    Huge congratulations on the weight loss!  That's amazing.

    Sorry to hear about the key.  I agree it doesn't seem right that you've had to pay for it.

    The way you’re going you’ll get the stone. I was doing well until today when my friend dragged me out kicking and screaming………honest 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 NOT.
    Beanie you’re a bad influence i toddled over to my favourite Cornish clothes shop that you saw the gingham top in and very nearly succumbed to some tops…..then I saw sense. I’ll keep my eye on them though and hopefully they’ll be in a sale. Was it the turquoise top you liked?

    I always look at the eBay shop before I buy anything. A couple of years ago saved myself £30 on a Joules bag.

    That depends - on both the kind of underwear you're considering and the current available options!
