tvordljMust have got a bit of sunburn because i now have a huge flaky patch on my left arm. Some major exfoliation needed since creams don't help once the peeling has started.
I bought a new cordless phone/digital answering machine back in February. Surprisingly i still have the receipt. This is a good thing because i am going to take it back. Suspect the battery is borked because it does not hold a charge. I don't want a new battery, i'd prefer a replacement phone, preferably one of a different brand. I used to have a Sanyo and it lasted me 5 years before the battery started to go and i decided to get one with an answering machine combined. Hmmm i could call Eastlink. I think i may get voice mail for free and then i could get a cordless without the machine in it. I didn't bring the phone with me today, i think i'll take it over on the weekend. I'll call about the voice mail thing.
Have been making lists for things i need to book for when i go to the UK over New Year. Last thing on the list is probably the most important. "Get Passport Renewed!" but you can't do that more than 6 months before it expires and the expiry date is January so i have to wait until the end of the summer or early Fall. Been looking at car rentals as well. They all seem to be fairly competitive for rates. Aeroplan gives you a couple of discount options but apparently that's only good in North America rentals. I may go to a travel agent and see what kind of package they can put together with the flight but i'm waiting until the end of the summer. Winter seat sales usually on by then. Base price, pre-taxes and fees right now is $558 return, Halifax - Manchester, London - Halifax. It's good but i think i paid under $500 last year and booked it early September.
