WT+? Oh, now there's an idea. Really expensive, though. But then no, maybe not so bad when the sales are on. And you mean that I could use some of those neglected miles to upgrade from there? To Club? Wow! This is clearly the beginning of a long slippery slope though ... suddenly it's worth paying £35 extra for an I-class fare (what's one of those?) and finally clinching Silver into the bargain.
But it's gone too far now. I find myself standing in Tesco, looking along the freezer cabinets to spot the location of the beef. The beef what I wouldn't normally give a first glance to, let alone a second!
And when did I know that I was toast? When I looked at my till receipt, saw the 250 bonus point, and an involuntary smile crossed my face.
It's all your fault, all of you!
Ditto all the way. But I knew this morning that I had gone too far and crossed some sort of threshhold, when I drove 15 mins out of my way to a larege Tesco and stood in silent disbelief at the empty shelf in the freezer cabinet; which had presumably not been refilled since I emptied it only yesterday afternoon.
I am in desperate need of therapy and would greatly welcome any recommendations as to to how to kick this habit. Perhaps a PM to dnw, who seems to have managed it, might do the trick ....
