Jan's poorly, useless PC World and the Sales

27 December 2012

I'm sure you don't need me to tell you it was Boxing Day yesterday.  Like everyone and their uncle we were out at the sales - but not at stupid'o'clock hoping for a bargain!  No, we started off at Leeks furniture place and ordered a new sofa for Jan.  Very nice too.  We also got £130 worth of vouchers to go with it.  They aren't really giving much away there seeing as we can only spend them at Leeks.  I'm sure we will find something to spend them on.

After that we had ride to Tesco Arena a couple of miles from Leeks.  OK, we did buy a few things there but mainly things we needed rather than what we fancied; apart from the two Mario shirts we bought for Kile.  He's mad on Mario at the moment. 

From there we made our way to PC World, what a farce that was!  There were loads of people there. but even so there was quite a few staff standing around gossiping while others were with customers.  What did I want from there?  Two things mainly; Texthelp Read & Write Gold 10.1 and Photoshop Elements 11.  I asked about them and the Read & Write they haven't of and Elements 10 was there, but not 11.  I have a feeling they are trying to get rid of 10 before putting 11 on sale. 

The plan than was to drive towards home and call into the Anchor before coming home.  As it was Jan was feeling very rough by then so we came straight home instead.  She managed to get an appointment with the GP this morning and has come away with a week's supply of antibiotics for the chest infection she now has.  And she looks ill too!  We may have to put off having Kile this coming weekend if Jan hasn't picked up by then.  But of more concern really is that she is booked onto a ferry to Ulster a week on Saturday; she's off to see Lynda for a week.  One of us usually ill over the Crimble/New Year time - we're used to it now ;-)))

Still not done anything with the shots from the A77 yet, I'll get them done soon I'm sure.  So for today's photo then ... 

a piece of public art in Stratford that is supposed to be two swans.  The Swan Theatre is there abouts somewhere so I suppose it has something to do with that.

And funny time ...

Medical Distinction - Guts vs. Balls
We've all heard about people having guts or balls. But do you really
know the difference between them? In an effort to keep you informed,
the definition for each is listed below...
GUTS - Is arriving home late after a night out with the guys, being met
by your wife with a broom, and having the guts to ask: "Are you still
cleaning, or are you flying somewhere?"
BALLS - Is coming home late after a night out with the guys, smelling
of perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the
butt and having the balls to say: "You're next."
I hope this clears up any confusion on the definitions. Medically
speaking, there is no difference in the outcome, since both ultimately
result in death.
