Gadget Girl Strickes Again!!

Today my goal was to upgrade my phone and get as much free as I could - i.e. I'm a cheap!

So off I toddle to the CarPhoneWarehouse.

Normally they give £20 for "Trading in" your old phone, charger and manual. This month it's £40. As a loyal T-Mobile customer I get a phone up to £100 free.
So I got the Nokia 6230 with Mp3 Player and DAB Radio and camera for free and the chap gave me the bluetooth adaptor for the phone (thats £50 instead of £40). He then goes on to try and flog me TalkTalk which is there cheap landline phone service. After a while he says I can have free accessories worth £20 so I agree knowing I will cancel tonight! So he says he will get me a free facia and cover which I agree to .... but the cover was £14 and the cover was £20!
So I got the lot for free! Very nice thank you!!

So I have installed the bluetooth at work and uploaded 2 songs and will test out the MP3 player at the gym tonight! Sorted!

Not fair I want a new mobile phone plus lots of gadgets for free. Not that I ever use mine often. I buy about £10 of credit every couple of months.

I don't buy phone gadgets Rob! I get them free, I buy running gadgets!!
I hardly use my ohone either but it's a security blanket. I won't go for a run without my phone (apart from club runs) incase I need to call someone (like I injury myself etc) so having one that plays me music too is cool!

We have 3 PC's in the house Laura - I graduated with a Computing degree last year, I work in IT adn live on the Internet. Does that count???
I've never got into Palms though, never far enough away from a PC to need one!!
Oh and Free is good!My last phone cost me £9 for a cover! Got that free this time! Hubby wasn't impressed though, just doesn't understand! I may be tempted to buy some more memory as it only comes with a 32mb memory card which is about 8-10 songs so I may get 128Mb card, now if I had thought I should have got that instead of a fascia - damn!

We're a 3 PC Household (4 if you count the 166 in the loft). Did have a Palm but gave up on it.

Now I just want a more powerful PC - 450 is too slow now.

Sensible Head

The choice was getting wet or getting wet. I opted for the wet but warm option rather than the wet, cold and wind swept option! So 1m done at the pool including 2 goals being achieved and some board work. I said a while ago I wanted to be able to do 20 lengths non stop DONE and 10 lengths of front crawl non stop DONE!! So happy pixie. Used a different pool today as I wanted to see about lessons for Gnome. It was a nightmare to locate the car park and once I found it, it was full to the brim with cars circling for spaces so I drove the 200m down the road to the free parking and nabbed the last space there instead! The pool is old so not pretty or ponced up but it is clean and in good repair and they do Saturday lessons and Gnome can start this week! OK so he then has 2 weeks off but how good is that! My other option was the pool near work and a possible start mid February! So just need to get the OK from Gnome and a commitment to get out of bed for a 9:30 lesson every week until March (...

Remember this?

Yes I'm back on the bench :-( That sore foot thing on Wednesday... well it's still here. In typical bruised fashion it hurts more after a period of sitting down/sleep and I've been popping the brufen. There is a slight swelling too. Don't think it is laces ... on closer inspection the pain is (looks at google ... gives up and picks up "how to run injury free" instead) on the sesamoids area of the err middle phalanger (??? impressed hey!) In the same location where you would get morton's neuroma but the description is wrong so I don't think it's that!! (oh the perils of a little knowledge from a book or the web hey!) Anyways this means I'm on the bench. No running. I have 4 or 5 weeks until the Suicide Sixish so no panic, I will take 1 whole week off regardless and see what happens next weekend. Also think I will get some new shoes with more cushioning. Now all I need to do is locate my bike and/or exercise bike from the depths of the garage un...

Ten Week Training Block

Monday is the start of a new 10 week training block. Well Ok it's the start of my second round of The Six Pack Revolution this time I am doing the sculpt program. I did Signature in May and did really well. Lost 21lbs and rediscovered my love of running lots (rather than just running!) which has meant that I have had a great, extended, training block for my race next weekend. Problem was that at the end of the 10 weeks I slowly but surely reverted to a lot of my old habits and as such have regained 4-5lbs. Luckily my running has kept it to just 4-5lbs - I know if I hadn't been doing so many miles then it would have been more. So next week I start again, and I am trying a different mindset. Instead of seeing it as a 10 week program I am thinking of it as a 10 week training block. The say Winter miles make for Summer smiles but also the winter is a time for more indoor training! When most runners hide away a bit but do more of the stuff we should do all year as we then have an ex...
