    We've wombled a TV. My son has a friend who is studying here and has gone home for the summer. He couldn't take it with him so gave it to us. I said I would store it till he came back in September but he said no he would just buy a new one then (his family are very rich). It's only 7 months old. Don't know where we're going to put it - house is already full of techie things.
    Have adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.

    Hi!

    Although I joined MSE ages ago, I'm basically a newbie on the forums. I don't fully understand this all yet (especially confused by everyone's signatures!). But I have a terrifying amount of debt, so I hope to become a regular on DFW - and this competition looks like a fun one to help me get to grips with it all. Can I join?

    Nice work TF! How ridiculous that they'd just leave a new TV!

    Of course you can, please do.

    What do you want to know about signatures? Ask away.

    Hi Bob
    He comes from Kuwait so couldn't take it with him and he was living in rented accommodation. I would have been happy to hold on to it for him till became back but he said to keep it. Very generous of him.

    Nice telly womble TF - lucky thing!

    Welcome to the wierd and wonderful world of wombling Kumamon. All thrifty souls loved by us :)

    I wombled a double 13.5tog duvet yesterday. Brand new, never used. My friend ordered the wrong size (she needs kingsize) and she said she couldn't be bothered to return it. Ta muchly. I did swap her some eggs, so both parties were happy. I'm claiming £8 for this.

    Not much else to report.
