    Good luck with you homemade goodies stall Rosemary. I am also quite shocked at the bagage costs for Ryanair. I haven't flown with them in three years but what a jump in price.

    thanks for good wishes,yes the Ryan air was a shock to me,think it is because by next year thye will no longer be able to charge you for using a credit card to pay.£70 for bags which only cost £32 with easy jet means it is cheaper to fly ej for me and their website is much better as with ra you have to enter all your details,reject the optional extras etc and it takes ages just to get a price for a flight!
    1 in today,a surprise:)I took a vouvher for the liz earle polish and cloth into Jl but they had none and took the voucher saying they would send one if they had any.I have been told this before and did not expect to get one!....still not used the last one that was free!!!

    I think I might bite the bullet and tonight write up a list of my very large stash, ready for February. I've done quite well this month but I could do even better if I put my mind to it! Once I write my list ill prob discover items I never realised I had!

    ROFL - I had some antibiotics for tonsilitis a few years ago that said one of the side effects was "sore throat" - like I was going to notice! I think it's something to do with them having to "cover all possibilities" on that score! Hope you're one of the 9 in 10 with no side-effects Rosemary and you're feeling better soon!
