    Ye gods...it gets much worse.

    Insurance company referred me to their agents to replace laptop (bearing in mind my mitigation attempts for data recovery (i.e £950) are NOT covered it would appear)

    Their agents are saying that until I return the laptop to them "IN IT'S ORIGINAL CONDITION IMMEDIATELY FOLLLOWING CUP OF COFFEE DISASTER" ....nothing is going to happen.

    So now i have to get the Data Recovery people to "reinstate" the non-functioning hard drive back to it's original "f,u.c.k.ed. condition......, send it back to me, re-assemble laptop (Z please note your input will be required :D)... and send it off to "their agents"..oops and pour a new cup of coffe into it.......before have a hope in hell of getting any type of judgement on whether or not I should be re-imbursed/replaced.

    Oh boing..can't be arsed......will just chill out on this one and see what ha\ppens..sorry peepies no fight left :o


    This is ALL wrong....

    I think I'd be at the strawberry delight too, Wol. Hope your journey's going okay, anyway.

    I am glad its not just me who eats Strawberry Angel Delight in times of stress. I wonder whatever happened to the Butterscotch one as I haven't seen it for years.

    Is it worth claiming for the laptop? The insurance peeps seem to be nincompoops - fancy asking for it back in its orginal coffee filled state:rolleyes:

    Chin up though Wol - you're doing great:D

    Mmm Angel Delight - thats a blast from the past!

    Hope you are destressing Wol and the guineas are well.

    Horse is doing really well, after the worm count came back horrifically high I rewormed her and they retested her - again very high reading. Vet has decided that as she is very old she is most likely resistant to the active ingrediants and as she is showing no symptoms of worm damage they will leave her for now and see how it goes. Hoping she does well over the winter, this is always the hardest time for her x x
