Trips lol

Ok went shopping last night to asda with my bestest pal...First asda didn't have the telly i liked in stock...They tried phoning one of the other ones but they couldn't find anyone in the telly dept to ask...So went did normal shopping and on way out i went and asked at customer service what time the other one closed at...Bearing in mind this was around 11.20pm and the other asda would be roughly 4 or 5 miles possibly 6 away...After about 10 mins they found the telly i was after and it was the last one in stock...So asked them to hold it and i'd be right there as they closed at midnight...Lovely drive in freezing fog along the dual carriageway through major roadworks that aren't properly lit...FUN!!!!!...Anyway i got my telly and there was 10% off it so cheaper than i thought :o) It's only a wee 26" LCD one but it is HD and comes with freeview built in...I now need a new ariel though cos the freeview is cack and to be honest my reception has been going cack since oct anyways...Channel five has all but disappeared and it's a Ch5 ariel and been fine for the last 7 or 8 years...Am pleased with my telly i didn't want a massive one and it is my treat...Dropped my pal off and i got home just after midnight...Got out of the car and started unloading stuff...Had the boys waiting at the bottom door to carry stuff up to the flat...And i tripped and went sprawling over the doorstep :o(  Nice old victorian tenement double step doorstep...I cracked my right eye off the top step, cracked my right shoulder somewhere, bashed my right thigh, knee and shin and both ankles are iffy too...No i didn't go to A&E...I have a lovely black eye for christmas...I did drive down to collect K and am stiff as a board...Stone cold sober as well so can't even use an excuse of having one too many...It probs wasn't the best idea to drive today but i want my darling daughter home for Christmas...It was cold when we left, around 2 degrees but once past Stonehaven the temp dropped and was -2 degrees for some of the time...Angus was pretty horrendous for driving in but beautiful at same time...The frost on the fields, hills and trees was magical...The frost/ice on the roads wasn't magical at all...It started to rain as well but temp was so low it was freezing on the windscreen...I had to stop to de-ice the windows and the wiper blades...I had to stop later to clean the windscreen because it was filthy and the washers were frozen up and not working...I wasn't the only one though and thank goodness it is dual carriageway and not motorway to Perth...Otherwise me and everyone elsae would have had to stop on the hard shoulder to be able to continue on...A blizzard would have been better LOL...It was positively carribean in livingstone being 6 degrees LOL...I know the car will just get dirty again driving to mums tomorrow BUT i am going to have to take it through a car wash first thing tomorrow...It's supposed to be white but with the weather today it is black and ugh...Bit like my eye ROFL...Seriously the bone of the eye socket is mega sore so i will go to GP on monday...I need to see GP on monday anyway because i need to order a letter for M as the education dept need one before they will stamp the licence form thingy...Anyways got 2 swarovski crystal bracelets to make

Oh dear, sorry about your accident.  Feel better soon. Glad you got your t.v.  We shall have to get a new one because of the switchover but can only have a small one because our room is small.  Your one sounds just right for us especially with freeview built in.  You will have to let me know the make although it will be impossible to buy now until we have saved up some pennies.

Aww no Caff, look on the bright side, at least you weren't holding the tv when you fell

Poor you, a black eye and black ice on the same day but as others have said, weren't you lucky not to be carrying the TV - I daresay that's small comfort tho. I hope you all have a good Christmas.  
Btw 26" is 12" larger than I've ever had (as the actress said....lol)
