  • Still no charger for laptop,
    Just prepared and served a buffet for 130 and made a speech in the middle. Quiet day really.
    Veeeery tired.
    Like the thought of a 90 day plan.

    Oh lol - does anyone remember last year I blew my bonus on an iPod Touch and a Bose Sounddock?

    The dock broke after about a month, and has been sat in a box in my bedroom ever since. FINALLY took it back to the shop today to get it fixed...go me!

    I checked the receipt, and I bought it on the 28th March...so it has taken almost 11 months to get round to doing this!! :rotfl:

    Procrastinate? Me?? :o

    It sounded so amazing, I just can not wait to get it back - don't really know why it took me so long but I developed a bit of a mental block, just couldn't face taking it back. :o Strange. In very weak moments, I contemplated putting it in the bin and buying a new one on interest free credit. :wall: What is wrong with me!!!!

    Luckily it has a 2 year manufacturers warranty, but I didn't know that until I read the stuff that came with it. Had it been 12 months, I would have only been inside that by 10 days! :eek:

    I soooo want the most recent Sounddock model, but at £700, it is a long way down my wishlist!

    Okay I do know why I developed a mental block - it's because I associate it with Shrek, who was the last person to use it, the last time I saw him. Must be finally getting over him, although I'm not quite there yet.
