I would like to try these - I hate cooking!

Beautiful !

I can feel them on my feet already.

I thought my favourite was the Smash advert but having watched them all and others that appeared, I just love them all. Not too keen on the Shake & Vac one but I think that was because it was on so many times you got sick of hearing it. Haven't watched it today but I can hear it in my head!! Certainly better than a lot of today's adverts!

This is a comment (modified) that I made to an article in the news:- Why should statues be demolished or moved to satisfy people who are only focusing on one aspect of that person’s life and they cannot see that if it wasn’t for these people our country would not be in the position it is today. They also remind us of how far we have come in changing attitudes. Yes, they were despicable times which, in hindsight, it is easy to say they should not have happened. But if we could go back 300 or so years, would we have the same attitude as that of today? I doubt it as it was acceptable at the time – we didn’t know any better. Huge changes in attitudes take a long time to happen and while I don’t condone the slave trade, I do accept that it is part of our history and without it we would not have some of the standards we live by today – or the freedom of speech to say so. As long as we learn from history and not repeat the same shameful acts then I think the statues should be there to remind us of our progress – and not only those of slave traders but anyone who has had an impact on our county’s history. ---------------------------------------------------- Slavery is not unique to black - white people were slaves too. Slavery does back many more years than those covered by the people in these statues and it wasn't instigated by them. We may not like certain aspects of our history but we cannot ignore them - but it is OUR history and we are proud of it - warts and all!

Absolutely agree Llin - and don't observe social distancing rules! You only have to watch the news reports to see them crowding together. Who are they to talk about double standards - and let's face it, is it really necessary for them to travel about to report on these stories?

Like Happy Hippie, I have carried a donor card since the 70's and they can use whatever is still useable when I go. My partner is the same and we think this scheme should have been adopted years ago. As they have been saying on the TV, talk it over with your family so everyone knows your wishes.

Fingers crossed - it would be a lovely pick-me-up for whoever wins.

Most definitely. This gentleman deserves to be knighted, not only for the money he is raising for the NHS but for the inspiration he is to others.

Bought from Pavers for years - love their shoes.

Janm - that is brilliant! Very true and with a humorous twist. Thank you.

Would love to be lucky in my life for once. Like Julesmax, mine also packed in a few weeks ago and I miss it too. So much easier to hold when you have arthritic thumbs!

It depends on how you 'view' the bed. Standing at the foot and looking towards the headboard, I sleep on the left but when lying in bed I'm on the right - best of both worlds ;)

We have 5 large seed feeders, 1 for niger seeds, 1 suet, 5 fat ball and 2 nut feeders, so this prize would be a big help if we won.

Morrisons have such a huge choice, so £50 would be very welcome!

This would be a wonderful experience - fingers crossed!

I have one pair of VanDal shoes but keep them for best, so would love another pair for everyday comfort. Fingers crossed!

My husband destroys pillows, so I hope they are indestructible too!

Oh, how I wish!!!

I voted for Brexit before and I will vote the same again. This Government is the worst we have ever had, although I do think Theresa May has tried to please everyone and been stabbed in the back for it. They want her out but who would replace her? No deal should never have been taken off the table and Nigel Farage says it will be brought back if the Brexit Party win! I certainly hope they do.

If I won it would replace my old Kindle that I found out wasn't waterproof!! And the addition of Bluetooth headphones is a real bonus.

How can anyone resist such a tempting offer - sounds wonderful. Fingers crossed!

This looks like an ideal holiday.....if only!

Dubrovnik looks a lovely place and I have heard really good comments about it. To win the holiday would be brilliant.

This would be ideal for doing my stairs, the car, taking with us in the caravan and a host of other things. Great prize! Fingers crossed.

Having been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes recently I am using my diet and exercise to control it. This would be a great help in improving my exercise level - always trying to improve on the previous day's walk. Brilliant prize thanks to Damart.

It's not sexist, it's human nature - we're only lOOking after all.

Yes Jorid, his face is rather fine. The thing about him, for me, is the expressions in those dark, brooding, expressive eyes! Now that is something to swoon over, especially when you daydream they are looking at you. Chest isn't bad either.

We have walked along canal sides for years. They are easy walking as they are flat, apart from where the locks are but if there is only 1 the rise is easily negotiated. We also walk round reservoirs, which are also flattish and easy walking. Both are peaceful and relaxing and you can hear the birds singing, water lapping and, unless the canal runs by a road, there is no traffic noise, but both can be muddy so be careful. Try a leisurely walk on a sunny day and take a picnic with you, there is always somewhere to sit and enjoy the view while you eat. If you log into your water providers website there is usually an area that specifies which reservoirs can be walked round and how to get to them and where to park. Enjoy.

What a super prize. Having recently taken up photography, I would love to win this prize, it would be a real bonus.

My other half has had two strokes and neither presented with the symptoms stated above. The first he knew nothing about until he went for a scan to confirm the second one he had. The symptoms he had were sickness, dizziness - (every time he sat up straight he started blacking out but he described it as dizziness, until I asked him to describe what it felt like) and not being able to keep anything down - even water. I rang NHS helpline and was told someone would ring me back within 7 hours (it was Christmas Eve) and eventually I received a call at 7am on Christmas Day. They sent an ambulance immediately and after checking him out in hospital he was told he had an ear infection! As it was Christmas I could not contact our own Doctor but as soon as it was possible I called at the surgery and gave the Doctor a copy of all the events that had happened since he started being ill. She came to see him after surgery and after examining him, said she thought he had had a small stroke at the back of his head. He was still being sick and had been given tablets by the hospital to stop it but as he had to take them with water, he brought them back up. Our Doctor gave him some to dissolve under his tongue - which did the trick, although he didn't eat anything for 11 days. He went for a scan 3 days later and it was when we saw the consultant for the results that he found out it was the second stroke he had suffered. I think it is important that people realize that there are more signs of a stroke than those mentioned. I had no idea he was having a stroke and even the hospital mis-diagnosed it, so beware.

These girls don't just stand in front of the cars holding a number, they have other, more important things to do. They learn about the cars and the drivers and answer questions asked by the public, who are interesting in learning more and don't have the opportunity to ask the drivers or mechanics. They are intelligent, well informed girls who have worked hard to achieve a goal and should be admired for it. Jacob Rees-Mogg states that he believes in a free society where people should be free to do as they want - yet these girls are doing what they want but he condemns them - just because they don't comply with his beliefs! And who says they aren't being treat with respect? Try talking to them and you will find it is their choice and they are well treat and respected.

Had a big birthday yesterday (8th) but didn't do anything special, so if I was lucky enough to win I could have a belated celebration.

No doubt it would be a very interesting read.

I go along with Kurna - if I should be the lucky one, please donate the jacket to a serviceman

This would be the holly on top of the Christmas pud!

If I were lucky enough to win I would need to renew my passport - but it would be worth it. Lovely prize!

I would love to take my Grandson, he would love it - but I might be scared!

With this I could go for rides with my Grandson - he'd like that

I think of people like Stephen Hawking - in a wheelchair but his mind is still as sharp as it was when he was a student. The heroic men and women who have been disabled when they put their lives on the line to keep us safe yet their determination and strong will have enabled them to overcome some of the most horrific injuries imaginable. Strong mental health has been their saviour over injuries that would have been their end, I admire them so much.
