    Hubby left the house at 2pm yesterday & was specifically told to get me a pashmina.Well, he wondered around town for a couple of hours looking at mobiles and whatnot so when I rang at 5 to ask what colour he had got me panic set in.He had left the voucher at home so I had to ask my sister for a lift, we drove into town to pass him the voucher and got there at 5.27 just before closing time-heard him on mobile begging the sales adviser to wait 5 minutes so he could come and get voucher to save him from being in the doghouse-well they felt sorry for him and kindly waited.
    Got me a lovely blue one after all that.
    Love can tame the wildest

    Gosh, you were lucky to get a pastel so late in the day, looks like it was mainly black and cream left in most places by the end of it.

    Maybe, because like me, they didn't see it or read the newsletter immediately. This was a one day offer, in fact by the looks of it, 1hour offer, so whats the issue if people are kindly notifying people of an offer - isn't that what the grabbit form is for, rather than people making cleaver remarks! - apologies that I I have also joined your club.
