karen2205 | Boring updatey thing

Don't seem to have a great deal I want to write about atm - possibly 'cos it's all rather mundane.

Let's see: Coffee in Borders last Tuesday involved some very political discussion and for once I wasn't being ganged up upon by a load of lefties. Got 49% on the property mock - so I really will have to do some work there (and I did start in on that by reading a couple of chapters of the resource book on Sunday).

Nice quiet weekend - actually caught up on some long over due email replies during the LiveJournal outage on Saturday (though there's more to go). Heard that one of the people I met at HGC Widegames died on Saturday night from cancer:-(

Criminal last night didn't seem too bad. Coffee in Borders again this evening - I must try to visit John Lewis before going to Borders - I want some telly prices, 'cos I've got to get round to sorting out a new telly. Picked up a catalogue from one of the electrical places on Tottenham Court Road as I walked past last night - and the only tellies it had were plasma flat screen things, which isn't what I want (it was also full of computers, so I've now thrown it out before I get any ideas!).

Hmm, seems I've written quite a lot for not having a lot to say....

Umm, that was kind of a deliberate ommission from my post - I was more making the point that it's unusual for me not to be the one being ganged up upon, rather than that that happened to someone else.

Right, guess I'll have to edit this post - it was friends only for all the Guiding talk, so I'll make this public and move that elsewhere.

Comment therefore deleted, sorry.

On the other hand, some people get ganged up on and some people don't ever not get ganged up on- the one we had in Borders was the latter sort.

No, I didn't have any problems with your comment - it's just that if we're going to discuss people who aren't on LJ I'd rather we did so openly, rather than in a friends locked post where they wouldn't be able to see and respond to the comments.

Ooh, this was weird. I read the entry when it was all one friends only post, and then refreshed my friends page to find some of the post re-posted! Then I scrolled down a bit and noticed you'd taken it out of the first post and it all made sense :)

[Related to the other entry but I'm too lazy to comment twice, and this comment is otherwise very content-lite] I really need to phone my mum today. I haven't talked to her since before I went to Seattle (when I actually saw her). I also really really need to find out what's going on with my Samsung laptop. I'm getting tired of using this 8 pound thing with the dodgy screen hinges. She's been in touch with them, because I've had automated mails, but I can get absolutely no useful information out of my brother, so I actually have to go and bring the phone up here.

Yeah - hope you get a working laptop back soon.

I generally write entries regardless of content and then work out whether they're going to be public or friends only afterwards. I'm far too lazy to go back and split posts up into public bits and friends' only bits - though I do wish I wrote more public entries.

Why not try tescos for a TV, i seem to remember you only wanted a new one so you'd have a scart socket for a digi box! Tescos have a few cheap tv's one with a bulit in Video, which i personally would avoid (One breaks there both buggered!) and i think it was only £36. which is cheap. OK may not last years but at that price who cares?

'cos I'm lazy - actually Tesco is one of the places I want to try looking. My problem is that I don't have a car and I don't fancy trying to get a telly home on the tube. The possible advantage of Tesco is that they might deliver to me at a time when I'll be at home, rather than forcing me to take a day off work.

Just had a look on Tesco's website - http://www.tesco.com/help/page.asp?choiceA=elec&choiceB=5&choicec=5&page=sharAns26.htm - I can't quite decide whether this means they just leave items on the doorstep (not really a good idea in London) or if they leave a card and you then have to arrange for delivery at a later date - IME when I've done things like this in the past they'll only offer 'morning' or 'afternoon' as the alternatives and only deliver during the week. I can't really afford to take time off work to have things delivered to me.
