Amie and I found Argos. This is one of those mixed blessing moments. Argos is like Amazon except they really perfected the "instant gratification" concept. Basically you walk into a small store front where they have 1000 page catalogs with everything you could ever want. This morning for example Amie needed an ironing board and iron. Great!. You write the item number down out of the catalog. Then you head to the little console, enter it, pay and proceed to the pick up area.

Within minutes your item pops out on the conveyor belt and you take it home. For the necessities this is unbelievably convenient, it's two blocks from our house and like I said, you can get just abo

ut anything! The down side is like the ready access to pubs I'm going to become a drunken shopping alcoholic. Leave work, have a few pints, stop by Argos and pick up a plasma tv, fuzzy slippers, toe nail clippers, a tent and a power sander. Self restraint however is not needed. The new flat is so small I would fill the whole thing up in two days. I guess it's nice to have if you need it and we'll see what kind of random shit ends up in the house. Too bad they didn't have a buddah butter dish!
