    Afternoon peeps. :)

    Dove minis back in stoch in SD.

    Just managed to get my first lot. :eek:

    so close - it would only let me put one in my basket :mad:

    Mind you it would have ruined my efforts to not buy toiletries this month ....

  • Talking of which,has anyone that has flown with the minis had to put them into an airport bag or are they accepted as is please?

    I noticed they have started to appear back in store. I was restrained when I did spot some.

    When I sorted the glory hole out I got out 2 No7 gift sets, bathing and makeup and a M&S beauty box that was a free gift couple years ago. The No7 came back from my mums. :eek: They are sat in a pile in my bedroom now, I was determined to use them up, but they have sat there 2 weeks now. :o

    So maybe I should join you LEJC, in trying.

    Not been able to eat anything yet today, I was too late for breakfast before my dentist appointment. :o

    And he said wait a good two hours or more before having anything to eat. :eek:

    Teeth feel really weird having had nine worked on...there was no drilling, it is just preventative because of the gum erosion I have caused due to brushing to hard etc.

    I've gone back to using my electric toothbrush, I had run out of replacement heads, but often don't resist buying cheap RTC normal toothbrushes when I see them. Something I must stop myself from doing as then I feel I should use them up. :eek:

    This may be similar -Sky are putting prices up on some legacy tv packages and various other services which may give a get out opportunity.

    Chance to cancel SKY broadband contract early. 30 day window starting today
    http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/chance-cancel-sky-broadband-contract-early-30-day-window-starting-today-2610097 (From the app)

    Also it looks like they are losing Discovery channels in a fee dispute, which some people have apparently used to renegotiate a new deal or cancellation:

    Probably a small window to exploit (even if you want to stay, a chance for a new cheaper deal:)).

    Thank you for all your kind words and support. I was diagnosed a few months ago, but unfortunately my cancer had already spread to my lymph nodes and metastasised to my bones. So too late for surgery or to "cure"
    Thank you all again :wave:

    So sorry, Jeremiah. I hope you are making the most of things now.

    That's when my large collection of hotel toiletries went the way of the dodo too. :)

    I gave mine to the shoebox appeal.
