being folically challenged I have no need for a hairdryer. where's my rebate? I could also be persuaded to put off the hoovering if there was some financial incentive. Thereby increasing the tax burden on the vain and the tidy brigade.

Unfortunately, this is a cultural thing. Accepting blame, or admitting they can't solve a problem and the refusal of outside help has happened before.

slight hoarder - but have realised this and am getting rid of stuff week-by-week. the only 'stuff' I have now, but don't really need is my books (keeping those) and my cd's (probably keep) - am gradually getting rid of everything else - clothes, kitchen stuff, furniture etc

I have a copy of this for sale, if you want to PM me for details.

not as good as the kitchen dinosaurs though.

Got 10% off my crash helmet just asking if they could move on the price a bit. Might try a bit harder with this haggling lark. Will be putting the cash saved aside, so will see how much I get.

I want one of these. Might try the haggle down the Honda garage next weekend.... New helmet shopping tomorrow - will definitely try to haggle on that.
