Generic Friday Evening Thread
For those who aren't frequenting the b3tawedding of the year tomorrow, what are you up to tonight/this weekend?

I have been incredibly rock and roll and cracked on with (finally) painting the kitchen - to find I've not got enough of the paint to finish it and B&Q don't make it any more. I have avoided paint/kitchen related heartache by leaving a "feature" wall that shall be finished tomorrow.

HOWEVER (!), it appears I will be visiting THAT THERE LONDON with work on the 20th for the evening with my boss. Anyone care for a pint or three??

I'm having a quiet evening
As reluctantly, I've accepted that I am going to have to start my Christmas shopping tomorrow.

I want to get it all done my midday so I can go to the pub before going to football.

Excellent planning required there Jeff
I have been amazingly ordered and have about 90% of ours sorted (bar Tesco Direct and their non-delivery service)

I'm hoping to catch a Christmas tree tomorrow.
And, er, that's about it really.

Do you get a real one?

( girlinthehole, Fri 10 Dec 2010, 20:42, Reply)

Yes.
it was nearly an artificial one from Asda for a fiver this year though...

Pre-lit Asda trees FTW!

I love real trees.

They are nice.
If it hadn't been for being able to flog some old rings and get £80 for them it would have been an artificial job though...

Bloody heating, etc.

Nah, local jewellers.
Made up for the £75 scam inflicted on us earlier this week, and we're a fiver up to boot!
( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Fri 10 Dec 2010, 20:58, Reply)

I hope your persuing this scam.
If you paid by credit card then contact them and explain what happened. My mum got her money back.
( girlinthehole, Fri 10 Dec 2010, 21:00, Reply)

No, it was debit.
Rang the bank and they said they couldn't refund the money as she'd given the details to the firm. They've sent a cancellation notice to the company and cancelled the card so no more transactions can happen (hopefully) but any further removals from our account will continue to be honoured until the 7th january when the 30 day notice period expires.. after which they will gladly refund any more payments. :/

I played on my mum's age and that they hoodwinked her.
Pretended she was some dotty old woman who didn't know any better which is not really far from the truth. *grins*

The phone number on the website doesn't work
And emails are not replied to, according to the consumer website I visited.

One to chalk up to experience, although I'm pretty annoyed she fell for it in the first place.

Just some stupid low cost trial thing for £2.48.
Cancelled within 14 days but they still took £75 anyway. Cunts.

I do.
Usually, orange juice, cranberry juice or tonic. Tonic water tends to leave my mouth dry and I get sick of it after a while. I also like the odd shot of vodka to sink down.

It's stupid best friend's stupid birthday and even though we went out on Wednesday for it, everyone has cancelled on her and so now I have to go out to the pub with her, to see our other friend's band. The band is called Recovery, which, ironically, is what needs to happen to me before I go out. Instead, I am trying to beat my liver into submission with cider and wine.
