Even if you don't have a Bravissimo anywhere near you, an independent lingerie shop will do a great fitting job for you. Or M&S as well.

Ahhh ranch dressing...I was just thinking about whether or not I'd be able to get it in the UK. But I know I've bought ibuprofen at Boots the last time I was in the UK.

Those are on my list too. I just can't seem to find them to suit me here, because the sizing is different.

That's funny. Long before I got involved with my BF, I was in London and had a life-changing experience getting fitted at Bravissimo. So I've bought imported from the UK in UK sized bras for ages--can't get US ones to fit right anymore. They cost a fortune but they're worth. It's much cheaper for me to buy those in the UK at this point because exchange rate has improved so much in the past few years.

Yes you can get ibuprofen in the UK in small quantities. Some pharmacies will give you a bottle of 100 but you have to ask for it. I bring it back from the US or adk frinds to bring it when they visit because then I can get a botlle of 500 or 750.

Also, you can I've bought Briannis Ranch Dressing here. It might not be available everywhere, but it's here.

I believe it has helped prevent overdoses/suicide attempts.
When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life. ~ John Lennon

Ahhh ranch dressing...
Ranch packets last forever....bring them and store them - totally worth it.  It has become such a joke at our house my friend just left but she came with 40 packets of ranch for me  ;D did I need all of that? NO I still had PLENTY!
I share with people who are in need and a few folks around here (friends) who have come to love the stuff too.
sharing is caring

Golden Oreos have found their way onto my list, along with Carmex lip balm.

Because we are so close to going back, I will wait and get things there for that 'comfort from home' feel to everything. I will cetainly be using that link before the next trip though, for when I need things to tide me over to the next trip. :)

I saw Carmex at my local Boots yesterday.

It's not listed at Sainsbury's, but I've bought both the regular stick type (non-squeezy) and pot of Carmex there.
