Gift wrapped for my dear heart to give me at Christmas. Well pleased. Our huge screen TV was 'inherited' from our son who emigrated to the USA six years ago so no need to search the bargains. It's not all bad on black Friday. You just have to know what you want/need and compare prices. Or leave it alone. Don't get stressed. elegancemaisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10043236515999573762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-70011951747317184752018-11-23T04:25:09.074+00:002018-11-23T04:25:09.074+00:00I was watching TV last night, and an ad' came ...I was watching TV last night, and an ad' came on for a kitchen manufacturing Co called 'Wren', who were advertising 'BLACK NOVEMBER'.
