    Cally - do you live by the coast?

    It was either

    1) They are anglers tryig to make a profit - phone the local MCA and report them, its illegal.

    2) Local fishermen trying to get rid of over quota fish

    3) Local fishermen trying to get a better price than the auction house.

    I don't buy fish, so don't know the exact prices, but they only get £2.20 per kilo for cod at the market (equivilent of £1/lb) and I m pretty sure that it is a lot more to buy from the supermarket. Oh, and 10% commission is taken off that price!

    I have been known to do that before, only I am gining it away for want of freezer space :rotfl:

    Don't live anywhere near the coast whatsoever, nearest harbour is about 90mins drive away.

    Am reporting it to local police

    £32!!!!!!! ouch-the best moisturiser I found that doesnt annoy me (I have Eczema) is the cheap Lidls day cream! which is odd coz even E45 cream makes me itch.

    Think i've managed to update my site with the 25% offer, just need to put a bit at the top of the seren page itself but cant seem to make it show up whatever i do...one for the webpperson methinks!

    i bet theres a n even cheaper alternative that would be fine for your skin

    if not buy in bulk then you dont have to buy it so often

    Probably but I seem to spend a fortune buying ones to try :rotfl:
    I managed to nab this one of my auntie though so no spend involved.
    Well the 15ml is £23 and 50ml is £32, on 3 for 2. Can I really spend £64 of face cream?:eek:

    Never mind. mothers day soon, ill start hinting to the OH now.

    Well its still snowing!

    College has been cancelled tonight, really peeved cos Ive been running about trying to get my essay sorted before 6 :mad: but need the night off!

    OT - Finally found a moisturiser that doesnt irritate my skin, brilliant except its £32 for 50ml:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    Aqueous Cream from Boots is good as well, not sure on price but 99% sure it was less than £10 for a HUGE tub. I had to ask at the pharmacy bit for it.

    Tried it, works fine on the baby, brings me out in a horrible itchy rash. Also got a bit freaked when I read about all the nasties in it.
  • nikki - I have stupidly dry skin too especially in the winter, best cream I have found is Avon Intesive moisture was on offer for £1.50 for 50ml is better than decleor ad molton brown!

    nikki - http://www.boots.com/en/Boots-Skin-Therapy-Aqueous-Cream-500ml_863650/ - The one I've got (is different from this link) just says Aqueous Cream B.P. so I think it's one you cant buy online
