For some reason I've got s £25 off voucher for any ebay purchase over £50 bought with Paypal. Either everyone else has got one - which seems wierd or because I've not done any business on Ebay for some time (been damn busy). Don't know, don't care spent it anyway have got a set of Remo Pinstripe heads coming which were £52.99 but with £25 off, came to £27 which for a set of pinstripes is a bloomin reet good deal. Anyway look out for the pics when have got them, it'll look the business!!
Solid Saturday 8.5 mile run
Weighin Week 57 - half pound on 14st 13.5lbs - panic ye not
Put on half a pound last week which wasn't bad when you consider it had Easter eggs, whisky and stella involved in it. This week have committed to keep off the alcohol and thus far have negotiated friday night successfully. Am not going to football this afternoon so Saturday should be okay (Derby'll probably win as well with a bit of luck) and if I play golf tomorrow I should be okay there as I tend to have a coffee after a round rather than a beer anyway so am hoping to see a good weight loss next week.
PC Recycling
Last night I recycled a computer from work that was destined for recycling. Am doing some work on the WEEE directive (Waste disposal of Electronic and Electrical Equipment) for work. One of the questions I asked was "why do we we throw things away that could be recycled/repaired", the simple answer is it takes a lot of man-hours to get things repaired even if you have access to the parts (it's taken a good two weeks to get this beggar going and Phil says it had a thermal shutdown event this morning so maybe not quite there yet either (praps needs a bigger fan chucking in it). Another reason there's a WEEE problem is that often in the case of a printers it costs £180 for a new set of rollers to get it going again (typical problem after a few years) and to get a new printer costs £200 - bit of a no-brainer and in my view one of the root causes of the problem. Anyway hey-ho such is life. Anyway P.J. got an old new PC and Slimming World's SMILEs charity getting a donation come Monday.
