    Decisions, decisions. Do I switch to BG as part of the MSE collective switch, knowing it will allegedly cost £50 more for the year than my current deal (minus £30 cashback, so £20 more for the year) .. but knowing my current BG fix (again MSE) ends in February, which it suggests will cost me another £27 per month from then on if I cannot get another cheap deal. MSE say prices are rising. We have to decide today ... what have others done please?

    Many thanks

    I switched.

    Anyone had any experience selling Tresemme and Impulse at car boot sales? What would they sell for?

    TIA

    Bodysprays were the first thing that sold when I did a car boot the other week. There was a couple of impulse amongst them. I was only asking 50p each and someone bought them all. Think they may well have sold for more. HTHs.

    I didn't sell any shampoo as I was only getting rid of stuff my DDs no longer wanted or used. :cool: But the other toiletries I was selling did seem popular.

    Just catching up on X-Factor ....what a joke .....Sharon looks better now then when she was 20 .....am jealous ....of course I am ....if I had her money I too would spend it all on my face ...as she has ....

    Robbie Williams laughing at Honey B at least he wasn't trying to be straight faced like Sharon and trying to say she had a talent .....

    Louis and Sharon have two joke acts .......I see Simon the shirt hasn't got any joke acts in his choices ......

    Hi, hope you dad is OK snap.

    We had a phone call Saturday night well Sunday morning 12.15 to tell us that mil was being took to hospital with suspected mini stroke.
    Nearest hospital A&E closes at 10pm I think so had to take her to a hospital over 20 miles from where she was.
    And guess what, they did nothing, said nothing could be done as she was already on medication for strokes, and sent her back to the home where she had been for the last 8-9 months.
    As far as strokes go, I think this was more than a mini stroke, right side of face dropped, right arm just very limp, but got some use in it, could only really say yes or no yesterday but that's slightly better today. But the confusion is no better. Really sad to see.

    I'm not joining in on the October thing cause I know it's just impossible for us right now.
    Back in September (16th) my eldest dd had a house fire, luckily no one was in, just the dogs but they weren't hurt, and the fire was caught early so not much damage only the cooker, so for 3-4 days a week my cooking for 3 of us jumps to 8 :eek::eek:

    She struggling with her money too as all her tax credits for her child care has been stopped, due to the new company that took over.
    But she has had a letter of apology and said it is being sorted ASAP.

    Opps sorry to waffle
    fernie, you are not waffling, you are sharing. Hope things get better soon for her. x

    Call me cynical but.......isn't this programme choreographed to secure high ratings, create a frenzy of feigned indignation and fill the front pages of the tabloids with salacious gossip about people I have no desire to ever meet.


    Or maybe I'm getting it mixed up with Countryfile:rotfl::rotfl:
