    A very good review there VT, and I agree with your feelings about MF mattresses, cant give an opinion on a sprung one, as not tried one. I have a hotel that I used to always stay at, and had to change hotels when they got MF mattresses in.

    :p

    (That was all I wanted to put, but wouldn't let me.)
    And, after you've read, you'll have to read it again to see the bit I've changed. Not intended that way:o - as I'm importing some of the Morries info. bit by bit (of a selection of what I expect more strongly to still be on tomorrow - probably be completely wrong though!:rotfl:).

    Yeah, I saw that, bless him. I saw his interview a month or so ago. RIP

    Very sad Zag :( and even sadder that he won't be around to see his last novel go on sale. A truly remarkable author and a great loss. Im not a huge fiction fan but have read a great deal of his work.....because I loved the 'Scottishness' about it

    Yep. A classmate of mine read it for the audiobook. He's written great stuff. Must make sure I read more. His SF was perfect and his ordinary novels were first-class. Sadly some cancers claim you quick.:(

    I've just popped in, been catching up on DDs netbook not as easy as on laptop. :(

    I just want to say before I go had the pleasure of spending couple of hours with Truffle Hunter this morning. Sat out in the sunshine and guess who forgot her sunglasses and sunscreen. I now have a rather red nose. :o

    TH's DS was such a darling, took a couple of those filled pencil cases from a while back Cars and Toy Story, thank goodness the pens still worked and loved the fact he called the ruler a tape measure. ;)

    TH was so kind and gave me couple of books from O2 priority moments as both her and her OH are on O2 and I'm not lucky enough to have a smart phone. :T Big thanks TH. :)

    Have been ploughing through some unpacking after DD2s return today, lots of glitched food has returned uneaten. :eek:

    Very tired Tinyshoes here, after a very busy day. So goodnight all, hoping for more sunshine tomorrow and will remember the sunscreen this time, I'm sure my itchy nose will remind me. ;)

    It was lovely seeing tinyshoes and getting to know more about her and her family together with hearing TS inspiring shop experiences! (I have so much to learn from TS and others of the elite!:))

    My little one loves the pen sets and told hubby that a lovely lady gave him those :T

    Hope TS you soon lose your rudolph nose! x

    Back again. Lol:rotfl::rotfl:- my carryover predictions list not short at all as I'd promised but long instead!

    I had to do it comprehensively didn't I, moving most of the M list bit by bit (I didn't realise just how lo-ooonng it was now)? Watch them put up the price on the equivalent to S/P range now:rotfl:.

    I've now reminded myself of my own reminder in my sig. (for now, perhaps - after you check MSM:rotfl:- use the 'also vs T' ones to see what compares vs M - or the 'also vs S' ones instead for same reason). The carryover predictions though pretty pointless as I'm only going to have to move the whole list and delete the expired ones from that again later on in the week anyway:o:o.

    Alright, be that as it may, to everyone I'll say proper goodnight:):):wave:. Except for fairclaire, to whom I'll say :p.

    (But she knows it's meant with good intent - it's a gesture meaning a compliment on the planet I'm from.)

    Oh, good morning!:rotfl::rotfl::) fairclaire: :p:p:p:p:p:p:p!!!!:rotfl::rotfl::D:A
