    my mum always gives us all £10 each as well including my hubby :) my sister in law doesn't normally send anyhing from australia though so don't know why she has this year as we only send cards for birthday & christmas & never presents?

    Maybe she was just organised enough this time. Don't knock it :D

    What is the concensus on laptop screens, touch screens versus not touch screens.

    Could do with a bit of help please I promised DD3 she could have a laptop now we can afford one.

    She has found an Asus at PC World she likes.

    http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/laptops-netbooks/laptops/laptops/asus-x550ca-xx249h-15-6-laptop-21836943-pdt.html

    Does this look a good deal. Apparently processor is a good one.

    I have seen a similar red one on Ts direct £30 cheaper but it's touch screen.
    I had this email today from bespoke offers. I thought it was a good deal. jpd3l3.png
    im not saying its any good as I don't know but just looks ok hth

    I wasn't going to tell this story because it's been making me sweat with embarrassment all day :o but I will thanks to Mr Ts prosecco and hopefully it being late enough to not offend anyone!

    My embarrassing story from today......

    We have a little windy road here that is effectively a shortcut for me to get from here to Ts and As. Single track with some passing places. The passing places are big enough for one car mostly and invariably cars drive right behind each other and cause chaos on it. I don't.....I always leave one passing place between cars :A :D

    On the way home from Ts today I had just about made the whole windy road without seeing another car (always a triumph). At the last passing place there was another car, with another one right behind it. I looked in my mirror and lo and behold I had a Picasso parked up my exhaust :( gridlock. My car is a big 7 seater so there we all were 4 cars....stuck!

    All the usual grumpy faces took place and people nudging their cars 2 inches hoping it'll make a difference (it didn't) Picasso man behind me started beeping his horn and making rude hand gestures. I could do nothing.....without damaging my car. He was very obnoxious :mad:.....eventually Picasso man realised he had no choice but to reverse back to the previous passing place (where he should have stopped in the blinking first place :mad:)

    By this time I was incensed at his rudeness and got out my car to tell him what a plonker he was. I really was :mad::mad:. I walked up to his car and said the exact following words :o

    'why on earth did you come right up my a**e' :o:o :o:o:o:o

    I think I realised before the sentence was finished what I'd said and he did as well.......we both burst out laughing :o:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I hope I haven't offended anyone :o I usually choose my words more carefully
    I hear that all the time :o :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
