    Afternoon! Just been to the fracture clinic for my finger and apparently it's not healing! Not happy! They're giving it until Monday and then they'll decide what to do. I go on holiday a week on THursday so that's going to be fun.

    On a very good note....I went to tesco and they has gu brownies reduced from £4.14 (omg i'd never pay that!) to £1 for 8. Just has one heated in the microwave and it was heaven. I'm sure i'd better have a few more to make sure that bone heals!!

    Guess i'd better start my list too xx

    Not done anything today except feed DD and look over my debts and watch the new Harry Potter film trailer (I'm starting to save now for November!) :o Should really do something though... might spend today in instead, but go for a walk later. I am so tired today.

    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Tiamai_d - I hope you don't mind me asking. Was it expensive to get your xbox fixed? We have the 'ring of death' now and DS11 is lost without it!

    The cost of a phonecall! You can do it online for free!!!!

    The xbox360 has a 3 year warrenty for the ring of death (three red lights illuminated) as it is a hardware failure.

    go here http://www.xbox.com/en-GB/support for the contact details. Even calling them is easy (English call centres).

    They email or post you out a mailing slip, someone collects it and delivers it back all free of charge.

    Remove everything from it (HDD drive and memory doodles and what not), wrap it in bubble wrap then in a plain box. Be quick though! I called them at 9pm and was told it would be 3 days for them to collect it, doorbell went at 10am next day!

    OK, temper tantrum time!!!! AOL won't answer the phone, the live help is being upgraded and I can't even log into my account area, connection tests show I'm not even getting 1mgb connection, yet I'm paying for 8!!! :mad: Oh when they answer the phone they are bloody dead!!!!

    Thanks for the link Piggers, I'm wondering if DH would be better off with a line rental phone as A, he needs a new handset, B, he spedns about £30 on PAYG and 3, I wanna laptop. :D Will have some thinks about it.

    The options are pinning, pinning, pinning, or, what the last option.... erm pinning! On the upside...at least i'm already not working because of my wrist/thumb! Also, once pinned it would heal very quickly. It just depends if they'd let me go on holiday before they pinned it...I don't think they'd get it done quick enough before I went away. Should I have kept my private health care :rotfl: .

    Pigpen - it's a major pita but i've stayed sane this long so a few more weeks... at least you lot have all kept me insane...I heartfelt thankyou to you all xx

    The cheapest deal with the free lappy is £35 a month but you get £60 cashback through quidco plus the laptop which does seem worth it.. it is an 18 month contract though BUT the handsets are unlocked to any network except 3 so can be sold on ebay and a cheaper one bought with the proceeds. We got the 6300 which is a fab little phone.. hubby has had one for a while and is most impressed with it. 500 anytime minutes and unlimited texts, plus reduced cost international calls.. so if he is already paying £30 it is only an extra £30 over the 18 months with the cashback so it is almost like getting a laptop for £30.. can't say no really.. well I can't.. lol
