Went to PC World yesterday and we bought a e-system laptop for my wife might make he shut up about the time i spend on th pc .Its mainly so she can keep tracks of her Ebay listings and wheeling and dealings Del boy would be proud not that she gets that many bargins and her email account she can now email to her herats consent and generally just surf the net stop her using mine it really bugs me cant have owt.
wont be long before she is moaning about bandwith and d/l speed

It came with a antler carry case a lazar mouse and 50 dvd+r discs thrown in if you ordered online than picked it up in store why when itcame with dvds when its a dvd rom drive and cd/rwdrive i,m not sure .Anyways got home it was all set up and running fine thats when my Daughter came in and asked if it was for her.

So it was back to pc world to but another one they are £349 ,my wife and i both thought that our daughter would turn her nose up at one seeing that its not all white with a apple logo on the case,how wrong was we .

I have now got very little or no chance of getting online until we are all net worked as one we are all taking turns of using one internet connection first one home first one plugged in to the modem.

Went for dinner at Maxi,s chinese resturant at the Light in Leeds city centre. They do a buffet menu as much as you can eat for £5.90 a head it was great food. But we only had a choice of nine items on the menu and very little choice for veggies.

Also had to pay up front no doubt too many people doing runners,which if that was your plan then dont eat too much or your gonner be so eay to catch hehe.Will not eat anything for another twenty four hours hopefully................

Went this morning to CCL computers to place order for a pc to be built by them .
Going for a Shuttle xpc sn27p2 barebones case into this i have added a seagate barricuda sata 320 gig hard drive and a AMD Athlon 64 x2 4200+ cpu and i1 gig of cosair ram blah blah blah i wont bore myself or others with all the details .But this is the first brand new computer i have ever owned all my other pc's have been bought second hand with new bits upgraded and added to them plus they have all run pirated copies of windows ME and Xp now i have gone legit i will be able to run microsoft updates without facing the wrath of Bill Gates.So this is diffentlya big moment for me to go out and spend a huge amount of cash on a brand new p.c.

I can remember years ago when one day when i got home from school and my Dad had gone out and bought himself a Phillips 4 track reel to reel tape recorder from Comet,on the bus he went he did'nt own a car and he was like a pig in shit with it when he got it back home . He had it wired in to the radio recording his favorite tunes pirated music happening even back then it was a Ecko transistor valve radio a big polished wood piece and the lead to be able to do this he made himself and i thought yeah great for you dad go for it but at the back of my mind was thinking along the lines of its only a bloody machine.

Now i know what my Dad was really feeling like my new pc will be ready, fingers crossed in seven days from today and no doubt my kids will be thinking along the same lines as me all those years ago its only a machine,when iam beaming ear to ear.

Today i also went for a badly needed hair cut always at the local barbers £6.00 including tip money well spent.And still another three more days off work yipee.............................

Today bought James Patterson's new novel Mary Mary not started reading it yet but no doubt should be par for the course features FBI agent Alex Cross and murder great for the bus journey home on a night,cant read first thing on the morning cnat have mp3 player on and read either .And no doubt it will be more interesting then whats writing here hehe.

All so bought this months issue of Skin Deep with the free custom ink supplement thats still in the plastic wrap not looked at it,get strange looks on the bus ,cone it before if there is any nude models or girl's in general with tattoos or piercings every one thinks its a porn mag and being called skin deep dos'nt help I was hoping to get my next tattoo done tomorrow seeing that i have got four days off from work i go back Monday,but i phoned my tattoo artist and found out he as been on sick you would think with all the drugs he was on he be immune to the common cold o/j he's clean .

Might have to see if he's fit to ink on friday instead will go price up a new computer tomorrow i dont want to go too mad on price i just want a half decent machine with a decent size h/d 300 gig would be about right for my needs.Not sure if i want or really need a dual core processor and not sure wether to go with a Pentium or Athlon or get a 64bit cpu decisions decisions.

A tft wide screen is a must atm i have a 21 inch crt which just takes up too much room and puts out too much heat the wife cools the bedroom down at the end of the day hehe right little fridge freezer she is.

The viewings at the old house went well.It was a good turn out by all accounts two people have put in the asking price which i cant belive.The Estate agent as got more people to view this Wednesday and is convinced he can get us another 5k+,all i say is dont count chickens i was always going to be chuffed to get the asking price never mind any more.Anyway will wait till wednesday see what pans out.

Looks like a new p.c is in the planning stages the wife can blow the rest ,would like a new digital camera the one i have is eons old and since i dropped getting into the house after a party at my sisters the zoom button has stopped working.

Got Thursday,Friday,Saturday and Sunday off this week looks like its odds on for a carboot this sunday unless a local computer fair is on.

Had to buy a new mouse yesterday left click gave up the ghost its only when you have to buy something froma major outlet that you realise how cheap it is buying online.

bought a i-pod mains charger online for £4.99 inc postage ordered it friday bought it before i got the i-pod and it came monday Currys wanted £24.99 for something similar my ribs still hurt from the howling i made the sales assistant is convinced iam on happy pills and kept checking his flies hehe.

My Wife phoned in sick for me yesterday had Sunday off as well ,will try and take them both as holidays but i know without asking they wont let me do that,even though i have holidays to take. went into town centre saturday morning first thing,i bought a 4 gig electric blue i-pod nano and a leather case. Its a great piece of kit not sure about i-tunes need to get my head round it. So far i have got tracks on to the i-pod no probs its when you want to change tracks but keep others on, it wipes every thing off and starts from scratch and puts different tracks back on i need to set it to do it manually rather than have it set on sync when it detects the i-pod is plugged in off it goes , but apart from that its great.

I do only have usb 1 atm which slows transfers down but it charges it up fine which i was impressed and amazed with just in case i have ordered a charging unit off Ebay you just plug into the mains . The house is now cleared attic to cellar no more skips and no more trips to the local tip yipee,the white van man and his sidekick was brilliant what a team they was both happy go lucky moved what ever we asked them to with no moans or groans was money well spent. Now ts all been swept out carpets ripped up and florboards disenfected ready for the viewings on monday just got to drop keys off to the Estate agents on the way to work in the morning.got some dvd's on rental silent hill,lucky number slevin been meaning to watch it since it came out and Wesley Snipes new realease detonator one big bag of popcorn and six bottles of stella chillin in the fridge a great finish to the week ..........................

Playing a bad card tomorrow phoning in sick at work i need to sort out the cellar door its more secure, screwed up nailed up wedged up then a camels arse in a sandstorm .Got a bloke and his sidekick (steptoe and son no doubt )coming tomorrow to move stuff out of the cellar no job to small yeah i bet. So they will need to gain entry into the cellar via the outside, its gonner take a good two hours to sort it all out and put it back together again as it was i have no choice but to call in sick but seeing as i get paid when i phone in sick and its time and a half on saturdays i always feel guilty, plus i am the worlds worst liar and leaving a message on the works answer machine iam always convinced, that i sound so lame its game over.
. Nobody will touch fridges these days you'd think it was radio active waste i was disposing of.I know its all to do with the cfc gas omissions into the atmosphere etc but why make life difficult no wonder so much fly tipping goes on.
Well done to Richard Branson for donating all his profits for the next ten years into scientific research into new fuels made from corn and new ways to prevent global warming.Paul McCartney,Bill Gates get your cheque books out.
Anyway white van man wants £95 to move a industrial printer the two washing machines and the cooker and guess what he's got the job if it saves my back trapped fingers skinless knuckles iam all for it. Still got two carpets and underlay to rip up one double bed to smash into vauxhall vectra size boot pieces a computer desk and a chest of drawers then we should just about be left with a empty shell .The Estate Agent as got a mass viewing monday of eager buyers and property developers calling so hopefully it will start a bidding frenzy.

Had the day off work today so went to do some house clearing up at the house we are selling. what a mess even the rats have refused to live there and moved out in sympathy with the cock roaches. ..............How one person can live in such a mess is beyond belive. one person moved out and left behind Five old colour tv's not working the really heavy type,the type that if you throw and it will be full, my wife ordered the skip she thought she would save us money bless her and get a really small cute one . the haul also included 2 fridges not working in the kitchen one electric cooker covered in grease never been cleaned too slippery to move wants sand blasting , two washing machines covered in rust living in the cellar the general electrics in the house not working light fittings broke sockets away from the walls and general just in dangerous condition . glass in front door broken,cellar door been kicked in no doubt by the rats wanting out they called round there mates ,all the carpets want taking up and burning,mould in the bathroom both round the bath and sink is totally disgusting grow your own bacteria for germ warfare. A tumbler dryer covered in silver conduct tape with a brokern plug trailing plugged into the bedroom suspect wall socket .Plug sockets not allowed in a bathroom before anyone asks dont want to fry the cockroaches do we.......long live Steve Erwin,plus 101 empty toliet roll cylinders in the airing cupboard , in the bedroom a stack of porn mags chains and handcuffs that want taking down from the walls and ceilings the blow up doll wants emptying from all orifices o/j............and thats just the inside the outside wants repainting hedges cutting trees trimmed rubbish removed etc etc,was a old type plastic dustbin when i pulled on the handle to move it broke away and cracked and out shot disgusting smelly water soaking trainer and foot.On the plus side there was also a computer tower 2 monitors one scanner and one printer and a table top photo copier not sure what works will check it out if they work its sale time on ebay without a doubt.

We have just received a second hand mini bus owt for nowt is works policy ,what a wreck its like the van in the film jeepers creepers but slower. Fred Flintsone would be well chuffed with it I even think its M.O.T goes back to that era only wish i had a day off work for every mile it has done.
I always wanted a vehcile to turn heads my wish as been granted, the only trouble is you can hear it 20 seconds before you can see it.
Selecting gears is alright unless you require 1st or 2nd.
and forget all hill starts and motorways it would be a big hit in Holland.Roll on winter months should be alright if i follow the grit wagons , and thank God i only get to drive it once a week.
After driving the beast its like driving a supped up sports car once i get back behind the wheel of my motor. But saying that i dont need to take the bus home one night a week, my wife uses the car during the week or any day with a Y in it must not grumble . And it also save's getting the bus to work one day a week so i count my blessings and not speeding tickets . And i get to drive a merc at last hehe.

Iam in the process of selling a second house i own.It has been rented out for a number of years and seeing that house prices have shot through the roof i have decided its time to sell.Hopefully in the coming weeks it will snapped up and and monies deposited into my bank account.

The cash i will get will be the equal to approx 5 years wages (net) so by no means can i pack in work as much as i hate the job its going to go nowhere and iam currently on 32k a year . But at least the money from the sale is going to buy a few luxurys and fight of a few rainy days .

The first thing on the agenda is a new tattoo its been in the planing for the last six months so its time for blood and pain again all for the sake of some more internal ink. I have two leg pieces and most of my back covered by various designs tha main theme being dragon's sun and crosses.

i want a new mp3 player and i am considering a new i-pod i have never owned one before and the new 80 gig is appealing , but dont like the fact you have to use i-tunes, you cant copy and paste straight into the player nor cant you drop in rechargable batteries , i do a lot of walking and travelling and its convenient to replace batteries rather than have to charge the whole unit especially in the middle of nowhere,i know you can get a battery add on pack so i could achieve this but why add to the expense i-pods dont come cheap ,why cant apple give users a choice of batteries or a rechargable unit or the option of both or is it ploy get more cash out of the consumer to buy add on's.will have to search out other manufactures and see what appeals.

now doubt wifey will have a list off everything she wants and what she wants doing with the house renovating it from top to bottom
she can have what she wants i got my pc music and tunes dont think there is anything else i need well there is , but it will be way too much money hehe
