[m i a o w] the cat

Am just posting quickly as I have to finish a file for a person who is turning up tomorrow at 9am [sigh], but I am so excited. I just bought a Teasmade on Ebay that I’ve been after for a few years. I’m too cheap to buy a proper one, of course, as they go for $130 or over, but I got a D25 model without the tray and missing a teapot for $76. Wah-hoodle! It will make a good companion for my Goblin D26. (At least I think it’s a D26, but it’s packed, so I can’t check. I am sitting amidst a sea of boxes and bags…)

It has been a day of Ebay purchases, beginning with another Nokia 5110 for my dad, that I found this morning with four minutes to go. Four minutes later, it was mine (or his - he slapped the cash down a few minutes later) for $16.50 and $10 postage. Tra la. A vibrating battery and everything. And then I got a data cable for $3.99 for my phone. Small Brother tells me he is upgrading his phone soon, and will send his latest to me, but in the meantime, I’ll be able to back up all the stuff on the phone to my computer, and hopefully charge it as well through my USB car charger. We shall see.
