Still a few to get through then lol
For no 77 and I hope it doesn't make you cringe but try Debenhams. I had one of those VIP shopper things for Xmas last yr, finally used it Oct and had a lady called Chris. She was lovely. It was a lot of fun found some things i'd never have looked at on the shelf and some definate NO's!
Good luck with the list.
I love this idea. I really should think of writing my own list.
