Day in the life of Bob - Going to the Dentist
I Spent a lovely day at the dentist today and thought I'd share! :) I have a mouth guard fitted every so often to prevent me tooth grinding in my sleep. I registered with this new NHS dentist recently. He made a new mouth-guard for me and everything went fine. About 5 months later, it snapped. I took it back, and the…

My Hermes (Courier)
Well... I'll keep this brief. I was trying to save a few quid on postage for my ebay items, I saw a banner on ebay for My Hermes and they were a lot cheaper than the Royal Mail, but I've learned there is a reason for this. I posted a Wall Paper steamer, it was well packaged. The booking process online is very easy and…

steam generating ironing unit.....grrr!
In the past five years I have managed to get through three steam generator ironing units, you know those big ugly things where the iron sits on a big box that makes the steam. They are brilliant to use, and cut down the ironing time quite considerably (IMPORTANT as I hate ironing) but I am now wondering if they are worth…

Rant and query regarding neighbours
Erm. To the nice people in the forum. Only found out recently that two properties in the close have been sold to an housing association. What has surprised me most is that the properties in the close and area are all actually owned by people who work and have a mortgage. My question is, which I kind of know the answer -…

Bloomin Wilkinsons!
I saw a couple of Halogen Ovens on their website yesterday so nipped in to store to have a look. My local store has just had a refit and I couldn't immediately see the electrical aisle as everything has moved. I approached a lady who I've seen working in there for years and asked. "Don't sell em" came the rather short…

Amazon Market Place Seller - Have I lost £35?

Groupon praise
I'm always very mindful of the fact that people are quick to vent but not to praise, so I thought I would add my feedback. I ordered a voucher for a restaurant and although it was a little confusing (had to wait a day for the voucher, then once I'd printed it off, they emailed me almost a day later with the voucher again),…
