    Why does MSE call it "boosting"...

    Seems to be a new one this year doesn't it. :eek:

    I think few of us have called it Bootsing before. :rotfl:

    DD keeps a little wicker basket downstairs with wipes and nappies in it together with a spare changing mat as its not always possible to run upstairs to change them. By the way do you know that Aldi sell the cheapest and best nappies. 4.8p each for nappies.

    Another Mamia convert here. The nappies are excellent, far better than the 'leading' brands for fit, absorbency, leakage etc. Thank goodness that Dotty isn't here. He would have turned that comment around. :eek:

    Well before I packed them away Mr TS found the shower gel sets I got from Wilko last week, and he couldn't believe that for the size of them and the nice packaging they were only 75p. :D

    Following with interest. DS2 needs a new car now he is driving to work and can't borrow his brother's car forever.

    He seems keen on a hyundai i20 at the moment, but that could change.

    These seem to lose their value very quickly. Ok if he wants to keep it long term.
