I'm afraid I'd also have to take issue with the comment earlier that she had all that land, so can't be short of money - go away, talk to a farmer about what life is really like, and the pressure to hold onto the land to pass onto future generations, and I suspect you'll find out just how far from the truth that is!

I didn't actually comment on her financial status and land

but sorry if i offended anyone, that was just how I saw it.

I watched the superscrimpers programme and wondered who it was aimed at, I think the bit with the family was good and might make people in a similar situation think about what they do, but they the old lady dying tired bras and pants and cutting bits off socks to mend jumpers - I think that would turn me off completely.

Not as good as a Martin Lewis money programme certainly!

I always think 'Martin does this better' when I see these shows.

I agree with you about that, they should decide whether to be 'extreme money saving' or 'reasonable cutting back'.

I think we should all agree to disagree, obviously there is polarised opinions on the topic and this board has been so friendly and welcoming

Anyway I have 2 UU:
S&G Hair Supply, wnba didn't really like it, seemed a bit gunky.
Soft & Gentle aromotherapy deodorant wba but have so much mitchum to use first

Strongly suspecting that this is nail based and crackly!!!

I think you suspect correctly... although I have an admission. I had to go to Maplin just now... And there was a huge B**ts next door which was calling my name and inviting me in. The doors even opened for me as I was 'walking past'...

So I came out with a 342... one youknowwhat and two other somethingsimilars :rotfl::rotfl:Let's say a sphinx and a peacock :rotfl::rotfl:

No, I didn't think it was you who'd done so - hence I kept my reply to you and the other comment apart - apologies Viv, I should probably have clarified that the comment was from someone else - I couldn't remember who it was who'd said it and in any case had no wish to "call anyone out" over it in particular! Not offended at all - nothing wrong with healthy debate (almost typed DEBTate - habit there maybe?!:p) and god forbid this turns into one of those dreadfully pink and fluffy threads where everyone is falling over themselves to spread platitudes and nobody ever dares to disagree! :rotfl: I'd add a *hug* but only have access to the dodgy "group hug" smilie and frankly THAT isn't fit for polite company! :eek:

Charlie - April's thread is VERY OK - well done to you! :T

Thanks EH, I'm glad about that.

Back on topic, a few in's courtesy of Mr T and his dtd:

2 x nivea pearl and beauty deo spray
1x roll on as above
2 x HE volumising shampoo - 400ml
2 x HE volumising conditioner - 400ml:eek:

Didn't cost anything, I hope they pull this thing soon as it's too tempting.

I thought I was bad with four nail polishes this month (although they were No 7 bought with £5 vouchers). :A
But TWENTY!! (faints)

Other recent ins: No 7 green primer (bought with £5 voucher) so only £5. Not sure about this, though it had good reviews on MUA.

And I was very bad in John Lewis yesterday (though it was sort of April, as I had been paid) and bought Liz Earle eye serum as I look a bit corrugated first thing in the morning. As I was paying and having a free scoosh of LE No 1 perfume, I said to the SA that I loved the smell of the skin tonic and it was a pity LE hadn't copied that for the perfume. She said how much she enjoyed spritzing the tonic during the day, to refresh her and her makeup, so I bought one of them as well. :rotfl:Off to have a spritz right now!

My kind of logic, though I don't spend "real money" on toiletries. Well, not this year.

Re the Lady landowner's nettle pasta, I thought they were saying 'pesto' initially and I thought, yeah, you could do that ... and you can.

I think we are all agreed that the nettle pasta looked, and probably was, foul.
