Merry Christmas Mr D, and best wishes to Mme D.

I’m no longer allowed to buy anything that falls under the gadget category. Apparently, the other half is fed up on a new iPhone or iPad or laptop or the TV. I replaced our old TV last November but I forgot to turn off the new TV startup banner so having replaced it I fell down at the last ‘don’t let them notice you’ve changed it’ hurdle but as I’m the one that saves myself 100’s of hours a year trying to resolve technical issues by replacing the older dodgy stuff I recon I might make another Christmas before I get the ‘Last Warning’ look thrown in my direction.

Although, if my email inbox is anything to go by I could save a fortune or even win for free on iPads, toothbrushes, and TV’s if I just fill in my details in this online form...

"I was a child, as my Dad unilaterally decided that the family would live in a chilly, damp 1930s house that had never been redecorated since its construction."

Dunno what they were doing in the 1930's, mate, but that sounds more like the Victorian terrace house I grew up in.

The French will understand you losing the Easter Eggs after forgetting where they were secreted. Their police did it with explosives at Marseille airport after their dogs failed to find them. I have just starting playing with a camera remote control present that the manual claims "Our unremitting strive power is for increase your interested of photography". What could possibly go wrong? Seasons greeting from across Le Channel.
