Have listed a few more vinteds, had another sale.
Have also had a cry exchanging (nice) messages with ex husband's sister about where the final resting place for his ashes should be. Did not think I would ever be discussing this. None of us know how long we have left but I will never stop being in a state of shock that I outlived him. Absolute madness. So glad he knew he was loved and knew he had people who would always be there for him in his life. Bloody miss him though.
Hope everyone is eating the good dinners and drinking the good wine xhttps://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6466032/an-in-between-phase

How many words does the review need to be? I was once a guest reviewer for a magazine and wrote a few reviews for items I had been sent but haven’t actually tried. At the time I didn’t drink and hardly ate anything with sugar in so I just made up the reviews. I bet I could do the same for the gin 🤣🤣.PS yes it probably is/was unethical but I reasoned I wasn’t paid for the reviews other than the samples and mostly I was very honest. Today I still buy a make up remover I reviewed 😀Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!0 -
Ha thanks @Watty1, all good though, I could write a long enough review just on how pretty it is, I'm mesmerised! Free samples and comp wins definitely make for loyal buyers who might not have come across the product elsewhere. I'm soon to get a belated birthday present of a perfume that will be my autumn perfume, that I got a little free sample of and never would have found otherwisehttps://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6466032/an-in-between-phase

Can you appeal the penalty notice? (I appreciate you really don’t need this extra admin task …!)
Hope the visit is fun 😊❤️

We have the receipt for payment on the date @KajiKita so will absolutely be appealing but as you say, we really don't need the extra admin or stress in our lives! Extra frustrating as at the time TfL's app to pay/register was sh*te and kept crashing and caused way more wasted time and stress than it should have, such a cheek to then skank fare payers money to send post to god knows how many people when it's TfL in the wrong. Grr!https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6466032/an-in-between-phase
