    IA, the diary goes so fast that when I come back on the site and click on "last post since your last visit" it doesn't take me far back enough - and I was only on this morning! Anyway, now I know (sort of) what a paradiddle is - at least, I know its not a piece of equipment! Thats progress, but I'm glad (also sort of!) that you didn't know either. Gives me hope!:o :rotfl:

    Nope. And still not showing as despatched on dial a phones website. They originally said it would be here by the 27th so we reckon someone has mistaken a 7 for a 4 and put the 24th instead.
    If it doesn't turn up by friday Ste's going to complain and see what else free he can get out of them :D

    I am SO cheesed off though. I signed up for a cinema paradiso free dvd trial through quidco worth £6.. no problems filled out the form.. added card details to verify my identity no problems.. chose a dvd... cashback tracked fine everyone was happy.
    Til I checked the internet bank and they've taken a month's subscription already!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: It's only £4.89 so even if I don't get it back we've still not lost anything as the cashback was 36 but it's the bloody principle!!!! Might try calling them today.. have emailed their customer service already so if I don't get a reply by midday I'll call them. t*ssers.

    Not only that K is being a right pain in the bum recently.Last night she was exhausted by 5.30 as she refused to have an afternoon nap. I put her to bed at 5.30 and she went straight to sleep no problems. 8.30 came and she woke up crying. it was about 9 after numerous attempts to get her back to sleep that we just gave in and brought her downstairs. 10.45 she went to bed and finally went back to sleep...:wall: Saying that she did sleep through til this morning but this is getting ridiculous! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

  • HAd a look for more Wii deals on dial a phone yesterday and they have disappeared, can still get DS lite or PS3 though but I don't want the former and didn't think the deal stacked up for me for the latter as I want the PS3 more than I need a phone. Anyway looks from an email I received this morning that Mobileshop are trying to get in on the act and they are giving away Wiis + Wii Sports too. Again the deal doesn't really stack up for me as I don't really want to be tied in to that kind of contract but it might help someone. I think I am going to bite the bullet and buy one but maybe not until the Christmas madness has passed. It just looks too much damn fun to miss out on. The PS3 would take more persuading for DH cos of the price (let's hope it comes down a bit) although he would prefer the format I think.
