Louise Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 Brilliant I don't know how I managed without one for so long She is a Roomba 530 and my dad has called her Mimi the french maid One thing though I now have a machine that does the vacuuming all you have to do is press one button and he STILL won't do the hoovering for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Hubby & I went to Tesco just before Christmas for a few foodie bits & pieces, & came back with a big flatscreen TV for the bedroom We had no intention of getting one,it just sort of happened. It has actually been a godsend - I have restricted all gaming to that TV, so don't have to hear the children playing at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Sounds great Louise! Many years ago I went to the butchers for a pound of sausages and came home with a lime green Austin Allegro (The car dealership was next door to the butchers and I was fed up my then Renault 5. Sadly the Allegro wasn't to be - OH made me cancel the deal Probably wisely ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel (& Paul) Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 When I was 17 I went into a shop to buy a shirt for my brother and came out with a husband............. Well, ok, it took us three years to actually get married Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 But thats just NORMAL Clare I know; I'm afraid that I'm not much of an example - I'm pretty strict about not buying on impulse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatsCube Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I can beat you, I went out to get wallpaper paste and booked my wedding instead. I was getting really miffed off with not being able to hang the wall paper and the house I was renovating and it all going wrong, decided to let of some steam and get some more wall paperpaste and supplies, so stopped off home to get my purse etc, and thought I would sit and have a break first and went on the computer, and somehow ended up booking my wedding. OH got home from work and I told him we were getting married in 4 months time and I had booked it and the honeymoon. I then proceeded to show him where etc. (I must stress the point that we were engagded but had not made any plans for getting married prior to that day.) Oh and on saturday I went shopping with the OH for him to get some glasses, I wasnt going to buy anything but somehow bought 2 pairs of glasses, a coat, boots, 2 tops, a pair of trousers and a necklace.

One Man Banned Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Nice to see you back Mel When we moved in here our heating packed up - in getting another company to fix the first guys bodge, we ended up with a new fireplace and fire installed and the central heating fixed too. Still, it's lovely!! A xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

little chickadee Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 We went on holiday ......................... and put an offer in for the cottage we were staying in. We said that we'd be back every year and they told us we couldn't as they were just about to put it on the market. .... All fell through in the end as they backed out. I'm really glad it did, although we were distraught at the time. This way we've still moved, but I'm nice and close to my family Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelsea Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 we are very impulsive. We went to hardware superstore for plug sockets and ended up test driving and putting a deposit down on a 6 month old Land Rover Freelander!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 How wrong I was to say that no-one was going to beat Snowy! That matches beautifully! I've been pondering about Louise's Robot Vacuum cleaner all day. I've even watched a video on 'tinterweb. It could be cleaning while I'm on the forum. Is this another example of the Omlet effect!

I found this thread so funny, you guys are so awful I sometimes wish I wasn't so sensible with money, the only things I ever do are so tiny like going out for a black jumper and coming back with a red hat Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could always name it after Him Indoors to make the hint subtle I bet that Biscuit would love to ride on one - he always tries to get on the hoover.
