Well, the race is finally under way...

Checo's stuffed it into the wall, safety car's out, and they're sticking cars onto inters...

Ooooeeeerrr...

ring ring ring ring,ah well Accy can't be back yet.

I'm just off to Tesco in Accy to attempt to buy a smartphone. Wish me luck, as something tells me that i'll come back empty handed.

What a farce!! I went with bank statements,utility bills etc for proof of address. That wasn't enough though! Oh no,they wanted a driving license and a passport as well. This was after they'd spent ages showing me the various options/deals. I do not have a 'new type' driving license only the old paper one,so that wasn't good enough and my passport ran out the other year. What happens if you don't have a valid passport or driving license I asked. Well you can't have a phone I was told!! So that's it no phone! Ah well,at least I tried but it will be quite a while before I try again!!

Ergh.

Major fluffy cat poo'ey bottom moment. Simba, the ragdoll had got a whole bowl movement tangled in his fur. It's been into the bath with you. Not a happy chap, but the ninja/jedi grab by the scruff of the neck worked after the second time he climbed over my back. Just had a shower also - not a nice job. I am still alive and injury free.

Poor cat looks like a skinny drowned rat (looks huge fluffed up).

Down side of having fluffy cats.

I will assure you, shorthairs can be an equal challenge. Cat bathing and cat pilling should be considered as olympic sports...

Unlocked secondhand handset from CEX or Game. Then all you need is a sim. Far less complicated.

Deadly sports. Can't believe what a mess. He makes a bit of noise as it is but I wondered what the hell this lot was... anyway, lots of warm water, conditioner and shampoo got it out. My word, he is seriously 'hissed' off now - just sat on the landing scowling. We had Leo and Luna outside the bathroom door wondering what we were doing to him, given the noise.... the scruff of the neck thing works - hate doing it, but it's like a jedi trick.

Sometimes it's better to snip the worst out of the "troosers" with some scissors and then tackle the rest with soapy kitchen paper. Or that's at least what peeps I know who have hairy monsters tell me...

Fortunately, poop nuggets (or cling-ons) are rare here.

Ah. You mean a chocolate pudding.

Know what you mean with the second. The first - I'll have to take your word for it, I'm afraid...

Sounds like my neighbour's cats appear to be having a difference of opinion on something outside my window.

I was thinking about buying a phone from a local shop and then getting a contract with O2. Someone's told me they did that and it's cheaper. He also said if I get monthly top up the internet 'eats it up quickly'. I would like some insurance though,as I do have a tendency to break or lose small things...like phones.
