Ever bought something you don't really need?

Pam in Bristol I don't need to, I have that radiant beauty already ;-) The milk had been somewhere in the region of £1.45 for a 4 pinter but they were doing an offer of £3.00 for 3 x 4 pinters. That was on a par with Liddl so ............................. ;-) Mike -- .................................... I'm an Angel, honest !
