    For about 4 years I thought I was allergic to our neighbours dog. Even when our neighbours called in for a drink, I used to sneeze and thought that they must have had dog hairs on their clothes:eek:

    Then I realised that it was the Prosecco:rotfl:

    Cant believe everyone missed this, was posted on HUKD as being sold for £49.99 in argos and on argos's ebay page. Hope someone one here got one. I would have loved one as my old inherited one died about a year ago.

    Pleased I didn't see it as I would have bought :rotfl:, but I feel your loss and pain!
    I have 2 inherited Kenwood Chefs and most of those attachments in the cupboard, I use at least one of them regularly but keep the other should the first one ever die:eek:
    I was just thinking about it last week and No1 mixer must be at least 40 years old.

    I had a Kenwood Chef which was over 50 years old and idiotically allowed the feet to wear out so the motor blew. I lasted about five days before finding an identical one (though the serial number was higher so a newer one) on eBay. Wouldn't swop it for a newer model especially since you can now get new accessories for them via the web.

    Don't forget to claim 'delay replay' if your train journey was delayed.

    Thanks silvercar, I certainly will!! May well claim for my boss too as I bought his ticket.

    I'd go in and ask to exchange first, with the paperwork - even could be for same dresses but different sizes? Make sure the exchanged ones have tags. Then if they still don't fit, take those back another day.

    A much better idea than mine. Thank you, I shall remember this one.

    I also read that you can gently stroke the cat's back with a damp flannel once a day ....

    So pleased I didn't travel today :eek:

    It was wise...!!

    But the day ended well :j:j:j as I popped into S for the WKD. Forgot the tonic water etc but got WKD and also spotted that the up&go was reduced to 70p! I got two (don't dare use more than 2 coupons at a time) and she kindly just scanned them. I also got the Ecover so thank you to whoever pointed out the double cashback. Forgot the mince pies but I've a conditional spend again for T so may do better to use it there if it isn't pulled quickly.

    up&go reduced to 70p in Regent's Road S.
