    garnet is jan birthstone (mums birthday is the 30th) jade is a healing stone (mums feeling very poorly at the moment.

    Garnet
    A very positive stone, promoting self-confidence and increasing energy. Is also said to attract love and warn of danger

    Jade is said to be a stone of the heart, strengthening it as well as the kidneys, nervous system and immune system and to promote health in the organs that purify the blood.
    Jade of all types and colors are very protective and particularly strong for children against illness.
    Jade also has very powerful calming vibrations that are beneficial in a great many ways. White jade is extremely calming and can be used for grounding as well as assist in making decisions

    Blimey...........I just liked it because it matched my eyes:rotfl:

    I've only seen the headline, but is it supposed to be a surprise? Why would anyone advertise on tv like that and then pay full value, there's nothing in it for them.

    we got nathans at a charity event in the drs surgery back last year but it wasn't the full set think we paid £5 for 3 x 3 video sets, couldn't afford to buy them new. wonder if theres anywhere we can get the missing ones? i expect they are all sold in sets these days

    Charity shops usually have loads of videos in for next to nothing, there's often box sets and stuff too, so it's worth looking in them.

    That's pants Sally, really hope that's wrong and you are entitled to something. At the very least you need to get their records updated to show that he does have dependants.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.
