And my giant bone hurled square in my chops, with enough force to take a Polar bear* out, this week is a very valuable life lesson:

READ ENCLOSED INFORMATION WHEN YOU GET NEW STUFF!!

Because, funnily enough, most of the answers and solutions are in there, for later down the line when say, your laptop implodes, taking you and all your hard work with it.  I say hard work, just work.  Also, there may have been a lot of series catch-up, online shopping, film watching and the tiniest, weeniest amount of inappropriate viewing going on.

(this ‘READ THE BLOODY INFORMATION!!‘ rule also applies to cameras, TVs, DVDs and in fact any home entertainment device, cars, iPods, mopeds, telephones/mobiles, bread-makers, work contracts, marriage vows-very important, Nespresso machines and Ryanair hand luggage restrictions)

p.s. my mobile is also on the blink.
p.p.s. I didn’t READ THE BLOODY INFORMATION!!

*polar bear reference random, but was biggest, strongest animal I could think of………
