Please remember you are not allowed to post in the other team's thread. This was a clear rule break from Eliza and may count against you in the boardroom.

I'm really sorry. I genuinely didn't know. It won't happen again!

Brief

Lord Sugar’s birthday is coming up and he has a long list of presents he’d like to receive. Your task is to retrieve all of the items on his list online. Once you’ve found the item from the store you would like, you must send a link to the item of the store to Karren and myself via PM. It would be a good idea to send the link as soon as possible because if the other team send the same link as yours, theirs will be used instead of yours, and you’ll have to find a new store. Please send a PM once you’ve found each item, but remember once you’ve sent the PM for that item, the price/retailer cannot be changed. Please include costs in your PM. Delivery costs should also be included. You can only include one link per item on the list (you can’t have two of one item to cover an item on the list). Each team must try and find every item on the list. Fines will be given out for any item not found, the higher the value of the item means the higher the fine. Only actual retailers are allowed - you must not use private listing sites such as eBay, Gumtree, Craigslist or the third party sellers on Amazon etc. If you would like to ask if a certain website is allowed, please PM me. The costs of the items you found and fines will be added up and the team with the highest total will be the losing team, and at least one of you will be fired. The items are:

A yellow Sari
Helium gas to fill 60 9” balloons
3D TV at least 40”
A4 Pukka Pad Project Book
Miscellaneous item signed by Kylie Minogue
A deep fat fryer
Smuckers Goober Strawberry
Business class return flight for one to Melbourne, from anywhere in Europe (March/April ’13)
A sauna cabin
Celebrity fitness DVD
Any form of Beano comic memorabilia
10 DVD-RWs

Okay, firstly welcome JJ to the team. I'm your PM. I know that last time Mercury lost partly because of my decisions as sub-PM, and I came close to getting fired. I'd understand if you were concerned about my management skills because of that, but let's move on from that, hopefully we can do well on this task and if I do anything wrong, I will absolutely hold my hands up in the boardroom.

What I would suggest for this task is that we each take separate items on the list. Emma and JJ can take three items each, and I can take four as I'm in charge and it ultimately rests on my shoulders. I would also suggest that any links found are sent to me privately rather than posted on here, as the other team might be snooping around. How does that sound?

Okay, I'm happy for you to do that. Remember, when you have found a good retailer, message me privately with the link, don't post it on here.

JJ, do you have any preferences, or would you like me to allocate you something?

Please post all your ideas (including ideas for links) in here. If the other team sends the link to myself or Karren after you have, yours will be used.

Okay, change of plan. Post links up here. In fact, post two if possible, so we have something to fall back on if the other team have chosen something first.

What does Micellanious mean?

it says Micellaneous Kylie Signed item
Miscellaneous means it can be any item signed by Kylie.

Can i do these three
Celebrity fitness DVD
A deep fat fryer
10 DVD-RWs
Emma is doing the celebrity fitness DVD, but the other two are fine. You need to choose a third.

Oh sorry, my bad because I didn't count the items. There are twelve, not ten. So we need to do four each. Can you each choose another, or shall I pick them for you?
