Go on, you know you want to

I set off at 6 am, and got home at 9.15 pm.... and I should be working now, whilst also figuring out where/what I am doing tomorrow... well I know what/where I should be, but as there is 90 miles between two places I should be at the same time I need to figure out what is achievable....or which one I will get into less trouble if I don't attend.... and send e-mails to the not achievable one and say 'I am not coming' lol

Thanks Di, I have been trying and failing to post a link. The one he has posted me is a white gold, but platinum is nicer, it has 1 carat from helzberg diamonds for 3,999 usd. x

If you really are buying abroad, make sure you don't get stung for tax when you fly home.

Happened to me as well. Had a Kindle fire delivered and we found it in the shed with the packet broken and the charger etc missing. When I logged on to Amazon it said I had signed for it. I was not pleased

Years ago I bought a posh set of bedding from a catalogue. They billed me. I said I had not received it. They sent me a new set. Months later OH when into the tenfoot to find the parcel had been thrown over the gate.... I ended up with two lovely sets (although I felt guilty, I fought the desire to return one set!)... :D:D

I've decided, at this late stage, with my apologies, not to bother with M tomorrow but to take a week off. I can't keep travelling out at the moment - this will reduce the cost of doing so and enable me to focus on other things away from here at points during the next week. So, 'fraid you'll need to check msm/m.com for whatever is on there. So, I'm intending the next time to be 1st February. I am expecting quite a bit of change in M tomorrow, but I will catch up later and see how it goes.

I know I'll feel out of the loop for a week now:rotfl:.

Thanks but he will get it delivered to whichever country he is in at the time in the middle east.

The special lady is from Singapore so she will not fit our taxation system.

Someone I know bought two rings from this company when in america, wore them to return and got back okay, they are beautiful rings but were very very expensive.... I would have a heart attack with that amount of money on my hand.

:D:D:D:D

Conflicting interests:rotfl:. Four or five reasons in favour of not spending time at M tomorrow and one or two in favour of doing so. A rational decision, as is very often the case with me.

It 'fits better' (into everything else around me) for the next time to be later. I'll just have to be out of date. There's no "problem" going tomorrow as I could do if I had decided to. There will be a problem in early March though - week of 6th March - as I have other things to sort out around then. Bet that'll be a big end of offers week:((:rotfl:) - never mind, I will have to catch up later!:cool: M do seem to be ending more offers on Tuesdays lately - I'd have to do part of another day on Thursday (coming) if I was to go out tomorrow as my stores on what was to be Wednesday (and still is except that I'm not going:rotfl:) were not expected to have a couple of ranges of products, although I'm also not able to find offer expiry dates as easily as used to be the case (including products like these, that are not online). That will now be the case on 1st February - as I'm expecting to have to visit a couple of other places on 2nd February for the same items (my partially-planned stores for tomorrow will now be, eventually, fully planned for 1st February so will be the same as I have been envisaging but not yet fully decided on). At least the days out are not as 'bunched up' (to the last time) as would have been the case had I gone tomorrow.

Savvy, do not go to M tomorrow.

Can you pretend to be me and go to Leicester for me please? x

I'll keep an eye out for you

3dogs did you go to pb the other day?

I did lts, the garage dropped me off by Passport Office about 10.30 so I looked around the market (that's changed a lot ) then down the Bridge Street/LowCauseway. Had free coffee in Greggs then went into Queensgate. Bought a couple of bits in M&S (knickers ) and then into Boots where they had LOADS of stuff out for 70% sale but nothing for me as still too expensive hehe. Got call that my car was ready so walked back up to be picked up at 11.15. By which time, my knee was hurting so much I just wanted to go home

Off to bed for me now, night night

I did! On Friday, went to Hampton (Boots Sale & T's) then into town to A etc. Back again on Sunday for DGS's 5th Birthday. Didn't bother with B Sale in Queensgate as was manic last time I went, civilised at Hampton but it was about 11am, they said it was hectic with a lot of rude, greedy people:(
