SWINGS AND ROUNDABOUTS

images-7

So there I was on eBay watching the old Volvo’s roof bars reaching the heady heights of £21 + £15 postage and packing and thinking “Oooo, the PayPal account will be in the black for the first time ever!”.

Meanwhile Lo, she is a terrible Goddess was hunched over her computer looking a tad secretive.

After I had had an email from Paypal to say the money had been received I decided to check the balance. Apparently we owed £64!!?!!

I was just going to inform the TG and ask her to contact them to find out what was going on when she got up from her computer saying “Excellent Peabrain, I’ve just got an iPhone on eBay for a mere £100.” Suddenly the maths made sense. Still, we must have been in credit for a nanosecond or two … *sigh*

    That’s the trouble with computers. And eBay. It is all so addictive. I’m sure you’ll enjoy the new phone….

    I won’t be allowed anywhere near it … not after the incident when I shut the car door and my coat was still hanging out and the mobile was in the pocket … I don’t want to talk about it actually *goes into hiding for safety reasons*

    I still have to use two cocoa tins, some string and an abacus. Still that’s better than the post-it notes and boomerang I used to have.

    Well since you didn’t get the car with the Ipad this is a good alternative…for LG. I lost an Iphone once. I am still waiting for someone to call me to say they found it.
