I wanna tell you a story
Back in May I started to have problems with my laptop. There was obviously a faulty connection to the screen and it kept going weird. I tried to deal with it for a few weeks but the problem got worse and I had to give up and take it in to be repaired.
So therein starts the story. I was told it could be up to 6 weeks but I saw that as the worst case scenario...if only.
Each week I would go in and ask and they would tell me there was still no news.
I was like a bear with a sore head at home. Anyone could have mistaken me for someone trying to give up smoking. I was always shouting at everyone.
We do have another PC at home but with DS off school for the summer it was quite a fight to get any time on there and so I only had a couple of hours a day when he went off to do his paper round.
Then last week the shop phoned me up to tell me I am behind on my payments. I went on a rant about having this time been without my lappy for 9 weeks and that there is no way I am paying another penny until my Laptop was back.
They did a bit of work for a change and found that the laptop had in fact been fixed and dispatched 2 weeks ago but it hadn't arrived back at the store. They went on to tell me that they would investigate and if they couldn't locate the machine by the end of this week then they would replace it with a new model.
Still without a phone call I went into the shop today and the manager told me he was expecting it back any time today. In fact it arrived while I was there but it would take them an hour to unload the lorry and sign it in and everything so I took my shopping home and went back later.
It is such a relief to have my dear lappy back. Now I can sit here and do all my work and watch TV all at the same time ;)
