    I wear them - I was looking for a blue pair to take on holiday and found some on Amazing for under £40 in the style I like which they seem to be phasing out. I was using my DH's Amazing account and had to stop myself applying for their CC in his name to get a voucher :eek: So they are just sat in the basket for the moment
    Save £12k in 2025 #2 I am at £9586.01 out of £6000 after August (158.45%)
    OS Grocery Challenge in 2025 I am at £2226.88/£3000 or 74.23% of my annual spend so far

    Blimey, I hope that they dont phase mine out.
    If I wear them all the time they only last about a month.

    Morning Beanie :) Hope you're OK. I can't think about ambulance response times too much. Mine had to come from Huddersfield and took nearly an hour to arrive. It's hard to believe not one ambulance was available in Greater Manchester but having watched some of these programmes I can understand it better these day. :( xx
