Morning all

Question for the Argooooos testers amongst us - who do they use to send out products and is there a normal length of time for things to be sent out.
I requested mine on the 22nd Of November and no sign yet - yes I have checked the porch and the recycling bin (hopefully its not in the black bin which is full of cat litter, poo, dead mice and fire emptyings )

I've sent them a message - probably its me being far too keen.
I noticed coffee on shopimum and wondered if it was the correct version ...

(I am in the middle of a massive To Do list, catch up later - if you see me here again before lunch shout at me

Afternoon

The one and only thing i managed to get was the mop and bucket ,that took 2 weeks to arrive.

Having said that i love it:T

Just applied for the lego and been accepted .

Good Afternoon All
Glad to see everyone is safe and Christmas preparations are going well.
Enjoy seeing all your pictures and reading your stories.
Hope everyone has all the gift sets they wanted.
Think I have gone a bit overboard, as not many presents to give and will have several left over. Have run out of room to store them, and don't do car boot or ebay. Mum has also been supplied with plenty for any presents she wants to give, which of course I will have to wrap and deliver.

Just me at home, so don't bother with any decorations myself

Had a problem with the heating over the weekend, had it on all day and couldn't get the house above 13* .
Before anything else I tried to claim on my house insurance emergency cover and was amazed when they said I was actually covered and would send someone out :j

Have just been and all they can think is it is the thermostat, as boiler working. which is what I suspected. Expected them to fit a new one, but no. By-passed the old one to see if that works, but chap doesn't think they will pay for a new one, if that solves the problem :mad:

Afternoon all! Hope you're all keeping safe and warm.

My first working from home day today! :j

I have a present challenge, should you choose to accept it...

My mum has asked for an address book that's small enough to easily fit into her handbag. Im having unexpected difficult with it, I can only find large ones, spiral bound ones or boring black leather ones. Are there are any which are around A6 size with no spiral and a nice pattern, for a reasonable price?

Was a chilly start here today at - 0.5 but no de-icing needed, not one spot of frost on the car. It's a very balmy 4 degrees now so hopefully we have escaped unscathed from this cold snap.

I think DD and Co are probably having a snow day, lovely pics sent last night of kids sledging, and she reckoned then that the car would be iced-in this morning.

Hope you are all warm and dry and safe.

I've come home to £6 off a £30 shop at T's plus a couple of £4 ones to use in the run up to Xmas, so that's nice.
