i don’t want some paid influencer to tell me, i want real people to!

• cyberjammies- the best most comfy pj’s I’ve ever had I now have 3 pairs
• snag tights. I’ll never wear other tights again
• Laura gelled face powder makeup- specifically bronzer to go which has a poof and a mirror built in

yours?

I am now about £100 deep into spending today! Thanks all!!!

Anyone got anything for thread veins or spider veins

Can I ask where you get the laundry sheets from please?

@LittleBowSheep I like the Dr Beckmann ones, they sell them everywhere, Sainsbury's, Tesco, Waitrose, Amazon. I want to try the orange and peach ones next.

Yes they do work. They work best on medium-big weeds I think. Small/young weeds can still work too but it brings up a lot of the soil around them. Also, best done after some rain. It doesn’t work if the soil is baked solid.

@AlwaysPerplexed thank you! I’m so tempted. I have a robot vacuum but hate mowing and this might be the answer. Also looking at the vacuum/mop..

Robot mowers are great. Get one that doesn't need cable laying - it's a faff and they break.

I agree, tomatoes are the one thing that you can definitely taste the difference when you have bought better quality

A real lift, not a stair one. Every time I get in it I think ‘Thank God’ . I love everything about it, the way the light comes on when you open the ‘stable door’ and goes off a minute after you exit, the fold up seat though I haven’t needed it yet, the way it aligns perfectly with the floor to make getting in and out easy but a grab rail just in case, when we are on our way out and I suddenly realise I left something in the bedroom but don’t need to climb the stairs to retrieve it.
Luckily we had the perfect spot for it, a small ‘study’ used for dumping post and an identical room above for spare bedclothes.
It cost exactly £17,000.
I am 82, large house with high ceilings and stairs to match.
It hasn’t made my life a ‘bit better’, it has transformed it. I’ve mentioned it on here before but as I love it so much here it is again.

I’m really hoping dp’s mum will agree to a lift at some point @TrickyD. There’s a school of thought that she should move into supported living but I think a lift would fix most things that are fixable and give her a new lease of life.
