Looking for the silver lining

Your house will look like a palace soon SA, it must be lovely to be able to do all the improvements at last. What a great reward for getting debt free. You must be adding tons of value to it .

Good luck with losing weight, I can never decide if it's harder to be good when you're working or at the weekend :undecided

There I was relaxing in the bath - face pack on, leftover glass of cava from last night, magazine, candles and the Chill channel on the radio, this is bliss I thought, happy days

Got out of the bath, phone needed charging, plugged it in, not charging, remembered battery has been playing up recently, so looks like it's finally gone. Not happy days after all

Bah to phone

amber03

its always "one thing after another". I am one of those that a phone is just a phone. I have my DS's old iph@ne 4. One of the girls I work with is deciding when to order the ip@ne 8, tried to talk her out of it cos she only got a new phone last year. I asked her what the difference between the phones were and she didn't know. Hope u get sorted soon.x

Oh dear it's one thing after another. Hate it when things stop working. It could be an opportunity to get a nice new phone though maybe?

I've only got an iPhone 4, although I'd like a more up to date model I'm happy with it and don't really want to fork out for a new phone unless absolutely necessary. Aside from phone calls I mainly use it for listening to music, I do all the other stuff on my iPad or laptop. Had to dig out my old iPod this morning or face walking to work in silence.

The repair shop didn't have a battery in stock but have ordered me one and it should be fixed in the next couple of days. Will cost £32 which is a lot cheaper than a new phone. Mr SA has my work number for emergencies but reminded him that running out of bread/milk is not an emergency.

Mr SA had to go to doctors today for a routine check up. He went on his own so the following information may not be reliable. The doctor wanted him to go to hospital for blood tests but Mr SA refused. He seems to think the tests were for diabetes but the practice nurse does that. His blood pressure is high and his anti depressants dose has been upped as the doctor thought he was very morose. The thing is he always looks glum as his brain damage has left him with an expressionless face.

Booked two extra days holiday from work so I now break up a week on Friday Only 8 more work get ups to go

Brilliant news that you've got a new battery coming, as you say a lot cheaper than a new phone . iPhones are horrendously expensive! I wonder why the doctor wanted blood tests, hope you find out what went on.

Yes - agree re blood tests.

I'm the same as you SA though re phones. Mines an iPhone 6 which I only bought because my iPhone 3 packed up! Actually the IPhone 7 had just come out but I saved a bit by buying the old 6! i won't bother getting a new one till my current phone gives up the ghost!
