Mr V had his full upper set replaced with dentures and much of what you`ve said and experienced is exactly what he went through too. I know it`s difficult and uncomfortable but as mentioned earlier, time and patience is the key. He`s had 3 sets of dentures for various reasons ie poor fit...

We only drink a couple of bottles a week , usually with our dinner on Saturday and Sunday but we always buy the wine from Aldi. Though I must admit Jam Shed do some lovely red wines but the Aldi dupes don`t fully live up to them. None the less Aldi have some great ones at good prices but neither...

We`ve been enjoying The Penguin which is a HBO production for Sky or Now TV. It isn`t anything like the Batman movie Penguin character. It`s more his back story and his life before becoming an arch criminal in Gotham City. It`s dark and violent but Colin Farrell plays a fantastic part and the...

My youngest son got engaged a few weeks ago and it cost him £1300 for the ring. It`s a solitaire with smaller diamonds along the shoulders set in 18ct white gold. The centre stone is quite small though, a quarter carat but its a pretty ring. When I got engaged to my late first hubby back in the...

Yes we binge watched it on ITV X and loved it. It`s loosely based on a real life female diamond thief who nicked around £2 million worth of them !

Well my HB advent calendar arrived this morning and it`s HUGE and sits like a chest of drawers with 2 drawers full of smaller numbered boxes. I`m very happy with it and it was well packed so no damage to it during delivery. Of course I haven`t opened any doors yet but it weighs heavy and has 16...

I`ve never bought an advent calendar until this year and I`ve ordered the Holland and Barrett one. It`s £45 but I`ll use everything in it and buy quite a few items from HB anyway. I like their stuff and I`ve never been a big follower of luxury beauty brands. I think they can be full of hype and...

Watch for the MB offers plus others. I love this stall !

I`ve had several items from the Osprey website and they have really good sales. They have the outlet section on their site all of the time but I wait until they have an actual sale and if you`re registered with them they send regular discount codes too. Their sale prices drop over time as well...

Shells pearls which are made from crushed shells moulded into a pearl shape. Not for me I prefer real pearls.

I draw the line at using the £1 a bottle stuff you can find because I should imagine they are one step away from washing up liquid but there are some lovely body washes and hand washes for much less money than MB. I can understand someone buying an expensive perfume because a good perfume lasts...

I`ve finished my Christmas shopping. I shop throughout the year in sales or with discount codes. I hate the manic feeding frenzy near to Christmas when everybody rushes around the shops or they`re hoovering up anything or everything on websites. I like it all done and dusted well before...

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.

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...
