Just nipped to the library on behalf of Mrs D only to witness one of life's coincidences.
Mrs D had ordered 2 books by a particular author. After getting them stamped a lady said "excuse me but I think they are mine as I ordered them".
Librarian said "no, dont worry, your 2 copies are here waiting" (she had ordered the same 2 books and was picking them up at exactly the same day & time).
Then......
The lady said "excuse me, but if your wife enjoys that author then I recommend this one that I have just returned"
So I duly got that one stamped and knowing I would be getting Brownie points for the extra book, returned home with a smile.
Only for Mrs D to say "why did you get that one......I have just returned it".
Sometimes a man has to realise he just cannot do things right :blush:

Did you explain that she could have returned the other two at the same time, for no extra cost?

Barnet,
Just been to the bedding shop as our current mattress as come to the end of it's days. It is very lumpy and my back hurts like hell when I wake up. £699, down from £1499 if the discounted/sale is to be believed. A pocket sprung 1600 spring model. It is being delivered on Wednesday so we shall see what the difference according to my back is.

You can't beat a new mattress, we changed our one after 10 years. Got the new one in Pearsons sale, one of their finest.
