    Can someone explain to me the POINT of ads like (e.g. laser eye replacement) which say "nothing to pay for 2 years and then 2 years interest free credit"...I get the interest-free bit but as for deferment, why-oh-why do people think they'll be better off in 2 years than they are now! It must tap in to the underlying british sense of optimism....

    Moaning all!

    Shopping this morning in Sunny Scunny. Have decided to buy a deep fat fryer. We had one until we got a new kitchen 18 months ago " Dump it. It looks scruffy. Spoils the faux granite work tops" So since that fateful day I have been forced to endure oven chips. Anyone ever had a decent oven chip....I think not. Doctor won't be too happy already on cholesterol tabs, but hey you only live once. In fact s*d it! I'll get a new frying pan while I'm at it. :D

    I'll wager it won't be mash potato tonight? :D

    The OH looked into it (through squinted eyes). £395 per eye you're joking! More like £1,500 per eye, It's getting a very competitive business I'm waiting until it's buy one get one free, Until then she'll have to do with milk bottle bottom glasses and the white stick. ;) :rotfl:
