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.

There are some truely wonderful people out there

just recieved this by mail from a fellow blogger. I want to share it so everyone can benefit as I have. I've wiped my tears away and I've printed this up so when I am getting sulky and down I will read this and remember .... Aim High! (how appropriate is that name!) Don't EVER think that you any any less of a runner than anyone else Kim, You show a dedication and determination that puts many people to shame. You have a goal for your marathon time which is truly amazing - and I am inspired by it..We all have our dream peaks (sorry about the mountain reference again - I'm a mountaineer too!) - and they are a reflection of who we are and what we are able to acheive - for ourselves - and anyone who can't see the value of that endeavour is blind indeed.When you run your next pb - to me that is as phenomenal an achievement as any world record..and I will bounce up and down like a mad thing at the thought of it - and I get pretty animated when I'm excited about somethi...

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...

Munchtime Run

Woke up feeling "coldy" ... tender throat, tired and headache. Decided the headache was due to lack of drink the night before as I was talking to Duck for 90mins! So had some paracetomol and drink and packed my kit! My reasoning being that even if it was a cold it was not "on my chest" so no harm in running and anyway the fresh air would do my head good! Spent most of the morning feeling pants too. Headache has still there despite drink and drugs but I had my kit so off I went.1.2m in and the batteries on my GPS died! This meant it was me and the smog filled roads and my watch. As I alter my route slightly every run (so I don't compare splits!) I didn't really know the distance or pace. I did know that when I got to the Ford garage that the office was just over 1m away and I had about 13mins left when I got there. Problem was that it wasn't much further before my legs said "you are having a laugh!" and I started to flag. As I knew I was having ...
