Morning all. Have had a poke around online but have decided Black Friday is for people richer than me - things I couldn't dream of affording reduced to amounts that are still above my touch! :rotfl:

I suppose it would be different if I had much family to buy presents for, but I'd just be impulse buying for myself.

Goodluck to everyone who is braving it (especially in the shops :eek:), I wish you all fabulous deals

It's ridiculous isn't it :mad:
We asked before we bought it and the man selling us it looked and pointed to where the drive was in the picture (we suspected it didn't have one)
It turned out it had the flap bit for it but there wasn't one there :mad:
We took it back after a week and grumbled :mad: they even told us to buy an external drive for it!
DS needed it for school and lugging around a separate drive would have been completely impractical.
Needless to say we got a full refund in the end and a better cheaper laptop came up within a week :j

Hate it when they blatantly lie like that.

You can get external dvd that is USB powered and pretty light/slim, would easily fit in a laptop bag.

edit: should be around £15 i think, certainly under £20
edit2: some are only dvd readers though so look out if you need to record too.

Asda was pleasant but busy. You had to go in one entrance and leave from the other. You had to queue to go in and there was police by the doors at both ends, by the tv's and electrically and going up and down the checkouts :eek:

Nothing took my fancy except some bubbs/uglybugs beef

Tesco was ok, 25% ALL clothing, footwear and accessories, including stuff in the sale :cool:

I can just picture you going in at midnight and amidst rioting and looting just calmly approaching someone and asking "where's yer beef?"

morning all. hope everyone is well, glad I decided to miss black friday:eek:

thanks for the best wishes with regard ds2 job application was on the desk at 4.50 am thanks to my dds lovely partner..

ds3 causing trouble today, they did a maths test and he got one question wrong, the teacher told them to correct the answers but he told the teacher that his answer was right and the teacher had worked it out wrong:eek: teacher very unhappy said it came from a test book checked it and insisted ds3 was wrong. but he still refused to alter his answer.. he was sent out of the room and accused of being disruptive . They phoned me and my first question was he rude. No was polite and apologized for pointing out teacher was wrong but he should have backed down and corrected his work.
Second question was he wrong, Teacher said so but no one else had checked. So I asked if they could check again. They phoned back he was right and the teacher was wrong, but still insist he should have done what he was told:eek::eek:. I in no uncertain terms told them if he was polite he has done nothing wrong and the teacher made a mistake and he should have the face to admit it and ds3 was not to be punished.. But deep down I wish he would learn to keep quiet I never realised having a bright child would be so much of a challenge :o:o:o:o:o

Good for him. :T may he never hold his tongue ! :A
