    I still have a set unopened. I managed 2 think I actually paid £1 for them before they went to 4p but you are right wash really well. :)

    That's exactly what happened to me, I paid £1 and then they were 4p the next day :rotfl:
    I still have the bottoms, the tops were threadbare so I used them to polish the car :D

    Well I'll start the thought of the day off then.....

    I once went to a funeral and it was not until the end of the wake when we had eaten a wonderful meal that I realised the deceased was not the person who's funeral we should have attended....and yes I did confess to the next of kin who thankfully saw the funny side.

    George foreman once beat me to buying an original artwork at an art gallery in St Lucia.

    I always eat the crusts of sandwiches first and work inwards to the middle....have done since a yongster and it's a habit I cant break.

    Who's next.....

    A few weeks ago there was an off on MSE of a £25 gift voucher for applying for an M&S credit card via Martins link - you had to use your credit card within 30 days f receiving it I think.

    Well, I've got my card but there is no mention at all of the voucher or its conditions and their customer service people are extremely vague about it and are now saying that the offer was only for 'selected' customers !

    I can't find Martins newsletter details - can anyone remember anything about this ? I wasn't expecting to get the voucher with the welcome pack and realise I have to use the card first but I had a load of hassle a while back when I transferred a bank account to M&S via an MSE link and they denied all knowledge of the promised £125 gift card offer ! Looks like this offer may be going wrong as well.

    I've just managed to locate the T&C's so they better not try and get out of this offer !

    I onced went to a party but went in the wrong house...... too much alcohol to realise they were not hiding. When we found an elderly couple in bed we quickly sobered up......and ran.

    I once stole a lipstick from woolworths....i felt so guilty yrs later i sent the £10 anonymously.

    I once had to do the walk of shame out of a babychanging room......

    I wonder if i would get the job:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
