The hotel star ratings in Turkey are a joke. We`ve visited Turkey many times and tried different hotels with different star ratings, some were dire, some not so dire and just a few were good. We haven`t been back for around 3 years but friends say this year it`s become very expensive and locals...

You`ll have to be quick if you want a pair but a site I regularly use are selling Joules wellies (a discontinued pattern) for £12 rrp price around £50. It`s free delivery on orders over £50 but even with p and p the wellies are a bargain. They buy discontinued stock from well known brands and...

Talking of laundry I recently tried Tallow and Ash laundry products. They smell totally divine and are called Laundry Shampoo and conditioner. It`s a new brand and has only been around for a few months. Even Mr V commented how nice the towels smelled. Their stuff isn`t cheap and its non bio...

In the town Poundbury which Prince (now King) Charles had a hand in developing, hanging out washing is totally banned. No clothes lines permitted and no hanging anything outside. One tenant was even told she had too many plants and hanging baskets outside her house and was asked to remove them...

My granddaughters are 15 and 17 so I`m contemplating hanging onto the necklace for a while in the hope one or both of the girls will have milestones when they may (or may not) want to wear them. Graduation days, 21st birthdays, wedding days etc. I think I`ll ask my oldest son who`se their Dad...

I must admit my DIL bought me an Oodie one year for Christmas and I thought it the ugliest piece of clothing I`d ever seen but accepted it with good grace. I have to say its been a godsend and even though I won`t go past the front gate in it, in Winter I rarely have it off my back in the house...

I`ve never been impressed with QVC pearls, even when they were Honora or any other brands they`ve sold over the years. They were either a poor quality or overpriced or both. The Lara ones fit into both categories in my opinion. I actually had a kind of disagreement with someone who actually...

I think deportment in general has all but disappeared. Girls and women often sit with their legs akimbo, mooch around with hands in pockets and clothes hanging off their shoulders, shuffle not walk because they`re busy eyeballing their mobile phone, hunching themselves to the point some never...

Did anybody watch the recent BBC programme "Chanel Unbuttoned" ? Obviously it was about Chanel, her life, her lovers and her business but during the programme they interviewed several of her ex models who are now old ladies. Even as elderly ladies most of them exuded their own style and way of...

Oh yes Andi their soap is lovely and so is their liquid soap. I tend to wait until they have their post Christmas sale then stock up. I love the Au Lait liquid soap and bar soap.

Mr V loves bar soap and his favourite is Turkish soap, the type they use in the Turkish baths and which lathers really quickly and makes your skin feel really soft. It`s an ugly looking soap, a muddy brownish green colour and frequently in great big blocks. We haven`t visited Turkey for 3 years...

I see the £25 discovery box with 2x 10ml perfumes, 2 samples, 2 handcreams is on sale again. https://www.shayandblue.com/apps/bundles/bundle/125816

I`m from Lancashire and I love builders tea, as does Mr V. He`s an ex miner and there were no kettles, taps (or anything else) 2 miles underground and the heat was so unbearable many of the face workers would work in just their underwear, hard hat and lamp and their boots. Many of them became...

I agree May. The ring in the photo I posted was made from a wedding ring, engagement ring and eternity ring had which belonged to the deceased Mother of the customer. This is what they looked like before remodelling.

I must admit I love jewellery and the more original the better. I recently bought a necklace and custom made earrings from the link below. Anna is entirely eco friendly, her specially built studio is built to a high eco friendly standard with even a compost loo let alone solar panels and...

I buy regularly from this brand as Christmas gifts and usually at this time of year when they have a really good sale. This angel wing pendant is sterling silver and in the sale reduced from £30 to £12. They do sterling silver, rose gold and gold plated sterling silver plus also costume...

Sorry I`m only just posting this but Henryka are giving 40% discount on items (excludes sale items) until 9pm tonight. I`ve been busy all day so have only just checked my emails. They do some nice things and there`s a choice of chain lengths on pendants. The discount code is 40TODAY applied at...

Called into Matalan today for a gift card for someone who buys their stuff from there. It was like a feeding frenzy, most of their stock in a 50% sale. They`ve already begun stocking their Autumn/Winter styles. I can`t be doing with fighting through rails or queuing for fitting rooms so I didn`t...

I have an account with Shein uk and this is their return system. It seems pretty straight forward and no custom charges etc. I`ve only had a couple of items from them, the clutch bag I mentioned and a pair of espadrilles, both 100% fine. Both arrived within a few days and delivered by Evri...

Not Lulu Guinness but far more affordable are some look a likeys from Shein. Don`t knock em til you`ve tried them ! I saw a clutch bag in a shop in Cadiz when we docked there on our cruise in April. I regretted not buying it and it was around 31 euros. I found the exact same bag on Shein and it...
