    CM sorry to hear about your cat ,we've an eldrely cat who eats well but has gone to skin & bone ,sleeps nearly all the time ,but twice in the last few months we've taken her to the vet ,but apart from bad teeth & poorly eyes at nearly 20 years the vet said shes really good .
    SND hope you enjoyed your time with your friend ,sometimes doing things like this just bring a bit of normality back to our lives esp after the last few months.
    B sorry to hear about the speeding ticket ,just think of it as using a bit of the money you've saved using recent glitches & coupons.

    firstly CL, how old is the laptop? what make is it? how many times did Curry's repair it?

    secondly, don't buy a Dell. I have one, and it was only a year old when the screen started going fuzzy. As I was so disorganised I couldn't find the receipt for it and never bothered to get them to deal with it. Toshiba is better. But I want to know about your current laptop before you go and buy a new one.

    About blooming time you shared some of the elite stuff on here:mad::mad: Why do you think we let you go on there if not to tell us about the deals/glitches:p:p:p:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I have had a lovely time with AH and her hubby. As with her posts she is so friendly and down to earth. The only problem was she only drank 10 bottles of the blue stuff compared to my 12, so a bit of a slacker in the drinking game:(:D:D:D I hope you don't mind BP but I gave her some of the car Ambi Pur coupons as she has a smelly house and buys loadsa the air fresheners:eek::eek: but I told her they came from you so she owes you a xmas card;)
    Be thankful for what you have because it could all be taken away tomorrow.;)

    I spent £400-£500 on my Dell, and I wish I had found receipt sooner and got it replacede :(

    sorry CL, but you need to stand firm on this. Even if it is only a couple of years old, it should have been replaced after the 3rd of being returned. That is standard practise. They try to repair it twice and the third time, they replace it.

    fair enough CL, I can understand that.

    don't buy from PC World, Comet or Currys.
