    Adnittedly when I do my mammoth sessions I iron everything (except socks as well Nikki ;)) OH comments he has a whole new wardrobe of clothes when it's done :o Ironing is piled high over the back of an Ikea Poang chair. So when the chair tips over from the weight it's time:rotfl:
    We have a super king bed & I have to iron the flat sheets folded in half as I need a line down the centre to put it on the bed even :o


    The £13 Technika DVD player is a HDMI Upscaling DVD Player (Model HDMISS10) BAR 8015 - The SEL is £26

    I have returned to an irate OH as DVD player would not work for him :mad: :( so we actually read (see my motto) the instructions properly :o but still wouldn't work :(
    Luckily........we had bought another for my sister & tried that one & it works :T:T:T The sound & quality is fabulous & it's tiny. The old DVD player is like a breeze block in comparsion :D

    Noticed they have them in stock in my Mr T this afternoon so he can swop the dud one tomorrow :):)

    Will put old one on Freegle & someone's chucked out a washing machine for binmen so I've put that on Freegle too. I hate pointless waste :o

    Thanks for that, its not the one I got then, may be worth looking out for it though 7in Twin portable DVD Player BC 5052004522120 £25
    Littlewoods £10 Very BNPL £234.42
    My total debt is [STRIKE]£7242.32[/STRIKE]£244.42
    Extra payment a week: This week: £
    Total to date: £1279.29 not incl this week

    Ah go on ... and wear a clip item in your button hole so I'll recognise you :p

    Would have been a real detour, junction 20 was closed due to roadworks! Snow on main roads hadn't been cleared until I was nearly on the M60, then stuck behind gritter/snowplough combo...... but at least it was clear coming home :).

    The clip strips come from the manufacturers with the product already attached, once it's empty it's binned and T staff take another full strip out of the box and hang it up.

    All were doing is taking the rubbish away for them.

    Exactly the same as my OH, he's started making the "Oh forgot I had that!" comments:)
    loads of pages to catch up on,so if anyone could recap anything in the last 24 hours i would be grateful.
    DD broke her ankle last night so this morning was spent at casualty:eek::eek:

    Poor thing, that's rotten:(
    Beware!!!! Glitching is addictive:rotfl:
  • 3Dogs is mine! Hands off!

    No head hunting!:mad:

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Sorry HC
    Oi! Carefull where you're throwing those cyber TCO's! That one hit me on the back of my head. Ouch they hurt!

    Sorry HC but as long as i dont have to keep looking at them im happy to throw them around! Actually have just wrapped loads up as presents :D
    After 2 days of christmas cake icing and decorating (all 9 of them), truffle making, DIY chocolate orange doing (I was too late for the real thing!), mince pie making, wrapping and card writing, i am finally sat down with a cup of tea :-)

    And guess whats for dinner?! Enchilladas is what :-D) Was all i could get so it'll do for me!

    Do you want some???????? :rotfl:

    Again sorry for the lack of thanks in catching up, it lets me do two then disappears, and even refreshing doesnt bring it back! :mad:

    Does anyone else find that family take the P!!s out of you for running off on glitches and then come round and steal stuff from your stash?
    Yesterday we had my sister round who raided my stash, then today my OHs family came round and raided my stash, and then a friend popped in for a cuppa and you guessed it raided the stash!! :p
    I now have a nice clear hole on the shelfing unit, so new glitch please tescos! :D

    Off to bath the kids now

    My clip strip just ended up in the trolley, and the guy on SS was training on his first night, him and the other guy with him both clocked it and didnt bat an eyelid

    I'm thinking of other "suitable" uses for mine

    Philips wake up light down from £109.99 - £29.99

    Just thought I'd mention it as I'm sure some of you were looking for these before.
