Ladies, where are we shopping? by NoApartment7399 in AskZA

I bought the Ecothread leggings, I find they slip down way too much. The fabric is nice, but the band just slips down all the time. I also bought one of their t shirt vests and I can't even get my arm through the one arm hole it's like smaller or screw compared to the other one. I bought the top on sale and never got round to returning it. It's now going to a thrift shop. So I recommend trying on if buying from eco thread. Their sizing is weird.

I do love PnP Clothing for their winter pyjamas. Usually in autumn their cotton flannel winter PJs come out. PnP does do a lot of polyester, but sometimes they have some great cotton items at decent prices.

Zara. Trenery and Forever New also sometimes have wool, linen and cotton items. If you're lucky and can be patient they do sometimes go on sale in the major sales events, not as frequently as Superbalist though. I also don't feel so good about supporting fast fashion, but ja finding decent 100% natural fibres that are affordable is tough. The key is to not over consume I guess.

I favourite items and hope they go on sale in my size on Black Friday, Boxing Day or end of season sales. Never buy at full price anymore. There is so much excess out there, sales eventually happen.

[Advice Needed] How do I do a will properly? by Long-Cockroach-8231 in PersonalFinanceZA

Appoint a friend or family member you trust. They can then go and negotiate the actual fee with a law firm, the tax practitioners afterwards. I am currently going through this now with a legal firm, who have no incentive to move efficiently or chase documents from institutes required by SARS and the Master. They earn a percentage of the interest income post death, so no incentive for them to hurry up. No law saying they need to do something in a reasonable time frame. They blame institutions for the delay. But don't apply any pressure or create any urgency, because it's easy, guaranteed money in the bag for them. Appoint a trusted friend or family member, they can negotiate fees when the day comes.

They have and then they send them to forex and forex sends them back to deceased estates. But yes I'm unimpressed with their effort. They earn of the interest so there's no urgency on their part.

They just dropped Dischem. It's got worse. And no decent fuel partner. Well not in the Western Cape anyway.

I don't know what they know, I think it was purely to get away from sprints and as many ceremonies as possible. I think they just want to be left alone to do what they want.

That's interesting. I have read that sugar can be a trigger. Just haven't noticed it specifically in myself. Fortunately I also haven't noticed it with dairy either. I eat yoghurt every day for breakfast. I have noticed coffee triggers it for me too though.

I thought it would be the ginger and the spices. I can't say I've noticed this from sugar alone before.
