    I get my 'up top' sports undergarments from Pr*m*rk - they have changed the design to what I initally bought and I'm not quite so sure I like the new style but my most recent purchase was £6 for the 'med impact' one (and I'm not sure I needed anything that secure :rotfl:) could be worth a check out.
    have a feeling not many places will do a 32 c or smaller if Mr T don't unknown.gif
    B'n'M sounds very interesting but I'm gonna have to ask...what on earth is this store? I can't fathom it out (which makes me think we don't have one in this part of 't' country)
    B-and-M Bargains. They're a discount chain. Closest used to mean a special trip out, but they took over the site of our local C00p when that closed so I now have one in easy walking distance (slightly closer than work :))

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:



    Thanks guys, & yes the day definitely did get better :D Seeing as i started early, i managed to get all my jobs done & fit a windowsill & towel rail & sort out the lights that had been hanging from the ceilings for weeks :j
    Meant a bit of a DIY spend, but would have happened some time this month, so i guess today is as good any any :D

    Hope you've had a lovely girlie night Kate?

    Am just debating whether it really is too early for bed & wondering if i can keep my eyes open for MOTD!! (i think i must be getting old!!)

    Had a great night thanks, nice food, nice wine, played on the wii, quality time with my best mates, we've now drank the house dry so time for bed! And at a fraction of the cost of a night in our local :)

    I'm so envious of your DIY skills BDINI :) x
    Trying to jump back onto the moneysaving wagon .... :cool:

    hello everyone

    a huge THANKS to spoon for doing the thread again - it must take a lot of your time and I do really appreciate it - I know i dont post a lot but I 'feel' as if you are keeping an eye on me:p:D:rotfl:

    I loved my frog last month - thank you x

    I have a lot on my plate just now including health things so I really need to keep my mind on not spending - I did a budget the other night and was gob-smacked at what I should have left at the end of the month - I never have anywhere near it so I must be letting it dribble away somewhere - if I could keep to my budget this month Winterval (thank you for finding that word!!!) would be so much easier!!

    good luck to everyone

    BTW I had a NSD yesterday - 1/20

    toots xx

    Hi toots
    Ahh.. thanks:o:o .. I am definitely keeping an eye on you to make sure you're OK.

    Glad you like your frog from last month, hopefully you'll love this month's pumpkin.

    Hope your health issues get sorted soon, thinking about you.

    Take care and hugs
    spoon x

    Good morning everyone -

    Spoon, you're an absolute darlin - lovin the prizes this month, theyre fab! :AThanks for the extra incentive for 6 in a row, I wont let you down!
    Got my first NSD yesterday despite meeting my sis for coffee. She treated me so relief all round! ;) BTW, I wore my chunky waistcoat that I knitted a few months ago. That was it's first outing, and she was well impressed!
    Today I'm staying put, going to do a big stew for dinner in the SC and freeze half for future. Other than that I'm going to sit on my bahooky and finish my book and do my knitting.
    I'm determined to get this month off to a good start NSD-wise!

    Have a lovely day everyone:)


    you will always be rich enough to be generous.
