moonlettuceSo, my Friday the 13th contained epic amounts of fail. Which has never actually happened to me on Friday 13th before.
Firstly, my phone's touchscreen stopped working. Not registering any touch, gone, kaput. Even removing the battery and replacing it didn't help. ( I tried four times to no avail.) I've actually been looking into replacing the phone, but wasn't going to do anything until I got back from London, so this kinda moved the timeline up.
I bailed from work a bit early to get the bus into Newcastle, and managed to miss it by about 30 seconds.
Once I got into town, I went to the phone shop. Explain what had happened and decided to go for the Acer Liquid, only to find out they didn't have any in stock. Luckily, their other shop in Newcastle did have some in stock, so off Claire trots to that one instead.
Now fully equipped with a shiny new phone, I headed home and to Morrisons to pick up food for the Avengersathon that happened on Saturday and to print out some photos to take with me to London next week. Only, half way through the printing, the machine runs out of paper and nobody in the store knew how to fill it up. They reimbursed my money for them, so I got what had printed out already for free, but still. Tres annoying.
Still, though, I got a a shiny new phone out of it.
