You just cost me £40! mad

My neice is going to be over the moon! My Wife less so...
What did you get?

biggrin
A damn hamper!


Still mad

I realise that I could get it cheaper if I went to the cash and carry but I couldn't be bothered and my Niece's birthday is in 3 days... so really I've been saved... all worth the money!

If the link doesnt work do a search on JL for 'Auraglow' . . .
Well I gone done it! Purchased two for a couple of wall up-lights in the Living Room. Certainly not bright, nor cheap, but perfect for backlight tv viewing. Aim the one remote just right and you can have them different colours depending on mood! . . .

I'm now reserving the right to change their classification from frivolous to frivolously essential . . .

Introducing 'Bump'






Brought him home last night and after charging he spent an hour arguing with furniture that wouldn't get out of his way. Its so determined to get where it wants to go, it reminds me of my mothers tortoise which assumes if its head can get though a space its body can as well.

'Bump' spent 5 minutes trying to work out how to get under the sofa before he gave up and just rammed his way under. It It worked and he was delighted to be scurrying around under there. Smart git couldnt get out though, so it let out a pathetic whiney beep and demanded to be rescued.
