    I need to get a smartphone in the next month or so... clicked the link but was deafened by the WHOOSH noise as what was on there went right over my head :(

    I'd like a phone with a keyboard, that has the biggest screen possible and longest battery life possible and lets me have 1GB internet (or more) and lets me surf t'Internet.

    And I want it to have a good camera, so I can take good snaps with it.

    Sounds just what i'm after but it has to run on Orange which has a good deal at £10 per month (not literally a contract, a sort of rolling PAYG-type deal apparently).

    It's for a family member, not m'good self btw.

    I'm happy with an alcatel touchscreen OT 708 on Asda PAYG. I struggle to spend £5 per month, and if I wanted more services I'd be looking at giffgaff. Any better advice very welcome.

    Yes, I'm popping into Tesco at lunch. I need a new energy saving bulb for the hallway, it just died yesterday evening. Aren't they supposed to last for 10,000 years or something? :mad:

    As long as you don't switch them on, or worse, try to read by them!

    I think the bad sleep and weird dreams were the onset of not being very well. I feel dreadful now, it feels like someone is sitting on my chest, I can't clear my throat and it really hurts to cough. :(


    Just finished Rules of Civility by Amor Towles though. Good book. Trying not to fall asleep now, it's a bit early, sigh.

    As delayed valentines meal i think i am going to make gnocchi fritti for dh tomorrow. I have never made them, but we love them. When i first had these in italy io was bowled over, and cannot understand why they are not more widely known and eaten.

    I very rarely fry stuff, let alone fry stuff with lard in it so i am a little apprehensive but it has to be done i have decided.
