    I just wanted to say thank you so much to all you old stylers. I have only recently discovered this board and it has helped improve life at my house so much. I have just finished cleaning everything with stardrops and microfibre cloths and I have been using loads of recipes and countless other tips.
    Thanks doesnt really cover it but this board has been an inspiration!!

    Why buy Premuin Bonds you would be better putting the cash into an Isa and adding to it as you have a little spare cash, that way you will get some interest on your money rather than letting it sit there in the hope that you might win a million, believe me we have had some Premium Bonds in forever and have not won a cent!!!!!

    Thank you all for all your kind thoughts and good wishes for me tonight. I have not had the greatest day in my life as those on the OS 24th May thread will know.
    My oldest and best friend died this morning of cancer, and I have been shell-shocked since I found out .She was not famous or rich ,just an ordinary Mum of two daughters and three grandchildren.She was looking forward to retiring next year with her husband and growing old together .Sadly that evil disease cancer beat her to it.
    We met at an ante-natal clinic in the mid 1960s, and had been friends ever since. I was god-mother to her kids, and she was to mine. We shared all the ups and downs of life, marriages and christenings, and our kids getting married, their kids getting christened. I shall miss her greatly.
    I have had some lovely messages of support from folk on this site, and I do appreciate it.
    Tonight if you do nothing else go and give your loved ones a cuddle and tell them you love them as one day they may not have that tomorrow
    R.I.P. Carol, a great friend and a good Mum to her family
