Default I was most upset!

Earlier today this blinking laptop I use to keep in touch with you lot decided to crash, big styley, after lots of pushing of buttons and getting frustrated I just ignored it. Hubby and I decided it's not worth trying to fix it again and was on the verge of going laptop shopping tomorrow.

My biggest concern was how long I would be out of touch with you lot on BE

Hubby tried to see if this machine would work......amazing it's living to see another few minutes. If I fall off the radar, it's because this piece of junk has given up the ghost again.......But I will return. (Hopefully it will keep going for a bit longer though as our UK trip has depleted our funds somewhat - all that OXO I brought back).

Well, you came back from your trip, posted and then buggered off again. I was wondering where you'd taken off to.

Now, howabout selling those oxo cubes on the black market for hard cash to fund for new laptop?

So that's where you bin!! Good job I didn't email you about a visit this week then eh...you wouldn't have got it anyway!! Trucks been an absolute arse this week....can't get it into anywhere cos the garages have been chockablock due to the weather, so it's stuck on the drive now and we're having to use the banger with skiddy tyres!! Hopefully, all being well Piff, I should be able to get round to meeting up with you next week, alright!?
PS....I know exactly where you're coming from re: lack of available funds now...as soon as the truck is fixed and back on the road, it's up for sale

Well it's working again today for the minute! Put it this way, I think we should just get a new one, I might just need medication if I don't get to come on here!

Everyone on here seems to be getting Macbooks at the moment - I'm very tempted too...

Hope your laptop holds on in there.
