i persuaded them I didn't want it, but had to sign a disclaimer that they would not be liable in any way, such as getting me back home if anything happened to me 100s of miles away.
That’s a shame Mr M do you never want to travel
No, not anymore to be honest Lynn.That’s a shame Mr M do you never want to travel
Aww that’s lovely you took your parents, yes there are some great places to visit in the U.K.No, not anymore to be honest Lynn.
But I do travel in the UK and there are some lovely places to see (some I'd never even heard of) so I don't feel short changed at all.
One example is The Falkirk Wheel that I visited last year. I hadn't heard of it all until I my parents said they would like to go so I took them last year. I really enjoyed it too.

I love the way some retailers tell you to deal with the manufacturers when there is an immediate problem . The buyer enters into a contract with the seller - they effectively agree to sell it to us and we agree to pay. We're not talking about getting spare parts from the manufacturer in the future - this is clearly a point of sale issue where the product is not fit for purpose or not as described.
I saw that one a while ago, and I was flabberghasted! We all have different tastes of course, but if you are into a lot of ornaments and trinkets, you really are better off buying in a bricks and mortar shop where you can see the stuff for yourself. Quality and finish can vary wildly and you'd pick up the one that isn't scratched or wonky, buy it online and it's in the lap of the Gods!
I've just watched the video. Words fail me!
I have to admit, that I did wonder that too. Either she'll have the most terrible withdrawal symptoms and go completely mad and order about a year's worth of stuff in one go when she returns - Or she'll be ordering stuff non stop from the ship and have stuff delivered to a friend or relative's address, if she's got house sitters in, even better cause they can take in the parcels OR she'll see all the sights and realise that there's a lot more to life than spending money on tat!
A couple of times in the past I’ve asked my gas and electricity suppliers to refund some of the credit I’d built up, and reduce my direct debit. I don’t like my money being held by any organisation other than a bank ! Not sure how they would respond now though, during this mess.Chatting to a friend at the weekend, I mentioned how I have a good amount of credit with my gas, meaning I can turn it on when cold. She said I need to be careful as if something happened to me, it would be lost! Thanks, so I might just drop dead and loose the credit on my gas.
After seeing that dreadful obelisk, I briefly thought about what my husband's reaction would be if he came home to find this stuck in our hallway (Christmas or not) and to be honest I'm pretty sure what he'd say would not be repeatable, and certainly not printable! Funnily enough, her original video for this (the one where she unwrapped it, said it was disappointing but would do a full review later) for the first time ever she said the price in hushed tones in case her husband over heard! I'm guessing that he's quite a mild mannered guy and that they've got an agreement that she can adorn the house in whatever manner she chooses, just so long as she doesn't complain that he spends too much time on the golf course or watching the sport on tv with a bottle of scotch to hand, also that the dusting is down to her!!! She has actually decided to return her wonky bush, and again mentioned her husband who pointed out that it was squashed and damaged and had she seen it in a shop, would she buy it? If that's how he put it to her then a mild mannered guy, he most certainly must be. Without making my husband sound like a Neanderthal (he's far from it btw) he'd say, FFS look at the state of it, I don't know why you're even considering keeping it, use your brain - send it back!
I love Osprey but only from TK Maxx. They mainly used to be mock croc but have diversified their style in the last few years. I bought 2 bags in TK Maxx years ago and paid £69.99 each, I think the original was over £300, I wouldn't have paid that obviously. I've picked up a couple of purses as well, they often have that brand in stock. I've not looked at Ideal World's selection or prices. Osprey have a shop in London but I've never been in.
I did just that a couple of weeks ago.My credit was quite an amount so it is now back in my bank, I can use it to top up my payments if I need to.It is not going to be spent on anything else.
