SNOW! SNOW!!!!1

[rebness]

Ahem.

How I love snow. Just been playing with my dogs out in it. They love it as much as I do! Must actually get a camera tomorrow and take pictures. :D

So my laptop is a load of crap. It's ridiculously slow at processing and ugly and oh yes, it burns through chargers and won't recognise the battery so I have to keep it placed at a certain angle or it switches itself off. One tax rebate later, and I'm in the market for a new laptop.

I spent my lunch hour today checking out different sites. The best deal for the one I wanted was at Dixons (a UK electronics store). I started to fill in my details when I noticed this:

 

Immediately, I checked the site address. A phishing website, perhaps? A fake address? I clicked around the website to see if there were any other obvious errors. I didn't find any but I decided on one of two things:

1. It's a phishing website. Abort, abort!

2. Dixons is sloppy and also offends my sensibilities. Abort, abort!

I went to another online store and bought the laptop there instead. So, you know. A sale lost because of sloppy grammar. I am badass. And also a dickwad.

Also, I've just realised that the snow will delay my sexy new laptop getting here! Daaaamn.

LOL, awesome post. It was a good idea to walk away from them. Or as you so eloquently put it....abort! abort!

We got a smidgen of snow here yesterday and there is supposed to be a smidgen more on Sunday. It's just enough to be obnoxious, not much fun, but I'm glad you're having a nice time. I would love to see some pictures.

We have to stick up for grammar!

Yes, that's exactly it! I like it when it's enough to be pretty, not enough to destroy my life. >:)

Gav's just measured it as 10cm deep. It's the end of the world! Pretty though. Why can't it be gorgeous to look at without the inconvenience of slowing all transport down? I'm waiting for a large parcel from the US, which is being held at the International Hub in Coventry until it clears Customs. I'm hoping it gets here before Christmas Day but who knows?

Shameful grammar, Dixons.

10cm! Whoo! :D

I know! I wish it was all magical like in the films, with Christmas presents and happy times and snow. I guess we just have to settle for 10cm of snowy goodness.

170CM NOW (FORGIVE THE CAPSLOCK: I'M HOPPING BETWEEN JOURNALS :D)

HURRAAAH!

(ME, TOO!)

I'm going to take the dogs out when it's really late and have one of our fun Snow Walks around the village. >:D

I hope the dogs have long legs!

I wish it would not snow on the roads. That would fix the problem! We had about four inches yesterday. Pretty but not too intrusive.

Huzzay for new computers in all forms...and good job you noticed that ypo on that site. Yikes!

Three cheers for appropriate festive icon!!!

Yeah, that's about right! Love it. I always love the weather you get, though -- your pics of all those sunsets and such are gorgeous.

Logging on is such a chore at the minute because I have to sit at a cramped desk with the laptop. Hopefully I'll be back to writing and stuff soon. >:D
