A weeks Holiday!

So Manny and I have had the week off work together. It's such a shame that the weather has been so rough and we have been so broke. I can't wait until I get my next pay cheque it will be a proper one this time not half pay.

We went to the warehouse, Costco and then Buffet Island with Mum on my Birthday, didn't do anything else too exciting, money's tight and all that. Still haven't received my new purple laptop from Dell but I keep checking on the order process and it's any day soon by the looks of it. Isn't my Husband a love buying me a lovely laptop? Oh I did go and have my works medical that night, it went well but my wee wee sample got lost in the post so now a nurse has to come to the house and have another one!!!

So the saga of the wireless Internet carried on till Wednesday. I received the wireless router on Tuesday and left it till Wednesday to sort out. OMG why me I ask myself, I was convinced it would be a 20 minute job, why do I kid myself so much!!!

So I gets the router and all the cables out of the box and starts attatching everything UNTIL I realise that my computer doesn't have a Ethernet connection in it. Huh!!!! So I get on the phone to Talk Talk in India of course and do they listen to me NO THEY DON'T!!!! I have now been trying to sort this out for 2.5 hours and I am getting very stressed but staying calm. All these guys keep doing is transferring me to other departments. All they can say is that I need to get an Ethernet thingy put into my PC, I give in in the end and drive over to Stafford to PC World to get it sorted. The guy tells me it's going to cost £40 in all, all this because we are trying to save money and it's going to cost me more!!! So Manny pops out to the car to get my PC and as he's walking through the door with it, the guy says...'I've got some bad news for you!' My heart sank I can tell you. So I said 'go on then break it to me!!' So then he hastens to tell me that my PC has an Ethernet thingy and I have just overlooked it. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, Manny just rolled his eyes.

So we jumped in the car and went back home, via the pub and a lovely carvery to calm our nerves, Manny has a bottle of cider as well I think he needed it.

Anyway here's me thinking fab I can just get it connected it'll only take 10 minutes, what am I stupid or what, hit me someone will you!!!!

For some reason my adaptor will not now connect to the router, oh yes the installation of that went like a dream. But no it's not going to be that easy! So I gets back on the phone to Talk Talk in India and keep being transferred from department to department AGAIN!!! Then I discover that the actual department I need to talk to won't talk to me! WHY?? Well it seems they have me down as Mr A Guinto not Mrs so want to speak to Mr, can I make them understand there is no Mr A Guinto it's me Mrs A Guinto, it takes me 1 hour to convince them of this with a lot of shouting I can say and I'm sorry to say I ended up calling them all incompetent idiots, I really lost it, I was so angry, just because they missed the S of they won't talk to me. FINALLY I made this guy understand and he transferred me to the department I needed. Guess where it is, you've guessed it ENGLAND!!!!! Why couldn't they just put me through straight away.

It's now 8pm and I started this caper at 2pm, can you imagine how hot and bothered I am, Mum's gone out and Manny's staying out of the way, I'm best left to it when I get like this.

FINALLY!!!! Little old Lee in Bradford ENGLAND helps me configure everything and it's working like a dream, I can tell you if he'd been standing in front of me I would have kissed him! So now thank goodness there is no cable trailing down the stairs and everything seems to be working like a dream. WHY ME I ask myself WHY ME, does everything have to be a trauma.

Take a deep breath for me guys I need one!!!!
