I recall buying Marks stuff under the St Michael`s name they put on their products but (sadly) times have changed. People want more clothes than ever before, disposable fashion, cheap to buy and to move with the trends. Compared to years ago the cost of clothing takes just a small part of...

Our local Clarks shop is still open but the last Clarks item I bought was from the online outlet. I logged onto the Next VIP sale yesterday and managed to get some lovely Lotus leather sandals for £20. I don`t need them for this Summer but I`ll save them for next year. It was too good to miss...

This is the other

I can`t remember the last time I bought any dresses from Marks mainly because they were all so frumpy and dreadful ditsy florals. This year I`ve actually bought 2 and love them both. We were on a cruise in April and we`re on holiday again in October so I will have had some wear out of them this...

WB and It`s good to see you.

The colours and patterns are wishy washy and totally uninspiring. I love brighter colours and if I want to wear a patterned dress then it has to be something more interesting than daisies which along with ditsy florals have been done to death. I actually don`t mind the style or even the slits...

If anybody is a lover of seasalt, Alice Collins, Joules plus other brands then a small farm shop which also has a website do some really good sales throughout the year. They don`t have a sale at the moment but if you like their brands then it pays to bookmark them and join their newsletters etc...

Crikey Catz as my Mother would have said " You don`t do nowt by halves !". Here`s hoping you soon improve and things get easier. Take good care of yourself.

I dont stay loyal to any brand for bodywash/shower gel and as someone said earlier they all end up down the plug hole. Having said that I have to be careful whatever I use doesn`t make me itch ( SBC bodywash drove me mad with itching !) but over time I`ve found several brands which I can use...

I havent`t tried this cream for myself but I use their Frankincense face cream and really like it. I`ve also used many other of their products too. The Marine cream is £24 for 60ml and free delivery. It might be worth a try especially as you like the Elemis marine cream but as I said, I haven`t...

I`ve had reactions to several cleaning/washing up products so when my hands flare up I use this in the link below. No nasties in it and seems to calm things down very quickly. You only need a small amount. https://www.akamuti.co.uk/product/calendula-and-chamomile-balm-50ml/

I`ve had a couple of Izabel items, 2 dresses I`ve bought from their own website a couple of years ago and they seem to be a generous fit. No idea if these trousers are a made for Q special, if so then they may be of a smaller fit or poorer quality, time will tell. Bon Marche also sells the brand...

I saw a programme a while ago about a small company who handmake shoes, sandals and boots and they also do a made to measure service. They`re in Totnes but also have a website. They say their shoes are made to last a lifetime and when they need any repairs or a resole or whatever, you send them...

I loved my Scholls back in the 70`s. I used to travel to work in shoes or boots and then change into scholls at the office. The only downside was the clip clop of them when walking on the tiled floors there. Nowadays I prefer a clog style and my last pair came off ebay . This are the ones I...

My youngest son who`se in his late 30`s has been with his partner for several years now and she`s been married before when she was in her early 20`s. She had the big white wedding but her marriage didn`t last long because her husband turned out to be a physical and mental abuser. Luckily she had...

Our family King and Queen were crowned today. Durphy and his sister Maisie. Both on their thrones.

Mr V ended up in the dog house on one of our anniversaries. He bought me a frying pan but insisted he thought it was a great present because the handle was loose on my old frying pan and he was concerned the handle might drop off whilst I was using it and I`d be badly burned by hot oil or hot food.

So far I`ve only bought two tops from them a few weeks ago and the sizing was good, quite generous but if you look at the details on the items on site they give some measurements such as chest, length etc
