Sorry for the original post but this offer ends on the 27th not the 29th, a typo mistake on my part.

If anybody is wanting their usual perfume or needs to buy any for Christmas or other gifts then the Perfume Shop are doing buy one get one half price until the 29Th. Mr V`s granddaughter uses a Chanel one, as does my middle son`s partner so I`ve just ordered a bottle of each and one was charged...

I agree that nowadays people should be able to discuss any physical or sexual problem with their friends, immediate family or their GP but the snake oil sellers will jump on any kind of bandwagon to make a few bob. The one thing I like to see is the open dialogue between parents and their kids...

Crikey am I glad I missed out on the email and anything else related to this subject on Q. I had quite a chuckle thinking how my Mum would have reacted and me and Mr V frequently comment about our Mums reactions when ads for incontinence products, period tampons, erectile disfunction, condoms...

Thanks EM I`ll order him some and if it works for him I`ll see if he can get it on prescription. He`s such a pain for refusing to use creams, ointments etc and its the old fashioned miner in him ie anything but a bar of soap is womens stuff !

Mr V is diabetic and could do with a good foot cream. Can you tell me the name of the one your nurse recommended EM ? Thanks.

I returned from holiday just a few days ago and decided to go online to pay bills, check banking and emails etc but my laptop had died a death. A local tech place looked at it and told me just how poorly it was and how much it would cost to repair and seeing as I`d had the laptop for a number of...

Oh yes I loved C and A too. As a young teen around 14 to 15 I used to have a yearly trip into Manchester with my Mum just before Christmas and my Christmas presents would be a new dress and shoes. Until then I`d always had big sister`s castoffs or Mum`s homemade but hardly stylish offerings but...

My granddaughter who`se 18 in a few weeks refuses to buy new clothes. She wears stuff from ebay, vinted and a local secondhand market. The only thing she buys new is footwear which mainly consists of Doc Marten boots which last her about 3 years or more. The last pair she outgrew so I`ve just...

My espadrilles arrived today and they are from Simply Be brand, the name can be clearly seen inside them. They are great for the money, a good fit and for £8 for 2 pairs they can`t be beaten IMO.

We had a local branch and I popped in there every week to see what they had. Brands such as Peacocks, Bonmarche, Matalan, Mc and Co, Marks amongst others. Some weeks there was nothing to interest me, others weeks I`d end up buying one or two things and my best bargain were 3 ex Marks jumpers for...

Shush which is a famous name outlet store are selling espadrilles £5 a pair or 2 pairs for £8. I`ve had lots of things from them including other footwear. It`s £3.95 delivery or you can collect in store if you have a nearby branch. Their footwear tends to sell out very quickly...

Yes I agree it`s a lovely programme. I am totally useless at anything to do with sewing, crochet or knitting and I didn`t inherit my Mum`s skills but my late sister did. Mum was a solid sewer but not inventive or artistic, plain and practical but solidly made were her fortes. She wasn`t big into...

Back in my younger days people owned very few clothes. You tended to have your everyday stuff and one "best" dress, coat and shoes. I recall lots of Mums, friends and neighbours making their own clothes, some better than others but usually cheap and cheerful. My Mum sewed, knitted and recycled...

A couple of years ago I ordered some embroidered pouch bags from Elizabeth Scarlett London website. It`s a UK company and she`s always portraying care about wild animals and how her company gives to animal protection charities. The bags I ordered are called pouches and they looked lovely and I...

My Mum sounds very similar to your Gran, Donna. She had 4 children, always worked various jobs sometimes 2 or 3 cleaning jobs a day, my Dad worked away Monday to Friday as a long distance lorry driver back in the days of flatbed lorries he had to load himself, no motorways and not even a heater...

Lots of crochet around at the moment, some of it I like, some I don`t. I recently ordered a crochet cardi/jacket which will go over dresses when its cooler at night on holiday or over tops/T shirts with maxi skirts or linen trousers. I tend to over pack when we go on holiday but this year I`m...

We were once in a YKW store in Bury and Mr V who`se quite a big chap found a lovely heavy padded jacket tucked behind some obviously newer stock. It was the only one of its kind on the rail and in his size XXL. No price on it though and he presumed it was the same price as the other style on the...

Glad you like You Know Who site Mina. We visit their Bury store regularly and always find a bargain or two. Here`s a link to another site similar to YKW and we used to have one of their stores locally which has since closed down but I still buy stuff from them online. They sell ex famous store...

An oldie range but a goodie range is the Fenjal one. It`s vegan and cruelty free and their shower products come in different formulations from oils to milks to creams to foams. Something for everyone plus they now do a sensitive formula as well as the original ones. I actually like the smell and...
