no problem me dear

Currys may have a few if they're closer, but the purple lot will have a better selection. They're both owned by the same company.

PS - Treat any product advice you may get with caution. Some sales guys know what they're talking about, many more sadly don't.

I'd second Mark's comment; PC world may have a good selection and could be easier for your family if they do need to return etc... but do a bit of internet research beforehand, know what's out there, the costs and most importantly - whether it is capable of what you want it for.

I wouldn't rely on the salespeople's opinions on things, or you could easily find yourself parting with more notes, for features that you won't use/need.

Oh man! You couldn't have that if you have kids or animals. Just imagine the *SMASH* as it all collapses!

When I was walking to work this morning I noticed someone had a tree and decorations up in their window already. It's the 4th November for pity's sake, I wanted to smack them upside the head for being so ridiculous.

Did you notice the Everton shop had their tree up last Monday (9/11)? Made me laugh when I thought about your post, the thought of you smacking old ginger-boy upside the head

Heh, I could never hit the Moyes-iah, the man is a legend

Kitten · 16-11-2009, 23:01

I could if you want?

TinkerBell · 16-11-2009, 23:07

Oh yes, Christmas is on it's way. I have now made 5 christmas cards

Mostly with the new things I bought at the craft show in the NEC

I have been bad though and bought some more stamps. BUT they will make AWESOME Christmas cards! I am a sucker for crafting stuff

Mark · 16-11-2009, 23:21

I doubt I could do craft stuff to save my life (I struggle even to cut a straight line), so I cheated and bought a big box of ready-made 'craft style' cards several years ago when they were new. Now everyone seems to sell them.

I know - they're probably made in a sweatshop in China or somesuch - but they were unusual at the time.
