my iphone
i loved my new iphone. he was shiny and tactile and sleek and sexy. and even i could use him. but i did not want him to get scratched, so i ordered a cover from the internet. when it turned up, not only was it alarmingly, retina-searingly pink, but it didn't cover the screen and it had holes in all the wrong places. i was getting increasingly fed up as every time i wanted to charge the (now gay) iphone or take a photograph i had to wrestle it out of the case.

after about 3 weeks my trainee saw me doing this and looked at me with the kind of slightly disgusted pity that you normally only see on the faces of tourists looking at the homeless. he took it off me. he took the cover off it. he turned it around. he put it back on the right way. so that the random holes actually allowed for things like the camera and the charging cable.

we never spoke of it again.

Should be completing
middle of September sometime, survey is done and is all okay, mortgage should be approved this week. As long as no one screws up (which to be fair is highly likely) then should be in before October.

Then I go and get me some kittums.

Yay!

tell me you're not posting this from Greneda by the way....

erm yeah
Blackberries are evil. The hotel is v nice, low season so not too busy, but there's a big gang of about 20 lads and 20 girls from london here for a wedding so quite lively! The crab racing we've been invited to tonight is also the stag do so tonight could be pretty raucous - and we have a catamaran trip tomorrow, urgh!!!

I can't wait til october, we will just have to do it twice x

there's nothing wrong with having a bright pink iphone cover.
nothing at all.

The funny thing is
you take the piss out of him for being thick.

I think I'm a sexist pig.
But I have to confess that my first thought was "typical woman" then "a man would just mess around with it until either it fit better or he got bored".

I find this ironic....
you're using the term "trainee" as though someone feels confident in your ability to educate and shape another person's future in the world, yet you can't figure out the correct way to apply a Village People outfit for an iPhone

I like this!
