Re: Being to clever

better return that diamond to pay for the new medical bills

Already suffered carrying the heavy goods, seems silly to return that one now

Every time I've seen those coupons, the exceptions have been bigger than the coupon, never been able to buy anything decent, always a bugger

Anyway food processors are heavier than I thought and this one must have exceeded the weight limit imposed on my neck by recent surgery and carrying it from the store to parking lot has done some damage. I am now in pain having woken up this morning virtually unable to move my head. Teach me to try and be cleaver

I fully agree with your wife. I always say...don't buy me anything useful or that I can plug in.

For valentines day this year I got a Zoku from Williams Sonoma - greatest gadget ever !!

How much did you have to drop to pick up that "fortune"?

My answer would be...'and you know what you can do with it my dear'.

A clue would be...the sun doesn't shine there.

$400 but i saved $80 so only $320 and the same thing in UK would have cost Â£538* so practically free - girl logic

*based on John Lewis prices at time of posting

Hmm... if you take the view that all politicians are girls, that would explain a lot about the economy...

The diamond and gold love knot necklace will keep me out of trouble for some months.

This morning only Macys had a 40% off food processors so she took the receipt back and got the difference refunded, she is doubly chuffed now.
