Evening all

I have had a few NSD lately as to be honest i have nowhere to stash anything my stash places are full
I never buy anything for myself and i don't drink or smoke so I decided to spoil myself. Or maybe i am going through a midlife crisis and don't know it :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
I have always wanted a good quality sound system so i decided to bight the bullet and purchased this lot.
Just installed it and the sound is amazing told my OH it did not cost that much

Wow I bet they do sound fabulous too ...many moons at least
25 years ago my OH was wanting some really expensive
speakers as his real love was music... so I secretly bought
them for him in the middle of the year not a birthday or
Christmas in sight ...the look on his face was priceless ...where
as I can listen to a car radio crackling away on my journey with
out any bother it all sounds the same to me0 -

I understand this one. I was 8 when I was introduced to a+b=c. I was so traumatised that I was unable to learn any more maths!
:o:o:rotfl:
It pays to have a picking store just down the road... can check stock before ordering
So, ignore ofsted ratings and crime in your area.. just settle for a near by asda :rotfl:
True..
I had been to the store and saw the 350... god knows why they gave me a totally different one!
p.s. never truly believe the statistics on crime rates in an area, or anything what ofsted state (I should admit that a have a number of friends who work for them!)

My second and final walkers voucher arrived today :T
After they refused my first in my local asda last time, i may just take the pee
We have 'bought' meat/pizza and a pk of Walkers.
Only had problems once.
I have 14 to use, and DS2 (aka the bravest trout beater ever) is going to Slovenia, so I will have to go alone!:eek::eek::eek:100
