Plane nearly crashed on the way to Istanbul and cabin pressure failed on the way back so we had to use oxygen masks plus we managed to avoid all the protests, murders and riots on Sunday.


You picked a bad day to give up smoking, right?


I've read this a couple of times now and I don't get it. At all.

Looks like that one fell flat

I believe it's an 'Airplane' reference. And quite a good use of it, to be fair.

Mother dearest wanted a set of hair straighteners at just the right time from Tesco Direct - £10 off a £75 spend when these were combined with my latest Lego set, plus I got to use up a chunk of my boosted points so it was totally free :D

So as part of the new extension it seems that you cant use the same old furniture (So SWMBO says and who am I to disagree) – anyway we purchased some new sofas and they were delivered the other day

Due to a couple of cock-ups by the Company and the fact that I found a small rip he hoofed it down to the showroom

Up shot is that the stuff we ordered about 12 weeks ago is now on sale – given the rip I was able to “reject” the whole order (under the nice new consumer act) agree to keep it (bar the ripped sofa which they will replace) and save £700

I can now put that to the new TV fund – well if you can’t keep the same furniture then you can’t keep the same TV (although for some reason SWMBO does not seem to follow the same logic here)

A TV *IS* an item of furniture, isn't it?

I think she might be comming round - or at least feeling guilty about the amount she has spend on furniture

http://www.johnlewis.com/samsung-ue49ks8000-suhd-hdr-1-000-4k-ultra-hd-quantum-dot-smart-tv-49-with-freeview-hd-playstation-now-360-design-uhd-premium/p2621486

Although not shown her the price has agreed to look at TV's in John Lewis and I like the look of this anf the saving on the sofa will pay 1.2 the cost so IF I use her "shopping Logic" - now there is an oxymoron if there ever was one - then its only £700

I think that's great, especially the video.

ION, multiple email addresses and multiple orders with multiple discount codes FTW ;)

Saw that. It's fantastic.. not teaching as such I suppose but.. pupil management? Maybe? How to keep someone interested and motivated to be part of the process even if it's not really tailored to them.

I'm thinking in future years we make this a bank holiday.
