    the only snag is that you will need to log back into MSE again and for seconds you will be blinded by the dazzling new MSE page layout :rotfl:

    Afternoon :wave:

    Had a bit of a headache this morning after one too many glasses of prosecco last night :o Weather been hit and miss here so just had a morning at home.
    Took DS2 to preschool open afternoon and he loved it. He really didn't want to leave. Hoping that it bodes well for September as he's never been to any childcare before. As the preschool room and reception class is free flow, it meant that DS1 was showing us around and proudly showing off his brother to all of his friends and teachers :)
    Managed to dodge a big downpour with a trip into Ts in the 20 minutes between the end of the open afternoon and pick up time. Got DH some Simoniz dash wipes reduced to 38p and a pack of nice pens for work for 63p :)

    DeeDee posted on the alphabettys yesterday. I think she may have been upset by some of the posts when things were getting a bit heated last week. If you are lurking DeeDee please do not be put off by the ill thought out comments of a few individuals made in the heat of the moment. You are a vital part of this thread and we miss you:(

    Goodness we would miss DeeDee and her amazing glitch finding skills so much! She's one of my favourites.

    Was just topping up my lawn mower with petrol on the drive, when a white van pulled up. The van was marked "Furniture Direct" and a man got out wearing a Hi-Viz vest marked "Furniture Direct" and Aviator sunglasses.
    He said they were furnishing a big house as a Show Home on a Redrow Estate nearby, but it had been sold and Redrow didn't want to kit it out anymore.
    So he had 4 beds that had been paid for and were not needed, and he didn't want to drive them all the way back to the Depot.
    He said the Site Foreman had taken a Double for himself, and said anyone local who had a genuine need could have one.
    He slid open his van and showed me a mattress. It was poly wrapped and said "Memory Foam".
    He said I could have the King Size with Base which retails at £1,999
    Although he was giving the impression it was my lucky day, and it was free, I asked how much would it cost then.
    He said "Just a drink for the boys" for setting it up.
    He showed me the base and gave it all the blah blah sales pitch.
    I asked again then how much it would be.
    He again said "Just a drink for the boys"
    He then said "there are 6 of us" :rotfl:

    And "£50 each should cover the drinks for a game on the telly" :rotfl:

    I told him I wasn't interested at £300
    He then got very pushy. "Where else are you going to get a memory foam King size for £300"

    Then he got aggressive, asking me what the problem was.
    It made me feel really uncomfortable, but he went away in the end calling me a "time-waster"!
    Would it be terribly racist to ask "did these boys have an accent?"

    That worked! Does that mean I can stay here :D
    I'll leave the APG tab open and see what happens to it when I get home.
