    My daughter has persuaded her father to get me what I want for Christmas - a portable Bose ipod Sounddock (way over his usual budget), but considering I have promised to pay off his large credit card bill it seems it will be me paying for it anyway!

    Great, could you fill it 1/3 full with water at about 40C, and keep an eye out for any car jackers as I soak the car & pedestrians whilst running the engine?. Cheers! :D

    Woolworths Closing Down Sale provided a good opportunity to buy cheaply lots of stuff I didn't know I needed


    Can't wait to see the "mother in law's" face on Christmas morning, I've bought her Woolworth vouchers. :rotfl:

    Drole! Judge Judy is great, the's a tough lady who never apologizes and thinks she's cleverer then everyone else. Actually I would hate her, except I think she's nearly correct (and witty with it)!
