    Yes, it's free above a certain amount.. I don't do a whole lot online and during the week was the first time I bought off Amazon.. May have had a wine or two on board and f"ed the whole thing up.. was sick to my stomach as I realised straight away what I had done.. I'd say it cost me about 200e for 50e worth of tat.. Couldn't even look at my online banking all week and even now I can only give a quick glance and try to skip past the Amazon payments, head in sand mode.

    Yikes! I think I'll be sticking with bricks and mortar method so.

    I'm couchside. Just answered the door in my pjs where I was met with a "were you in bed"? Nope just haven't bothered to get dressed yet. I find elasticated pjs bottoms allows me to eat more freely :p

    In other news I have been informed to "not go in to the guest room because Santy has been" :D

    I love it. Simple as that. Longed to return to Mayo and to a small island all the years I was market trading etc.

    A few years ago I was chatting with three german ladies in the layby looking at Blasket. They loved the island but when I said I was seeking to live islanded, their faces changed to horror!

    As you say we are each different. Problem is when folk read my words as if they were there! Know what I mean? Here I am HOME. My worst night here was when I got stranded on the MAINLAND by the weather!

    I would gladly live on an island Grace. To just pack it all in and find myself a little cottage beside the sea with hardly another person around :) You are lucky to have found home.

    Over the last 18+ months, every time ( yes, every time ) that I tried to order something from Amazon UK it has been flagged as not deliverable to Ireland. Weirdly, Amazon DE & ES didnt seem to have such restrictions on the same products :confused: but of course no free delivery for order over €X from DE or ES.

    So now use it as a price indicator and product review site. Thanks very much Mr Bazos:rolleyes:

    Deskside after spending the day being a terrible patient. Now to whinge my way through the night. Not here though, here i am invincible

    Amazon shopping is much better with address pal. I get it to the house (don't get out much) for E5. 99 and bigger things for a little more. It's well worth it. I got the elsa bike for E125 delivered as I couldn't get one in smyths or argos and don't have the time to go hunting for one. Otherwise I have the prime because I used it in Crumlin for TV and movies when Netflix was crap :D last order in next week, instax camera and film and more books.. Step. Away. from. the. app (I also got a 200ml bottle of ckbe for st17 and wrapped it for me and put it under the tree :D)
    I'm still on the couch. ;)
