    -Hi folks, not been around a few days due to computer horror. Been using back up laptop for a while as netbook faulty and didn't have time to take it for repair. Was reading this thread on thursday when i managed to pour a full cup of tea over lappy :eek:
    Took both to trusted local repair shop and neither salvageable :(

    So yesterday was expensive as I stupidly decided to buy an iPad :eek:
    Ok its nice , but i bought it thinking I would save on not getting an e reader as well as a netbook but it seems my library does not do e books for iPad. Also may not be able to do some surveys on this either :(

    Only good thing is I know I would have succombed at some point and ended up with netbook and iPad and I got a good deal only paying cost price.

    So my list for today :HC x1 dry on airers
    Ring mum on free minutes
    wrap xmas pressies bought at outlet yesterday (yesterday was so not a nsd! but got fabby bargains at outlet)
    meals from stores
    not going to kwik fit for tyre but arrange to take time in lieu at work tommorow and go to trusted local tyre centre
    keep a check on ebay and ebid sales and get them ready for posting sold a little mre than i expected so pleased
    sort out stuff for post office 0% card , need a check for money laundering !
    sort out details for post office isa , need to shift money out of emergency fund to pay for this blinking thing.:eek:
    lots of cleaning and tidying to do well the kitchen is hygienic again
    list broken netbook and lappy on ebay as spares/repairs - done well on this in past sold one already on buy it now for as good as i could have expected leaving it to run
    keep heating off as much as possible
    GET MY LAZY !!! OUT OF BED

    Have also entered some points on coke zone and cravendale ad entered some competitions but not very lucky at the mment.
    At least today has been a NSD


    Enjoy the rest of your weekend folk , at least there is no rain today.
    When it rains look for Rainbows
    When its Dark look for Stars

    Hi there

    quiet day but so far a LSD ( although OH and I may go out for a pint at pub later..) just bit at the supermarket on top up groceries like cheese and eggs.

    Used bits and bobs from freezer and dinner I cooked yesterday. HM flapjacks for school lunchboxes/snacks as we spend too much on muesli bars etc. OH finishing off DIY. Stayed in and watched family movie that had been uncovered in tidying up spree;). All good stuff.

    Have a good evening all
