Yep, my fave word as well.

The derivation is interesting:

"Word History: Today's Good Word comes from a fairy tale called The Three Princes of Serendip by the 18th-century British author Horace Walpole. The three princes were always making fortuitous discoveries of things they were not looking for. Serendip was the former name of Sri Lanka. "

I was just checking Google maps to see how far it would take to make a run for the border! I had a look on the Ts website to confirm my suspicions earlier. There are indeed no Ts on the Ards Peninsula south of Ards itself. Madness!

Do you know I was thinking the same myself :rotfl: my only problem is I've still got a lot of stores up here I've not been to yet! But on the other hand I still have Euro left from hols, too many decisions this early in the morning

DH has just walked in saying that's a nice candle you've got there, and walked off singing"It aint what you do it's the way that you do it" I am never going to hear the end of his DTD's:eek::eek::eek:

My O/H was like that his first DTD was a £50 one plus where he is such a charmer chatting to the CS she totally forgot to mark the receipt so the conversation went like this

Him *smug face* I did really well and I got a goldie
Me *gritted teeth* Yes you did well to get a golden
Him *still smug* I hope my next one is a goldie too
Me *irate face* GOLDEN its called a g o l d e n
Him *uber smug* Are you a bit cross because you didn't get a goldie
Me :mad::wall:

Morning everyone
Just off to work so no MrT for me today, got some free cinema tickets from an incentive thing at work so kids at my mums and Mr and Mrs R are out for the first time in a long time:D

Speaking of free cinema tickets does Orange still do free Wednesdays?

EDIT:
I'm answering my own question here ... http://web.orange.co.uk/p/film/home

Surely there's got to be a MSE cinema club to "buddy up and [STRIKE]exploit[/STRIKE] claim codes (or however it works) :cool:

I went on my supermarket the other day and seriously though I'd clicked into the wrong site:o



Very true, I let him be boss from 9-5 a few days a week when we're working but all the old tricks work;)Sow a little seed in his head and then he has to think about it for 1/2 hour and then thinks he's come up with a wonderful idea:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Morning everyone, working for myself today but am available to check glitches should one come up;)Nice and bright here this morning but chilly. Hope everyones ok, but hugs to all who need them:) I can't even get the new style forum to work when I try to get it up, that's a shame:rotfl::rotfl:
Off to do some work now but will pop in every 1/2 hour:)

Works everytime but hard to keep a straight face sometimes! Another good one is 'reminding him of his other good idea'. :rotfl:

I guess I'm right handed as I write with my right hand, but I eat left-handed (including the spoon in my left hand) I knit left handed mam was left handed and the things she taught me to do as a kid I do left handed lol

Bought a new printer, HP 3050A I think, it's still in the box waiting for me to research online how good the reviews are on it if not too good will be returning it.
Hoping it's good because the security guard couldn't be bothered taking the security tag out of the box as I was leaving, he just checked the reciept and walked me to the escalator and let me go.
Couldn't be bothered explainig this to SA in my local so would have to return it to the original store and not up that way often.

Well it's been a log day so

Goodnight all!

I have this printer and its ok, a little slow printing wirelessly but does the job. It also has airprint so can print from ipods, iphones, ipads etc. http://www.therecyclingfactory.com/sell-ink-cartridges this company also pay for your used cartridges.
