I think we have to face facts - whether we like it or not - peoples lives seem to be wrapped up in their phones! When they invent a phone that can hoover, clear 8up and do the ironing I may become a convert. Until then I can take em or leave em. Since my mobile went through the washer in November there has only been one time that I've actually really missed it! ................

My last 2 mobiles were rendered useless with Vodaphone ( each with at least $8.00 on tariff) Got cut off and end of in there terms. Just coz i hadn't used them in a certain amount of time. Never read this in the terms and conditions. I read that if you don.t use use your phone for a time they give your number to someone else???  Where has my money gone?

Up the swannee! Get with it Tori, we're in 2012....lights gas lamp to take to bed and checks out that chamber pot is handy!

Saz, i remember you getting a fab watch that you'd wanted for ages, but, for the life of me, can't remember what it was, (I really am rubbish at stuff like this!)..Remind me please x

I thought of you when I first read this thread.     Your fancy watch is soooo beautiful.    And the excitement not only you felt when you were buying it, but all us online friends and your family...   

 

You just wouldn't get that with a ÂĢ4.99 job! 

 

 

Spookily, I also thought about you & your watch yesterday morning...   as I watched..  heart in mouth as MrD cracked open his Tag with a pair of pliers      He's replacing the battery HIMSELF!!!!    (says he refuses to pay the couple of hundred quid for the annual service this year!)  

 

(one of the screws was sooooo tiny it looked a bit of smeg on the end of the teeny tiny magnetic screw driver)

Oops...  I kinda spoilered that in my previous post! 

 

Saz has the prettiest, drool worthy Tag Heuer watch...     MrD has one too...  but its a man watch..   

 

Saz's is better

Wishes it was a pocket watch....sighs

I've got a pocket watch that I used when I was a teenager.  My grandfather gave it to me after restoring it.

Cinds

I can't bear not knowing the time [hate the X mins ago on posts in here and may have mentioned that a few times before. .tell me the actually time without having to hover over it not how long ago please!  ]

 

I never take my watch off just in case I'd forget to put it back on. .  I always have a waterproof watch so I never have to worry about removing it  when washing etc

 

 

I also have two clocks in my lounge as well and hate when one of them needs a new battery and shows the wrong time ..  I may be a bit OCD about the need to know the time thing

Mount Olympus *Olly*
