Ha! Me Lucky? I think not.

Headed to Maplin today in search of a lead which will convert my parallel port to a usb on my laser printer, I soooo need to print stuff. So I had a look in the lead section I thought I might have been able to find it myself and not look like some bubble head woman who doesn't know her arse from her elbow when it comes to technical things. I couldn't find it so I had to ask, the guy lead me back to the place I had been looking and I groaned on the inside because I thought he was just going to put his hand on the package and I would see it was hanging right in front of my nose but no he turned to the shelving on the other side, very bottom shelf and picked up a box. I would never have found it in a month of Sundays (I wonder why Sunday is supposed to be an easier day to find things) So he said, 'You are in luck this is half price and is only £9.99 today it was £24.99 last week.' Firstly I did wonder about his maths ability and then I mentioned that it was advertised on their website at £9.99 anyway. 'Yes thats because it is advertised at the half price offer so you are lucky you came today and not last week.' I replied, 'I think you will find it is you that is lucky because if it had been £24.99 I wouldn't have been buying it and would now be sitting comfortably at home ordering it off the internet somewhere.' Thing is I could have got it for a few quid on the internet but that would mean waiting for it and I really kinda set my mind to getting it sorted today.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my 'letter' didn't arrive but instead I got a phonecall from a very calm and reasonable sounding husband of irate woman who hit me. He said that his wife had mentioned that I had been talking to my garage and I had some letter quoting repairs. I said I did and I had told her what it was costing me and she had informed me that I would be getting a reply in writing and two days later I was still waiting for the letter. 'What letter?' he asked. Emm... the letter your wife said she was sending me. He seemed surprised, and asked if he could see the letter and would take it from there and asked that I perhaps phone him instead of her. Hmm... I think he is going to try to wriggle out of paying for my loss of earnings. I did say that I really hoped this could have been sorted and not dragged out. He said well I think we all want to find a reasonable solution. 'Reasonable' I suspect my defination of this word is quite different to his.

We shall see... right PRINTER TIME! Ohhh I hope this lead works.

23:49 Omg! I am printer goddess! Not just the laser working but the inkjet as well! Woo hoo!

Ohhhh OHHHHH and I am lucky. Tonight at the photographic exhibition I won an Easter Egg in the ballot, okay so it wasn't the lovely bit one but I was chuffed. Exhibition was good, they people in the club are really lovely, kinda odd that I still get people who come up and know me by name and who remember me from the talk I gave there.

Treated myself to a bath and then asked L if she wanted one, kinda method in my madness because I wanted her feet to pose for me. She still in there with the dog, well the dog isn't in the bath she is just sitting beside it trying to eat the bubbles. :)
