    Worried about my mum.

    I entirely see your point Jaylou and normally would completely agree with you and say just let it lie. BUT that said his remark did effect Tara's mum and was completely unprofessional and inappropriate given his career. Yes of course it was said in an entirely personal situation (as opposed...

    Worried about my mum.

    Every person who wants to call themselves a paramedic has to be registered with the Health Professionals Council (I presume it is the same for Jersey) so you could actually complain to them as it is conduct unbecoming and it's also bullying and unprofessional. If Jersey doesn't come under the...

    Winter Boots

    Some of these are gorgeous! But I bet they still wouldn't fit my HUGE legs! LOL

    Winter Boots

    Although the duo boots aren't cheap they really do last! Mine have a small kitten heel and even with my obesity they have lasted well. Granted I haven't been able to wear them recently due to my weight gain. I looked at the website last night and have fallen in love with a pair. Now need to...

    Winter Boots

    I struggle too. Until I found out about Duo Boots about 7 years ago. I bought a pair for £90 then that are still going strong! I've had the heels replaced about 5 times since but they are fab. The prices have gone up quite a bit but they are amazing. Ever year I say I'm going to treat...

    Wellie Boots

    Thanks for the tip - I'd seen these elsewhere but the price put me off. I did just re-look at them though but the size chart for these says the calves are only at maximum 44cm (17") and that's a UK size 13! A mere size 5 like me is only 39cm :( Are yours more generous than that then?

    Wellie Boots

    Just checked out the website - love the wellies! They are all fab :) But I can't find a list of the calf sizes and they don't look as large as my enormous calves :(

    Good luck with your search and thanks for this thread. I've been looking for wellies for ages but need a 50cm calf and I can't seem to find a pair for less than £45 but I just cannot bring myself to spend that on wellies! My chunky calves have brought me many sad times :( Worst thing is even...

    Blood doners, a question

    Over here the rules stipulate (I think) that you cannot donate if you've ever had cancer. As for the age thing it's because as you get older you're more prone to anaemia and it takes your body longer to replace the blood you've given away. It's not an ageist thing - it's a health thing :)...

    Impressive! One of the Asda's by me used to just take any coupon but then the other one never did and they got funny about coupons that were printed off. It was a shame because I'd usually end up clipping about a tenners worth! It seems to be the luck of the draw with where you go and...
