The one day I have off all week :) bliss as the mrs heads off to work I have the whole morning left to my own devices, well minus the pets ofcourse!
Leftover pizza from yesterday and catching up on the tv series 'Homeland'! If you haven't watched it its definately worth a look: gripping!
Have done sod all so far today and thats how I like it, occassionally mustered up the enthusiasm to get myself off the sofa to make a cup of coffee and have a smoke but other than that it really has been a day of rest! Life is good :)
New John Lewis advert with snowmen is classic, they always seem to make genuinely awesome adverts to get you in the christmas spirit, shame I will be shopping at Hollister and Superdry rather than their own store hehe.
Day took a dramatic turn for the worse at about 11:00 though, I had decided to get the laptop out while heating up my pizza in the oven. Rested the laptop on top of the hob, switched on the oven at the wall as I always seem to turn it off from there nowadays in the hope it will save me money on the electricity bills! There was a knock at the door and you know those irritating cold callers who turn up at your door trying to talk to you about a god of some sort they worship? Well it was one of those, I don't really have a lot of time for them as I'm well aware if I wanted to go to church I would do it without a stranger coming to my door and trying to prompt me too!
About a minute into her speech I could smell something plasticy? Thought to myself maybe its the pizza I was reheating, then it dawned on me......F*#K.....I had switched off the oven at the wall yesterday after heating up some porridge on the hob and evidently forgotten to turn the knob that controls the hob down due to switching it off at socket! So as you can probably guess, turning the oven back on at the socket had turned the hob on too where id left the dial the night before!
Slamming the door in the middle of this preachers speech and running back to the kitchen my fears were realised! The laptop literally had been melted onto the hob, circuit boards showing and a lovely spherical hole had been burnt out in the bottom of the laptop! Bloody cold callers I blamed them instantly but she had long gone so had to spend the rest of the morning scraping off melted plastic from the hob! Oh and I burnt my pizza too! Dammit.
Plus side I guess is that laptop still functions perfectly just very warey of using it now wires and electrics stick out the bottom!
So in saving myself literally a matter of pence switching the oven on and off at the wall each time I use it I have inadvertently cost myself approximately 500 quid for a new Advent laptop!
Superb......
