    RIP Savvy Sal
    You will be missed, my condolences to all who loved her.
  • Sad news re Savvy Sal.
    Sally died yesterday at 7pm in Martlets Hospice after her battle with cancer. She had been so very brave and had made it very clear she wanted to go - we will miss her dreadfully.
    A few weeks ago she asked me to let you all know when she died as this thread has been a huge part of her life for years. A fantastic hobby that kept her mind active, her body fit with walking, and her bank balance healthy. She hasn’t spent a penny on groceries etc for 5 years and has left us with enough tins, jars, toiletries etc to last for months.
    She truly valued the friendships she made on here,and although she found talking difficult, just about her last words to me were “Anything on the thread this morning” !
    Best wishes to you all

    So so sorry for your loss, I've said it before and I'll say it again f##k you cancer.
    I'm heart broken for you. She certainly was an expert elite xxx

    What sad news..do you know it must be almost a year to the day when Sal posted a pic of her on her grandsons hover board- that memory has stayed with me, and im sure many of her elite family have fond memories to share/remember:)
    My heartfelt condolences go to you and her family at this sad time, but her legacy of her glitchy toiletries and stashes lives on..and her thoughts were also here with the elite until the last which is so warming but also so sad..:A
    As her sister you have have a special place here with Sallys extended family so please pop in at anytime :) x
