Last weekend I was happily typing away on facebook when I noticed that the battery symbol on my laptop was showing on my start bar. As this usually shows when my laptop isn’t plugged in I assumed it has come lose somehow. I checked all the connections and everything was plugged in as it should be. I even checked to make sure that the plug socket was on. Still nothing – My laptop was as if it wasn’t plugged in at all. I figured that my laptop charger must have broken. I have a Dell Latitude D600 so started to look online to find a replacement. The problem was that the more I used my laptop, the more my battery was running out. Being as unorganized as I am I didn’t have a spare! Eventually I found a site that had a dell laptop charger for sale. Even though they offer next day delivery I knew that I would still be without the use of my laptop for the best part of a day. I decided I would change my ways and ordered two, so that next time I would have a spare if anything were to go wrong. They came the next day which was great however the time between when my battery died and the dell charger arriving was a nightmare! All I can say is thank goodness for facebook on my blackberry curve! However all the other important documents, emails, photos and messages I have saved on my laptop couldn’t be accessed the whole time that my laptop battery was flat. It was a real nightmare as I had some important documents that needed to be emailed off to work as soon as possible. Luckily they were understanding however next time they might not be. I am just glad I have been organized enough this time to order a spell dell charger. I just hope that next time my dell laptop charger breaks I remember where I put my spare one!

I’ve recently started looking for a new phone. I was on my old phone talking to my insurance company about a car crash insurance claim and it was a nightmare! I couldn’t get any information out of them and I got more and more angry. In the end I just snapped and I ended up throwing my phone against the wall! Al my fault I know but I couldn’t help myself. I was close to the end of my mobile phone contract anyway and I had been on a really poor contract. I got hardly any free minutes, no free texts, and the phone they gave me was absolutely rubbish!
I decided this time round that I would make sure that I got a great deal and a phone that I liked. I had heard about a great site which had mobile phones with free gift. I had a look at a few sites online and although I saw a few deals that weren’t for me, I also came across some great ones. I had been looking out for a . To be honest it had got to the stage where I had my heart set on it.
Thankfully I finally found a site with the HTC desire deals and a great free gift too! The contract price was great and there was a shed load of free minutes and free texts included too! I signed up immediately and I was amazed when my phone came through the letter box the very next day! The phone is great and I am spending less money on my calls than ever before. If you think you want to take advantage of this great deal I found, you can see here for more info.
