Packet of cookies with seven cookies in it. That's just the worst number of cookies. Why would you have a prime number of cookies? So you can't share them evenly between two, or three, or four people/portions. Stupid. Put eight in so you can share evenly, or nine and you've got three lots of three, or even six would be fine, but seven - who's idea was that? Daft.

To be honest I'm confused about the whole idea of sharing packets of cookies! When did that sort of madness start?

His mortgage for example, he saved 4500 in repayments for 3 months say. His monthly new payment is 15 quid more now. Yes, he will pay it back eventually, but I wouldn't mind a cash injection like that at mortgage rates and terms....

we took advantage of that, costed us £15 pm i think.......... but I overpay by £105 so now only overpay by £90... so my mortgage hasnt changed still £1300

the saved 3 months mortgage really gave us a nice amount to buy outright a new 7 seater for the twins
 
Our TV is 6 yrs old, I bought it the day before the start of the 2014 World Cup so I can remember the year. It's an LG, has a good picture, it's a good size. We can watch Amazon on it but not the football on Amazon. Last night we went to watch a film on Now TV and got the message there that it was no longer supported on the TV. It's not that old but it looks like it is becoming technologically obsolete.

I know the answer and I would normally enjoy the process of buying a new TV but it seems slightly before its time.
 
My new wedge is set to arrive about 20 mins after I'll have to leave to go and play golf. I just checked the driver progress map, and the vehicle was literally three minutes walk from my house - but 1 hour 45 minutes by road apparently. I was almost tempted to run out there and flag him down!

Buy a cheap NUC PC with Win10, load Netflix, Amazon, Now TV and anything else you want on it and stick it behind the TV.
Miles cheaper than upgrading to a new TV and far superior to anything built into modern TV's plus it will be updated for years.
If you want it on a different PC just pick it up and plug it in, they're tiny!
 
When you get notification pings on your phone yet when you check what it is there is nothing there at all. Happens regularly. An app that wants to communicate yet retain anonymity??

Think it’s because electrical goods are only really covered for 6 years under consumer goods act. After that they don’t have to.
 
Having my worst competitive round ever in the first round of the club champs. That in itself was mildly irritating but is being compounded by the fact that the second round was postponed a week due to the weather and the humungous whiteboard with my horrendous score is still up in the clubhouse!

Embrace it, you're just giving the opposition a sporting chance!

Trying to watch the sport on TV this afternoon and the little darling next door decided to start kicking a ball against the side wall of our house. When I put my head outside after about 10 minutes the idiot father said "it's only a little ball". In which case matey you won't mind your sun kicking it against your wall once you've moved the bins and all that crap against the side of your house. Thought not.
