I shall obey the no shopping today, got all my bargains earlier in the week.

Some of the shops in my local town started 'Black Friday' last Monday.

I had never heard of this phenomenon until recently. Is it a gimmick or a US import?

After viewing footage of so called civilised people fighting over a TV set in a Black Friday sale, Buy Nothing Day ticks all my boxes

I have just bought and used a half price Dirt Devil vacuum cleaner (40.00) from Sainsbury's. It was supposed to be an upstairs vacuum but it's so powerful, it's staying downstairs and the older on is moving upstairs.

I didn't intend to buy it today, just went food shopping as usual and it sort of jumped into my trolley. There were lots of half price goods on sale but there was no mad, stupid rush to grab things off shelves. I am pleased with myself as I've been intending to buy an upstairs vacuum for ages. Hurrah for Black Friday! Actually, its Black 'end of November' sale for Sainsbury's and many other shops.

... Tilly falls out with melv again

[Tilly2]

I had to try it out, Melv, to make sure it was ok. I can't expect Mr T to use something that doesn't work properly, can I?

So yes, I can use a vacuum but I have this little trick........

My heart goes out to Mr Tilly....

He has the life of Riley. :-)
