   Isaac - thank you for your very kind (and hilarious) comment on my completely humble effort. But they’re actually *deers*, you know! xx

2. Comment on Make your own instant (bang-on-trend) wardrobe update for £5 or less.

   Claire - after it’s dried from the tea dye, dunk it in a bowl of water with some salt in it. No idea how much - that’s just what I heard.

   Beads - yes, Gok is good but I do think he overdoes it with the customisation and accessorising at times!

   I’m well impressed with your repair and alteration efforts! A bloke who can sew rates highly in my book!

4. Comment on How to win big (and save loads) on Ebay

   Likkle girl - that’s exactly what happened to me! I couldn’t work out how people were getting in bids with two seconds to go and pipping me at the post! Then a wee birdy told me about sniping and I haven’t looked back. xx

5. Comment on How-to: A wedding dress for less than $200

   Your dress looks just fabulous, and oh-so Audrey-chic! Love the black-on-white organza, too! Your Aunt Kathy is one very talented lady. Love that you’re ‘repaying’ her by making her an Etsy shop. Make sure you post the link when it’s finally up! xx

9. Comment on Gorgeous lunch for a fiver: Princi

   Exactly - although I should have stated that first and foremost Princi is a bakery - and a bloody good one at that. Also good for take-away snacks like quality (not cardboard) croissants! xx

10. Comment on Eat out at a top restaurant for under £10

    Hi Jinnie,
    Why, yes, we do have some recommendations for foodie-approved lunch on a budget in London. I’ll post them this week - as long as it will be in time for your trip?
    I’m also planning a day trip to Paris next week and looking for some extremely thrifty lunch ideas. It’s for my challenge and I have basically no budget. All ideas gratefully received! xx

14. Comment on Hair cuts on a budget

    Agreed. Bad idea to scrimp on hair cuts. I’ve actually also had a ‘good’ budget hair cut as well, but it’s all too hit and miss for my liking. Better orf saving up - just wish the good hairdressers in London weren’t so exxy. xx
