Decided to treat myself to a long-desired copy of the complete "Upstairs, Downstairs" TV show with some holiday money.

So 100 mins on a phone for a $6 coupon ... you've just priced out your time to $3.60/hr. That's less than minimum wage! You should ask for a raise. ;-p

But that said, Upstairs, Downstairs is cool.

Spent at least 1/2 an hour-40 minutes on the phone

I should have written that out as "30 to 40 minutes on the phone..." So my wages were slightly higher, but not by much. I think I still deserve a raise. :)

I am very excited about owning all of Upstairs, Downstairs, though. I borrowed the first season from Netflix, and the second season from the public library, and am excited about seeing the rest. This set even includes the "Thomas and Sarah" miniseries.
