Thank you for all your comments this week. On the Bulgarian Dreams report there has been some sound advice:

Ricastle - comment 14 - says: "The Bulgarian Dreams case highlights what happens when reality sets in. If you want a decent company, look for one that has been around since before the crazy price increases, and that doesn't just offer 'too good to be true' holiday complexes that haven't been completed yet."

On next Monday's programme we will be reflecting the fact that we've heard from many more people who have lost money while trying to buy property through Bulgarian Dreams. And we are still on the trail of Robert Jenkin and Mariya Georgieva, the couple behind the company.

We will also have an update on the eBay selling illegal knives report. We've been getting a variety of responses on this story.

Craggyside - comment 3 - says: "More misguided hysteria and nothing more - shame on Watchdog."

While Schiel - comment 87 - thinks: "Knives are ubiquitous and always will be, we have to deal with our "knife crime" problem from a social angle."

The programme will also feature many people's favourite motor - the mini. The mini chase in the film The Italian Job may be iconic, but we look at the model of mini that is surprising people when it fails on corners, roundabouts and turning, and therefore causing them to lose control of their cars, veer off the road, and narrowly avoid accidents.

Plus, food allergies and intolerances are big business on the high street. We put them to the test to see how reliable they really are.
