Went into town. Had the pleasure of finding out that 6 days after I paid £150 for an X-Box with 1 game, they dropped to £99 with 2 games.
Bought another 5 games and an X-Box and 2 games for my mums combined xmas/bday.
The £50 was made easier by getting £22 of speaker cable for Shoozey for free from my friends in Richer Sounds.
Took Shoozey her cable and a pair of speakers I'm donating to her for rear speakers. Also got back her tobacco and snazzy tin she'd left in the Frontier a week earlier. Showing up with gifts for her seemed to spoil her mealtime, so I bade her farewell.
Took Shoozeys old tv to my mum, so she doesn't have to play her X-Box on a portable in the bedroom, as my dad gets traumatised if his living room tv is switched off for a single second in his waking hours.
My mum was having major problems getting used to the controls for the X-Box, being a playstation addict. She blamed me for making her nervous, at which point I asked her what part of 'go right' was it she was having problems understanding.
Finally got a hold of my mate Buzz. Took back his cds and dvd which I'd had for months. Had phoned him about 25 times and not got an answer. Being a gardener/greenkeeper, he's about to start his winter break. We spoke of the joys of unplugging the phone and never opening the curtains.
Got stalked on the way home by a strange and wonderfully mysterious woman. She was screaming abuse at passing cars, mumbling about going into the park to feed the pigeons, at midnight, walking along behind me and muttering 'that man's annoying me' at my back. We were in a deserted street, so I think she was talking about me. I made a little burst of pace as I got to my close, so I could get in and get the close door locked.
I seem to have a thing about attracting females who are wired up to a custard cream.
