Good plan - will have to leave a magazine hanging around on Thursday when she is due to come over, and then steer conversation artfully towards "what magazine do you like reading"

have lovely scarves in M&S at the mo - lots of different types for different peeps (lovely fleece ones for older folk and some beautiful silk and velvet for younger fellows)

NomDePlumPudding · 12/12/2005 14:32

Is anyone else having probs with their sky+ ? Ours won't pause and is iffy on rewinding, quite often it 'forgets' to record stuff. We've phoned sky and they told us it was a 'known problem', no 'Yes Mrs X, I'll send an engineer out asap' or 'Thank you Mrs X. Sorry, you're having probs with the service. Let me waiver the ludicrous amount we charge you each month for a service you can't use, until we can be bothered to get off our arses and sort it out'.

foxinsocks · 12/12/2005 14:33

NDP what box type do you have?
(look on the back of the sky + box)

foxinsocks · 12/12/2005 14:33
