    Picked up a new iron for the wife for Valentines Day in Sound Store
    today for €30 & to my absolute shock & horror I see it on an advert
    in 'The Irish Indo' today, in Dunnes reduced from €60 to €30.
    If there was a sale I'm in no doubt the the people in Sound Store
    would have marked it so. I'm puting forward the arguement that
    the larger stores are mis-leading the public, but that's old news anyway!

    Seriously? An iron?! If Fiance came home with an iron, they would be taking it out of his head!

    I would prefer a bar of chocolate :p

    I like your style! Got the girlfriend an apron and a sweeping brush for Valentines a few years back as a joke. She wasn't too happy as you can imagine!:D

    Thanks guys for all your support!
    Here was I, spoiling her to a degree I suppose by lightning
    the burden of the daily grind of ironing.
    I should have left her with the older model & left her struggle with that.
    Keep 'em in their place is what I always say & I just trying to be nice.

    NEVER AGAIN!

    I hate these flashy feckers like silly who splash out on a fancy iron and then brag about it on the inyernet. Now the rest of us have to up our game.
