Monnagran, hope this helps... I'm allergic to latex too but I bought a pack of I think 7 full briefs for £12 in M&S (own brand) a few weeks ago, and they are fine. Weird that they started using latex in their more expensive ones!

Commando? Well only if it includes stockings & heels!
But at least you won't itch if you go commando. This reminds me of a wedding reception hubby & I went to a while ago, it was held in a football club, once the guests were all slightly the worse for wear, the male guests dropped their trousers & had a race round the pitch. Having heard stories about the bridegroom I managed to get to him just in time to remind him that his MIL probably didn't want to see his wedding tackle blowing in the breeze & so he ran the race with his keks on!

Evening all (said in a copper's voice)

'Scuse me for being behind with posts. Have been skim reading but all can remember are knickers and bunnies! Sorry no advice on the pantaloons front but my boys saw the bunny pics and we all sat there and oooed and aaared. I want one for Mother's Day but DS8 made me laugh when he said "but mum, stripey cat* would eat it, look at him sniffing at the screen"

* some names have been changed to protect cat identities.

Been a funny few days - got some stuff done that needing doing but had to let a few things slide, not been feeling 100% brill, nothing much though. Still haven't gone CS shopping, that pleasure is still to come.

Went to some other shops though today, one is a big store closing down (the branch not the whole outfit) and DS8 has £5 on a gift voucher. I tried in vain to spend it but found nothing remotely suitable. Asked an assistant for suggestions but all she could say was, it doesn't matter the gift card is valid in another huge shopping centre which I never go to (well once about every 5 years) or a smaller shopping mall a 30 min drive plus parking cost. Why would I go all that way to spend a fiver I said? The assistant couldn't believe that I never go shopping to these places. I don't like big shopping centres and don't buy anything much other than food and everyday essentials. Nearly everything is stuff we need rather than want and nearly everything is bought by shopping around/second hand etc. it made me realise how different my attitude to spending is now and how in a minority I can be. I wonder how folks on an average income like us and those on lower incomes still manage to go on spending sprees in this economic climate? Well actually I know the answer...

I have been thinking about all the good habits we have got into OS and MSE related and then thinking what can we do better? I have been doing so much thinking re future career (which is great I know) but also need to do some brainstorming re our budgets. Feel like I have to up the game continously otherwise it will catch up with us and we will be boogered then. Mostly I don't mind, its ingrained but occasionally it would be nice to not have to try so blooming hard!

I nearly always wear trousers- going commando in jeans with a thickly machined seam is not pleasant. This is from distant memory, you understand...

A heads up for Primarni's Sloggi - style briefs at £5.50 for 3 pairs. These refuse to wear out, hence my extensive collection acquired over several years.
Unno briefs are the same and significantly cheaper than Sloggis.

It's even funnier as kamikaze is "divine wind" in Japanese....

:smileyhea I wanna fluffy baby bunny to cuddle right now.

Possession, If well looked after, those bunnies could be around for a long time:)(mine own was around for approx 9 years and was virtually house trained and used to come into the lounge and stretch out in ront of the open fire...)and if you gestured she jump up onto your lap to be cuddled, stroked or just sit there.

And most are well natured and take on the attitude of the family and are rarely aggressive.

Love the names too...

I can understand not travelling to shop SQ especially if it is for the fact it will cost much more in petrol and income is limited in the first place, it kind of cancels out the reason for having the gift voucher.

If I get my bus pass(and it is cheap or free)that may just give me a reason to see more than the few shops on my town, I won't have more money top spen but it may mean when I do buy food I can find a different selection of offers or items reduced.

And if I want I could go every day until I find something worth having. A couple of neighbouring towns have six Supermarkets, M&S, two freezer shops and five shops on the lines of Poundland/Pound World...

But when you have to run a car or pay bus/taxi fares that usually kills off any benefits of going off the town.

Even though I have use of jalopy I find myself waiting for a weekend so DH can drop me off/take me shopping so we use his works cars/petrol (he's taxed so all above board) I can get on his works insurance to drive it, which would be handy, but its huge and has a button for a handbreak and I'm petrified.

Tesco is near the school so I find myself in there if i need something as I'm passing but wonder about savings if I did a trip further afield. I can get Boudicca out and walk 2 miles into town but I haven't yet (blush) pretty cross at myself as I used to walk 6 miles in total to get me meat where I used to live. See how cars make you lazy, tight with money or not!

Drat, my conscience is telling me to do it on Monday (hope it rains)
