For as far back as I can remember I have been rather unlucky when it comes to hardware. My first laptop burned and died with no notice, my second the same. I still haven’t bought a new one due to serious, serious lack of funds. And now my trusty little phone, an 02 Ice, has given up the ghost when it comes to transferring images to a computer. The camera on my phone is pretty good for a basic-level phone, with a 1.3MP camera. Considering the phone cost me £39.99 I think that’s rather bloody good. But now I can’t get the PCSYNC software to install and cannot find it online to download. So I’m going to have to bluetooth the pictures to my mum’s phone and then use her Nokia PC Suite software to transfer my images to her computer and then upload them here. It’s worth it though, for pretty pictures of stuff.

I’ve tried emailling 02 with no luck. I’d try calling them but it’s 25p per minute from an 02 phone and even more than that from a non-02 phone. Not chuffed. I just want to be able to get the software from somewhere.

In good news, however, I’ve just booked the B&B in Blackpool for the 27th and 28th of July. It cost me £250 for 5 people for two nights. Which, y’know, is pretty damn good. Granted the boys will be paying the £50 for the accomodation themselves but I’m sending a cheque on Friday to cover the £80 deposit which covers mine & the boy’s fare. Then it’s just the bus tickets and Pleasure Beach tickets to get.

It’s going to be a rather great weekend. At the moment there’s 5 of us going, with the chance of two more tagging along. We’re going down on the Friday morning and coming back on Sunday night/Monday morning. I plan to go to the Pleasure Beach on the Saturday during the day and then go to The Manchester for dinner before hitting the pubs & clubs later that night. Sunday will be taken up with the Doctor Who Museum, the Conspiracy Theory Museum, shopping, pub lunch, a ride on the trams (sorry I’m such a big kid, I love Blackpool trams) and perchance a trip up Blackpool Tower if I’m feeling brave…
