    On mys this morning I've got 57 items, the new list being all Blue Dragon, buy 2 get 50p - pit we are lacking in any MOCS for Blue Dragon.
    not had a look yet but I expect these Are mostly items more or less price matched in all supermarkets so no use for comparison shops either ...

  • Lou - I'd also suggest Debenhams sale racks like Logie, always really good for this time of year.
    If she was a size 12, she could have an old dress of my sisters that's hung in my "dress" wardrobe :rotfl: Yes, i have a wardrobe specifically for dresses :D (i say old, but it was only worn once as her bridesmaid dress. beige/cream, satin, strapless, a line). Depends how good you are at tailoring and taking in...

    Never done this myself as only got boys and they were quite simple to sort out, but a friend of mine had one made off EBay a couple of years ago, chose the design, sent off sizes etc and it was perfect, they did it well in advance so if there was a problem they could sort it out. I think it came from Hong Kong.



    thanks was look at some like that :) just need some reassurance :)

    I think that if an elderly relative goes into care/home, they can go back and check banks up to 7 years. If your relative adds your name to the deeds/gives large amount of cash within that time, then it can still be considered part of their estate (and therefore can pay for their care). Bit of a minefield really.

    One thing you can do to reduce savings legally is to buy a pre-paid funeral plan (sorry if it's a bit morbid but it's a cost that will have to be paid at some point and it means that the government gets a bit less)

    That's a really good idea..Didn't know you could do that.

    Right, off to drink a gallon of water - I'm on a fast day again today. All the yummy M&S food in my fridge is making me think it's Xmas and im slipping into over-indulging again :D Lunch today will be pineapple, grapes and cherries :rotfl:

    Looked in at both Mr T's in Dumfries last night Extra had lots of DVD's CD's quite a bit of Christmas gift & sweets plus 6 of the big green boxes from the veg section with various reduced things (looked more like a jumble sale ) the normal store had lots of DVD's CD's1/2 an isle of Christmas gift & sweets including toiletries . resisted temptation to buy just for the sake of buying did get a couple of sweets but trying to get back to healthy eating. Picked up a few new magazines for the fresh & naked vouchers .
