    Wilkinsons have got certain items at half price- make up brushes, basic small black hairbrushes & combs, fold up mirrors , emery boards & 4 piece manicure sets. Asked when promo ends but they don't know!
    Might be handy if you are making up gift hampers

    Sorry to hear your news. Yes, even when you are expecting the inevitable it is still a shock. Also pleased that your Dad got to see him, in my book that is far far more important to visit the person when alive than going to the funeral.Your Dad was there with him, and for him.
    Take care

    Sorry to hear about your uncle mum2one and hope the bathroom gets fixed ASAP

    Good news on the order Rufus

    Katiehound - Thank you for the heads up

    Angela - got my oh a iPad and an iPhone . He hates mobile phones . He never wanted a touch screen and now he loves them. He had trouble seeing the screen but you can make the writing so big it helped

    Sorry for moaning the other day. Arm is no better. Make doc appointment Monday see if they can help. Don't know what though. Painkillers are out of the question ...

    Haven't been up to much, not much you can do with one hand. I do use both hands to do everything though so not really hindered being ambidextrous

    These are the map shoes I made, plus a pic of the bag for YD. Hoping I can sell the shoes at some time or another, no rush.
