Many thanks FC and SS for the info.

I was going to order 5 but I think I'll hold off. Idea was to order some and not to order again.



Won't do it if it's a family business.

Your mother sounds like my mother's twin sister tweets! Does your mother also think she is perfect and that everyone else (especially her dd) is in the wrong? Mine does! Think Hyacinth Bucket crossed with Cruella deVille and that's my mother!

She thinks that everyone (especially her daughters) should all do everything in exactly the same way as she does and anyone who does anything differently, or who prioritises things differently, is fair game for her sarcastic comments. From how to dust to how to dress, mother always knows best and woe betide any dd of hers who thinks differently!

Even as an adult (and married mum to three lovely children of my own) I tried desperately to please her and felt so hurt when she kept making sarky comments all the time. She was always good at finding my achilles heel too, saying things about my size... something along the lines of, "I see you haven't managed to lose any weight then." I usually bit my tongue because if I said anything she would respond with, "Can't you take a joke?" and pretend she didn't mean to be hurtful.

However, one day I smiled sweetly and said, "Yes, I'm fat and happy with a husband who loves me. Being thin doesn't necessarily make people happy you know" (said looking pointedly at her, who is size 10 misery-guts)!

She's still sarky when we meet but hasn't mentioned my size again since! :j:j:j I've finally learned that it's a complete waste of time trying to please her because whatever I did would not be good enough for her. As she's aged (now almost 80) she has become an increasingly bitter and twisted old lady and I've actually started to pity her.

Nowadays, if she criticises my clothes I just laugh and tell her how comfortable they are and/or how sexy my husband finds my baggy old jumper. That soon shuts her up! If she criticises my cleaning, I agree and say, "I'm too busy having fun to clean Mum. Maybe I'll get better at it when I have time to be bored." :rotfl::rotfl:

Once she realised that I would give as good as I got (very politely and with a big smile plastered on my face) she cut down on the sarky comments although, I have to admit, she still tries it on regularly!

That's my mum . She thinks its :eek: because I don't iron my undies , socks and bedding . What she doesn't know is I cant remember last time I used the iron Probably when DS lived here.

Years ago she gave up telling me to wear dresses , skirts because I ignored her . Last time I wore a dress was for my sons graduation time before that I cant remember.

I am a legging , trousers girl and no one will make me change what clothes I wear lol and for heels on shoes you can forget them I would break my neck

Has anyone else had a phonecall? I used my auto fill function so I don't even know if I put my phone number in?
I saw the offer of a free sample on another website, so I can remove the link but that's not going to stop it being posted elsewhere.

What do people think?

Hi bex
I couldn't see it to add it to my today's c&c.
Thanks for letting me know, I will have a better look xx

That's a shame. If you have another store relatively local it could be worth a click and collect. At least then you know that they have them / should have them stocked. With the apg and substitute possibilities at least it won't be a wasted trip. You could always add a note in the substitute box for a sub option too. X
