Never got to the tip, maybe today...
Did however get tempted by a lovely dress on ebay...whoops... confessing here hurts though so that will be it!
Nice day here today so will hopefully get the bedding out and dry

Well due to feeling guilty about the dress I've just rounded up excess from petrol, a whack of this month's entertainment budget and paid another £220 to CC - maybe guilt isn't a bad thing after all...Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Well now all the spendy stuff is done I've managed to pay another £100 off, still got £60 in entertainment fund and no plans, plus there might be a wee bit extra in the petrol fund but need to wait and see what glamorous places I get sent to next week - if it's just normal office should be fine
Computer power thingy seems to have sparks coming out though so have unplugged and shall head up to see if I can get another one later.Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

It's more likely to spark if it isn't plugged together properly. If it's truly broken, then smoke is a far more likely outcome... :eek:"Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI)

Err, shall try to explain - the wire that sticks out of the plug in to computer bit seems to be broken, it wasn't charging so I shoogled (correct technical term, no?) it then there were sparks! Bought universal charger for £60!!!! hope it works...Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Ah, why didn't you just say you'd snapped the end off in the first place...
Coincidently I was looking at one of those universal ones in ASDA today. It was selling cheap, and it's probably only a matter of time..."Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI)

Well it's not quite snapped off, it's just sort of disconnected

You'll have to be careful with the next one. No pulling stuff around with it.

For the next one, loop the cable near the plug and tie the loop to the plug with either a rubber band, or with the twisty that will come with it.
If you put too much strain on the connector, the twisty will ping and fly across the room. That's a simple way of telling you you're putting too much strain on the connector... "Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI)
