Tights

Why doesn't someone invent a replacement for the bane of my life - nylon tights?

I buy a 5-pack of tights that supposedly include lycra for added stretch:
One pair is about right.
Two pairs seem to have no lycra and rip the first chance they get.
Two pairs are too small.

Fed up with the small tights fiasco, I buy the next size up:
So I end up with Norah Batty wrinkles round my ankles.
And they still keep ripping.

Someone invents ladder-resist tights:
Now you'd think that was a good thing wouldn't you?
Well you'd be wrong!
Because instead of a ladder, you get a hole.
A big hole.
Which gets bigger and bigger until it meets itself coming back.
And then the foot falls off.

Just in time

I remembered this evening that the 0% for 10 months special offer on my credit card runs out in a few days. So I have just transferred £1900 from the savings account where I had been keeping it safe to my current account, then rang the credit card company and paid the balance off using my debit card. It will only take two days to clear and they said that they will backdate the payment to tonight, so the balance will be cleared about 3 days before the offer runs out.

Isn't PC banking great?
