    Aaahh! I needed that Wii

    Got one, get in!

    Now the dilemma. Do I selfishly keep it for Number One son's Xmas pressie or do I offer it via eBay to some other poor kid who hasn't got as resourceful a Daddy? Obviously there would have to be a bit of a premium to cover my costs.

    What do you think?

    You're a contractor and you haven't got your kids a wii already?!!!!

    I got my lad one in March!!

    You're not resourceful - you're disgraceful!!! You should be disgusted with yourself


    (yes I'm going a little OTT here, but I'm really really bored!)

        What level of boredom ? I'm also struggling quite badly, I had an extra cake for lunch, bad move !

        I've got kids who are obviously pre Wii because I don't even know what one is.

            I explained it at the time but yes everything is pretty much level 2 ie. pretty flipping mind numbingly bored but can just about cope

            I have started dreaming of not getting a renewal, I fear I will be disappointed though so I'm not getting my hopes up.

              What would you do if you didn't get renewed? Woudl you live the life of leisure for a while?

                You have a son? Something you've not told us about SA?

                  Got it from 'Game' in The Trafford Centre. They've run out again but the lad in the shop told us they'd have some more in on Friday if we wanted another one (and before anyone asks I'm going to be 100miles + away from the TC on Friday). We phoned them this morning and they said they'd put one aside for us which was nice of them (got the wife to do that - better for the sympathy vote).

                  The going price on eBay seems to be about £280 for the basic £180rrp package.

                    Female Geordie over 16. Kind of taken as read that there's going to be at least one 'bairn'.
