RE: UKNM: Another one bites the dust

         Reply to:   RE: UKNM Digest V1 #577

I second that, Melanie.


It's such a shame that two lovely young men and their adoptive mother are

now going to lose all their possessions because of the fickleness of

online buyers.  Do you think they'll have to sign on?  Do people in the

south

do that?


Nutravida gets my vote.  I used my �10 voucher from NMA a few weeks ago

to buy some razors and skin cream - fulfilment in 3 days - including

weekend - postage foc.  The prices were OK but not brilliant.  My only qualm

is

that they don't sell Trust anti-odorant - the organic, non-aluminium one

from Israel.


see you


Richard
