Nicely done Ollie!

I wish I had had that moment before they ended the offer! I could have got them ordered on behalf of my Nan and Grandad (and all their neighbours) as they were free in their area. By the time I got round to checking it was ok with them (and a couple of their neighbours!) the offer was over.
Still, managed to get one yesterday on freecycle!

Ok word for today:
This is one my Oh stumbled upon whilst looking up a different word in my son's dictionary.
He has been gleefully criticising our neighbours cupidity ever since.
Cupidity:
1 : inordinate desire for wealth : avarice, greed
2 : strong desire : lust
Wonder what gems you guys will come up with for this one.Last edited by Incy; 13-10-2009, 08:58 AM.
