I love a brooch and have collected quite a few in recent years. My first ever brooch was passed onto me by my Dad after my Mum passed away in 1987 and sadly it is one I`ve never worn (yet) because it`s too heavy for most modern fabrics. It a large cameo in a gold surround and with a safety...

My oldest son and DIL were on his morning programme several years ago. My son didn`t take to Schofield at all but said Holly was lovely. One of the other guests was Alan Tichmarsh who ignored everybody and acted like a complete arse until he was in front of the camera and then he morphed as if...

I wouldn`t thank anybody for a box of fancy chocs, especially booze filled ones yuk. I like cheap n cheerful Galaxy, Maltesers, Cadbury buttons and the inner child of me just loves Smarties. I quite like mint creams (dark chocolate) and I love chocolate coated brazil nuts but my teeth don`t so I...

The longest lasting perfumes ( on me ) are the concentrated perfume oils from the likes of Swiss arabian. They come in small very pretty bottles with a dabber and you smooth the oil onto your pulse points. They`re halal so they don`t contain alcohol or other additives and that means they`re...

* I forgot to add they are the large 2 wick ones

I haven`t bought a Yankee candle in years but notice Home Bargains are selling what`s called the elevation collection for £9.99 each. https://www.homebargains.co.uk/search.aspx?searchterms=yankee

I`ve had a few things from this site. Everything is made here in the UK and its free delivery too. They have a discount code at the moment for 10% off which is OCT22 and valid until November 3rd. https://www.gloverandsmith.co.uk/

It`s £113 for the tsv which is a small crossbody but if you look on the Paul Costelloe website in the outlet section there`s some lovely bags for much less money. I bought several Christmas gifts from the outlet section last year and all were lovely. Worth a browse if anybody is interested in...

I had my flu *** last week and it knocked me off colour for a couple of days. I was aching and had a bad headache but taking paracetamol helped. Us over 65`s get a different vaccine than under 65`s so the nurse told me but I`ve no idea why or what the difference is ? I had my covid booster this...

Yep I`ve seen the OODIE ads too and I have a similar item which my DIL bought for me a couple of years ago. It makes me look huge because it`s so big but I must admit it`s very warm and comfortable. I don`t wear it whilst sitting watching TV etc (its too bulky for me to sit around in) but it`s...

So sorry you`ve had such a traumatic and terrible time lately and so sorry for your loss. You need to be kind to yourself now and take time to heal. My late sister passed away from cancer just over 3 years ago and we`d all watched her deteriorate but losing her was still a shock but an even...

I think it`s horrible and for that price I`d want a coat not a cardi and something which actually fastens. That pattern look like it should be covering a sofa not a person !

Like most of us on here there`s nothing I need nor particularly hanker for. My 3 sons and their partners all have mortgages and need their cars to get to work plus all the other cost of living expenses and I tell them every year to buy us nothing. I know they`ll totally ignore that and I wish...

I like Sukin products and have used them off and on for a long time. I like their sensitive skin moisturiser best.

Mr V got a text asking him to ring to book his covid booster. I rang on his behalf and they`ve booked me in too. We both go next Monday to the local hospital who have a pop up place in their carpark for vaccinations. Mr V has had his flu *** earlier this month but I`m still waiting for the GP...

When I married Mr V I never changed my name. I still use my married name from my first late husband. I was married to him for 32 years, have been married to Mr V for 11 years and if me and Mr V last another 21 years and reach 32 years married then I`ll change it to his. Mind you by then he`ll be...

My nephew went to Uni in Edinburgh and housing was really really expensive. He ended up sharing a small flat with 2 others and his bed was literally a wooden plinth topped with a mattress and built into an alcove. The cost of the flat even with 3 of them sharing, was downright ridiculous and...

People can have such dark humour at the most painful of times. I read an article where a young woman in her 30`s was terminally ill and knew she was dying. Unknown to her family she arranged that on the day of her funeral a light aircraft would fly over the Church towing a banner which said "...

As my first late hubby used to say when people were trying to be funny but failing, Dale and Andi are about as funny as a smacked arse !

I sometimes get contact dermatitis flare ups on my hands, usually caused by a change of cleaning product or shampoo or anything my hands might come into contact with. It means for weeks, sometimes for months, I don`t wear my wedding ring or any other ring. I`ve lost count of the number of people...
