    Quilted or not, I'd want there to be a little helper pop out of each of these for that price - their mission in life would be to cook and clean for me throughout Christmas and New Year and then go back in their box up the loft for next year!

    I would hope that for £1000 they would do international delivery. One helper I would want 2. One to cook and the other to pick me off the floor once the bill came through!
    Current debt - £16,300 :(

    F&M have been doing £1,000 crackers for at least 3 years that I know of. However they do have cheaper ones for the less affluent amongst us.

  • Well, other than maybe some hand made sweets/truffles just before Christmas I'll do (courtesy of the OS recipes), that's all my presents bought. (I blame MSE for making me so organised :p )

    The meat is ordered and the veggies are on order as well, both arriving a couple of days before Christmas.........I guess I can put my feet up for the next month!!!! :D

    My Christmas office party will be erm.........quiet this year. As I'm working from home self employed this year it's a party for 1!!! I guess I at least get to choose where I go, what I eat and who I sit next to!! :rotfl:

    Hi y'all.. Not been around much cos my NEW power lead for my lap top has broken and I can't get on t'internet at night now!

    Only when I am at work and I am mucho busy since having time off poorly. Shamelessly begging now but if anyone has a 19v dell power lead that they are not doing anything with could I borrow it till I remember my log in for ebuyer and send this faulty one back. I am so lost without my internet at night.

    Although I might have to start revising now. My first exam in two weeks and have yet to open a book.

    Mupeteer what have you got an exam in then!

    IA - what are we going to do with you........

    I think I can see what your next challenge is going to be. (after the car of cours):rotfl: bagsy coming to the house warming.

    I heard them talking about this the other day on Chris Evans show and apparently if you are within London they can deliver by horse and carriage... do buyers wanting this really exist?
