LX Direct are SO slow
I ordered Halo2 for 21.99 inc free delivery which they kindly amended to 36.99 inc free delivery without my consent. They quickly changed that but i am still waiting for it.....ordered on 11/11, estimate delivery is 16/12. Could that be a record for a game? Brings a new meaning to snail mail.

We are expecting our first child, and recently went to The Baby Show in London where we saw the 'Amby Baby Hammock' Friends of ours in USA have one and swear by it, so we thought that we would buy one.

Morrisons' Trollies
Nope not a rehash of the topic below/above about kids in trollies! I have to write this down as I am so angry (possibly overreacting, but hey!) Our Safeway turned into Morrisons about 2 months ago. I usually do any big shops in Tesco but pop down to Morrisons for bits and pieces which usually fit in a basket. 3 year old…

I think this tyoe of email that your friend received is one of the scam ones, designed to frighten people. If you check on the various telecom sites it will confirm that if you hang up your telephone line the charges stop, you are no longer connected to the caller so you cannot be incurring charges. In the 'old' days of…

Some of you may remember the saga with our pine bed that was a wedding present to us, and the posts having splits in them. Well, on Saturday we went to the shop, but the bed they have offered us a replacement, although similar, just isnt a patch on the one we've got, so we asked for some sort of compensation instead. The…
