Still Waiting….

….for the new Oakleaf Circle site to become active. It’s been a week since I got the email from 34sp.com that the site was ‘live’, but it isn’t! I’ve sent them an email, yesterday, and I’ve only had an automated reply so far.

We went shopping in Ayr today – I bought myself a mobile phone. I hadn’t meant to, but B had topped up his phone credit, and remarked I should have dug out my old mobile and done the same. I’m not sure where my old mobile is – I haven’t used it in over two years, and I may well have thrown it out in the move. It was a heavy, clunky old thing anyway, and had lost its charger.
But, when we walked down the high street afterwards, I got to thinking that it would be good to have a mobile for the rare times I go out on my own. There’s a shop flogging mobiles practically every ten yards along that street, so we popped into the next one “just for a browse”; well I didn’t need one this minute, did I? No harm in looking at the prices, was there? Hah!
I hadn’t realised that mobile phone salesmen are all bastard sons of Mercury, equipped with stunning superpowers of persuasion! Which was why I walked out ten minutes later with a new phone.
It was the cheapest one, mind. And I did manage to stop the salesman from signing us up to their telephone and broadband service as well!
