CEX

Blimey what a fus it has been trying to sell an old android phone to the bying shop CEX.  I went down on Monday and I had to cue for ages to get seen to>  When I finally was attended to, they said I could get 13 quid for the phone, which was fine but I had to become a member for some reason.  I did not have the ID they required for this so I decided to go back another day.

I went back today with ID, this time they offered me more money for the phone which was great, and then said I would have to come back in an our after they had tested it, so off I went.  I came back to the shop to pick up the money, well that's what I thought I was goingto do anyway, but when I got to the shop, apparently there was some software on there that stopped them buying it, I wish I had known this earlier, so that I would not have wasted my time. I wonder may other people's time this company wastes,  I will not deal with this company again I don't think they are basically time wasters as far as I can see, time wasters in so many ways, the bad customer serivice of waiting in a cue for ages and time wasting in relation to waiting for the test.

I am not too sure what to do with this phone now maybe I will sell back on ebay where I got it or maybe I will just throw it away and stop wasting more time on it.  Something went ok today I managed to get a bag for tomorrow, though its a bit warm to be going walking.

whist

Well I achieved something last night, which I thought was going to be beyond me, I guess to a lot of people what I achieved, was pretty trivial, but I guess we all see things different;ly, what I achieved was to get over 170 score in a whist drive.  Last night was the first time I had ever done it, had a few scores in the 160's but not in the 170's which I see as the holy grail of scores to get as you will probably win then, which in fact I didn't last night, someone scored more than me, by 1 point.  I was not that bothered about that, all I was concerned about was getting a score above 170, I have been going to whist for years off and on and was never, until last night able to get the magic score, I am surprised I got the score last night as I had a bad headache all evening, I guess it was the luck of the cards that got me through. I thought I would never get the score, as I don't see very well, and struggle to make out the cards sometimes which is a bit of a strain,

great war

I went to an exhibition today, which was about the first world war, it mainly seemed to be full of photos of men from my home village who had fallen in the great war, they were all young obviously not ravaged by time.  It was a bit sad to think that so many young men from the place where I grew up were killed, it had their names and the names of where they lived, the names of houses and streets are the same today Sometimes you feel the outside world does not affect what happens here, but I guess it must do as it dragged a load of the young men here into the conflict which was going on at that time, I am not sure I agree with them going to fight, but that is neither here nor there, the fact is they did and that was what was going on at that time. My grandfather was in the first world war, but he was lucky enough to survive, even though he did leave his calf muscle over there in wherever he was, it must have been hell for him really and I guess I will never know what he saw there, al

shack

I did not go the 4th day of the walk, I could not face another 10 miles of plodding around the countryside, I think this is mainly due to the fact that I have not been walking quite so much in the last year, due to bad weather and things like that.  I did not think I would even finish 2 days but I did 3 in the end, more than anyone else except the person who organised the walk.   Instead of going on the walk i tidied up around the place, and just sat around, and also watched the football this afternoon, it was a crap day.  I did not even go for a short walk, its still perishing out there, I have a short walk on Wednesday, a kind of trail run for group who want to do this short walk, a recky or something they call it. I have at last heard when the new kitchen is being put in, apparently its on the !0th of April, I should have a received a 21 day notice but I didn't, which I guess is typical of the organisation who are doing the work. I am a bit apprehensive about the rewiring as the
