New phone and boots!

[fluffymark]

Thanks to the generosity of the very lovely evil_nick, I have returned to the world of mobile-phone-ownership. To tell the truth, and this may be heresy to the ears of those who cannot-live-without-it, I've actually not missed the thing at all, but hey, they come in very useful at the most unexpected moments, don't they? If you wish to know the number and have managed to escape the emails I've already sent out, then please ask, and I'll gladly tell you the number, unless you're an axe wielding maniac.

Additionally, there was a very evil discount boot shop near to the phone-unlocking place which distracted me somewhat and then made me poorer (although only by a little bit, so that's OK) and now I have new black things with steel anti-toe-sqaushers which looks like they'll take ages for me to lace up. And more importantly, means the boots that died in Italy at new year but I've still been wearing up until now because of lack of other suitable footwear have now had a proper funeral.

Its a lovely phone - i had a lot of trouble at first, but that was mainly due to total unfamiliarity with the phone rather than it being inherantly annoying - i think i've mastered most of the essential things now, and it's more than adequate! :)

There are many places than unlock phones in Stratford - unfortuantely I tried on the Sunday before the Bank Holiday, and they were all shut, as were all mobile phone shops in Stratford. I found one open in Leytonstone however, which charget 15 pounds for unlocking, which i thiout a little steep, but i don't know how much it is usually, and as they were the only ones open, and i wasn't willing to wait until tuesday, I chose them. They did make up for it by only charging me 15 pounds for a SIM card, which apparently cost 30 pounds in most other mobile phone shops. So 30 pounds in total, which I'm happy with.
Thanks once again for the phone! :)
