that needs to be overcome before the sleep-brain can learn to accept and ignore a comfortable and well fitting mask.
Solutions? They’re elusive: keep trying masks and laying with them on even while feeling alert as soon as you put it on for sometimes a long long time before you finally go to sleep, and repeat this for days and days till you retrain your sleep-brain (but that requires finding the ultimate super awesome fit mask beforehand otherwise it just won’t work); have a break (pending Dr saying it’s ok) and ‘unlearn’ the wake/alert cycle with sleeping without a mask on; or have someone who is really smart investigate all the secondary settings in your device to ensure the highest level of compliance/comfort settings have been applied (I used to work with a wide variety of manufacturers, and these settings are all different across each one - you’ll need a clever sleep person to check them for you). Finally, I remember you’d mentioned that you think daytime breathing is also something to consider..it’s well worth mentioning this to your sleep doctor specialist because if it is confirmed, the nighttime pressurised air delivery system is significantly different than what CPAP/APAP is, and works to support not just with pressure, but with the mechanics of breathing air in and out in a much more active way (there are many different machines, with different degrees of ‘breathing support’).

I hope that’s helpful 🙂🌺
