So yesterday was Wednesday 15th April.
A beautiful sunny day and I got a good four hours of it just hanging out around the coffee bars on Edgware Road or as it is known by some as

Saudi High Street.Since my son has now bought a house in Texas and will eventually invite me to live there, I thought it a good idea to start offloading some of the junk that I have amassed in 4 years of living in my flat.
Sad to say, I am an inveterate hoarder. I am one of those who thinks "this'll come in handy one day" and more often than not, it never does.Thinking that I will not be able to take my chunky laptop, I decided to sell it as I have my eye on one of the new netbooks.Bloody shop on Edgware Road offered me £50.00 for my current lappy, it cost me £499 in Woollies a few years back.I could not press too hard for a better deal as it only had 256mb of Ram and just 40gig HD. I eventually got the offer up to £70 and reluctantly accepted it.

Passing a shop on Oxford Street, I was ensnared by an offer of a "FREE" netbook with a moby contract. So desperately wanting a lappy, I could take to the States, I signed up with O2 for a £30pm contract.So the offer was for a pink or white LG machine. with a gig of RAM and 160 of HD memory. This looked good.So I was ushered downstairs to sign the umpteen pages and hang around till all the checks and paper work was done.Then came the news that they only had the netbook in PINK!I love new techno toys and so wanted to take away the machine there and then, that I wound up with the gay version.

Rushed home to set it up to discover there was no Disc Drive. No wonder it was light. So it's now off to Maplin later today, to find a skinny external combo drive. Ah well!So not a bad day in all, got some rays and a new toy.
