    A new purse is very brave. Mine was on it's last legs and my Mum bought me a gorgeous Dents one with funky pink lining, but I was so used to the old one I made it last another year or more, and I still miss it now!

    I think it would be an understatement to call me a creature of habit :rotfl: No wonder I am stressed of Devon!

    I hope you enjoy yours Splodz :D

    I saw a cute one yesterday in Accessorize - my friend told me off last night coz I didn't buy it so I went today and did as I was told! I'm not attached to anything like that I don't think... but I do like treating myself nice things as often as I can afford it! :)

  • I took on Coke Zone and won; despite them being rather pants in terms of service, I got my points refunded so I'm happy. :D
  • Chris, I am glad your Dad had the send off he deserved and hope he was looking down from heaven with a smile. And a new life too - wonderful! It is early days and grief is a funny thing, if you need us you know where we are so just yell.

    Splodz, it always strikes me about your posts, you really do live life to the fullest. There is many a time I am filled with admiration and wish I could live a little more by your philosophy. You are a pleasure :)
    But there are dreams that cannot be,and there are storms we cannot weather!

    I don't find my private dentist actually that more expensive for the run of the mill stuff, maybe it is for root canal work, not sure! It's the same here, impossible to find an NHS dentist so we've had to go private. I think I pay something like £35 for a check up.

    too many comps..not enough time!
