This bottle (it had better come tomorrow) is proving to be expensive. Made one of my rare trips in town because our local hardware store is having sale and they had a bottle opener advertised for £4.99, sold out of course so had to get the next one up which cost £7.99 reduced from £14.99. Then I spotted something I tried twice to buy on line in the summer but failed miserably as it kept going out of stock, what is it you ask, its a 6 gang switched extension with surge protection, (how sad am I) for £11.99. I have a four gang with each socket switched which the lappy is on and the digital radio, and a small lamp and the cooling pad for the lappy, which is very useful as the socket where its plugged in is behind some furniture and not easy to get to. Also bought my self a new washing line as the other is starting to look a bit frayed, I've never replaced it all the 20yrs I've been here and its actually made out of rope. Treated the birds to some suet bits as well. Was only in town a couple of hours, never made it to any other shops.
Its like an Aladdins cave the store, chaotic, badly laid out, but an institution, its one of those where you can buy single wheels for your shopping trolley or baby buggy, or rubber feet for step stools, I always manage to lose one of those, spare parts for things you didn't know existed. I'm like a kid in Santas Grotto when I go in.
