Nook ST Glowlight

Got confirmation today from Argos that my order of the Nook Simple Touch Glowlight reader will be next Monday, October 15th, between the hours of 8am and 6pm. So that's that sorted, there was a note on my order page which suggested my order was being delayed and to get in touch with Argos to get an update.

I received my Kobo Glo on Friday past and once I fully test drive both fully I decide which suits my needs the most and pass the other over to my Mother. If the iPod 5th generation that I have on pre-order since pre-order became available direct from Apple UK store doesn't get released (and delivered) in time for my Mum's 70th birthday which is the 20th of October I will give her one of the readers for her birthday instead and keep the iPod for her Christmas when it actually does get actually released.

October 2012

It seems like ages since I posted to this particular blog, but I'm hoping that with the help of the new software I have my laptop I will be able to once again blog more frequently.

Please excuse any errors and slips through as I'm just learning how to use the Dragon NaturallySpeaking software and when I proof read I tend to miss the odd wrong word which is to be transcribed.

I am currently being treated for anaemia anaemia and having to take iron tablets three times a day. I am due to get another blood test at the end of the month and am also due for my flu jab this month as well.My brother and his family left yesterday for the October holidays at their home in France.

I am suffering from excruciating back pain at the moment as well as my other health worries.I am sorry this is such a brief update but I'm finding that incredibly hard to still still for any period of time.

Right Blog This Time

Well I've finally remembered to post to the correct blog this time around. I intended my last three posts on my Invisible Me Blog for this one.

Well, my saga with PC World, has entered the next phase.

To recap:

1 - July 29th placed order for Google Nexus 7 Tablet on pre-order when it was due in. At that time the estimate for stock was the 10th August.

2 - July 30th order processed and money charged to bank account.

3 - July 31st money paid to PC World from bank account.

4 - August 2nd 'in stock' on website for immediate delivery/pick up.

5 - August 3rd contacted PCW because item had been 'in stock' for almost 48 hours and no update to estimate for dispatch/delivery, still showing 'out of stock' on order page in My Account section.

6 - August 4th, order page changed to delivery in 3 - 5 working days. Mon 08/09

7 - Got phone message (and email) from customer service saying tablet would be with my this week, dispatch on Monday.

8 - Monday no change, Tuesday no change, Wednesday morning no change.

9 - Wednesday afternoon receive email with tracking number for Royal Mail, dispatched this afternoon. 8th not 6th. Just took a week since stock came in to dispatch, is that really, 'as soon as stock is available' that my order page has stated since the 29th.  Also dispatched the 8th not the 6th as my order page still states.

10 - Delivery? Who knows. Could most possibly be next week now or Saturday if RM is quick from depot to here.

I have bought many items from PCW in the past ten years or so but this is the first time I've dealt with them online. I prefer in-store at the moment.

Cream Crackered

Well, it's official I am cream crackered. Today was along, sore and not to forget tiring day. I had to get up early this morning to get my Dad's sister June to the hospital for her wrist operation done. Only it wasn't our hospital but the one a city over instead. So instead of a quick ten minute trip there and back, traffic lights permitting, I had two round trips today amounting to over 100 miles. I'm totally sore and everything hurts. I had to get gel put onto my bad shoulder prior to both journeys. So I could get through them at all. Now I find that this is the first of two wrists that needs this surgery. So I might have to do the same 100 plus miles round trips sometime in the next few weeks again. Sucky to say the least. Also tomorrow is another early morning as my Mum is due at the dentist's at 9.30 to see about a filling she lost which is causing her a lot of pain and discomfort. After the dentist she wants to go into the city centre to go to her building society and hit a couple of shops. So another tiring and early day tomorrow. Not as bad as today thankfully but still an early bird special.

Life Update

Well this time around I decided to update on this blog rather than to my invisible me blog. So since the end of May when I got my new Samsung Smart Camera my Dad's birthday has came and went as has Father's Day which was the next day.
