Get home and find a suspiciously DVD-shaped package. Hmm. Price on the front shows the price of the headphones however. Open it up and find the DVD of The Girl who Kicked a Hornet's Nest. How?! I have no idea how things work inside an Amazon warehouse, but the invoice in there clearly states headphones!

I've now submitted a returns thingy and printed off a return label, but they make no mention of wether they're sending my headphones now or when they receive their stupid DVD back. It better be the former or they're getting a very nasty email.


They're usually very good with stuff like that - when my kindle broke they sent out a new one next day delivery and I had 28 days to send the faulty one back, which they refunded the postage for.

Something Fishy wrote:so chuffed we got our roof properly insulated back in October. Had wall and double glazing but it was just lost through the roof.

we're running our heating at two thirds of what they were last time it was cold and the house is staying warmer.

Toasty now in this brrrr weather.


Landlords paying to put insulation in soon. Looking forward to it - when the heating's on the place is lovely but doesn't take long at all to cool down.

Gas bill last month was £76 too, but it doesn't help when my housemate comes in drunk, puts a pizza in the oven and then goes to bed (no joke my friend slept on the couch and woke up at 6am really warm to find the oven on with a cremated pizza inside :| )

Could go down to -6 here tonight, apparently.

Staying in with heating on full, yeah. 8-)

It's not cold inside, I spent 4 hours today riding my moped to my grandparents and back, now what was cold. 4 hours to do 100 miles :fp: Kept thinking about how much quicker it would be if I was on my other bike or the car.

However, on the bright side, it seems to be all ok and hopefully ready for the charity run.

Sorry, but people making a big deal out of small mishaps like that is a pet peeve of mine.

Are you fully aware of the irony? Because I'm willing to spell it out if you'd like. It's no trouble. You just say the word.

But will it last, even when my looks start to fade? Don't toy with my fragile heart!

I'll be honest, that actually counts against you.
