They say bad news comes in 3s

Well I think that definitely rings true after the last month, firstly my relationship with Erin fell apart. But I am feeling better about things now, I am not thinking about her so much now and starting to build a new life up and attempting to meet new people. Then I get evicted from my home because I was the odd one out effectively but that wasn’t so bad as I had every intention of moving out at the end of the past month serving out my one month notice period. So that turned out to be a blessing in disguise as I lost my deposit but didn’t have to pay rent for that month so I ended up 100 pounds up. And yesterday my laptop that I bought from PC World just three months ago died completely, no power from mains or battery, no charging lights, kaput! Although there was probably a warning sign on Wednesday when the it completely shut down for no reason while Suzie was having a play with Traktor before we opened. But I didn’t think anything more of it as it turned straight back on when I hit the power switch putting it down to a Windows glitch. The hard disk has been corrupted seriously since I had the laptop so I should have returned it for that alone. I was just going to return it to PC World and get a replacement but because I couldn’t print the receipt that was sent to me by Email as I didn’t have a computer connected to a printer available to me as the laptop was the only computer that I had to access the internet and had a printer attached! So the net result is that I borrowed £850 from my dad to buy a new laptop and ended up finding one for £569 which was infinitely better than the one I saw online and I am very happy with it. It has a 2Ghz AMD Turion dual core mobile processor, 3GB of RAM, 250GB hard disk, DVD+RW drive, and a natty little remote control that controls media center that lives in the PCMCIA port and charges when not in use. But I am still going to get the other laptop replaced to use as an exclusive DJ’ing laptop running Windows XP. Let’s hope this is the end to my bad luck now the third one is out of the way.
