new monitor
This week i purchased a new 19" widescreen monitor for our home PC.
It replaces an older 15" monitor which wasn't really up to the task any more.
Sadly i missed the delivery man so had to venture into a large industrial estate and find the warehouse to pick it up late last night.
Now this would probably be Steve C's worst nightmare, it made Argos look like a day at the races!
It took ages and ages, lots of people waiting around for the little people to come out with arms full of boxes and things to hand out.
Whatever you do, don't try and pick an item up without ID - it makes the little people go crazy!
Anyways the new monitor is in at home and looks spanky! To pay for the new screen i am selling lots of things on eBay (which may need to include my left kidney) so take a look and buy something if you like!

ok there you go i've added a link.
Argos really does stress me out...
You have to queue, then queue somewhere else, then wait for your number to oome up and then my stuff is always sitting there on the shelf while some part-human, part-troll creature shuffles up and down past it every 20 minutes.
I've got to go and lie down having just thought about it.
add to your stress sitting in a small waiting room with phone on the wall - when you arrive you pick up the phone and read out your item number and wait....
and wait a bit momre.....
the first words of of the litle persons mouth is - Got any ID?!
YOu should have said 'Yeah, got any IQ?'
Bit late on this one...
You could always try and make sure that you don't miss the delivery in the first place. That doesn't mean having to be in all of the time - there are a number of ways of helping the delivery guys if you're out - drop boxes, keyboxes (NIB) or local collect points.
