Well this week has been a bit of a bonus - from my 27 item To Do list that seems to keep growing I've managed to cross off two things this week. 1) got new phone - bloody finally.... and 2) found THE bag with a 2a) managed to sweet talk bag vendor into giving me the travel towel at their suitcase discount...woot!
So the phone... OMG... I was looking for the Blackberry Curve to replace my most beloved Bold... And do you think I could find one in the whole of bloody Canberra?? NO. Why? because they've discontinued it without letting me know... yeah rude I know! So after running round town to most of the Optus shops and also being told at the Woden shop that they'd be getting new stocks in on Tuesday (LIAR!!) I finally succumbed to the idea that I should probably go for the
Blackberry Torch. Now I've been a lil resistant to the touchscreen thing but because I had to get the hell away from 3 and their shite service (don't even get me started...) I read the reviews about the
Blackberry Torch and thought why the bloody hell not, if its complete rubbish I'll just sell it on eBay. So I go to the tuggerdome thinking that woden is shite and I'm not going back there... and dammit no stocks AGAIN... The girly rings around for me and finds the last Torch in Civic. Zoomed my way over there and hey presto I'm the proud owner of a new Blackberry Torch. It FAR exceeds my expectations in a Crackberry (5MP camera WITH flash thank you very much) and I can unlock it so that I can get an OS sim when I need to. So lets just leave Sas doin the happy dance with her new Torch shall we... rawwrrr
Fast forward to today when Sas decides to check out Bags To Go on the off chance that they might have the bag she's looking for. She's already checked on eBay and has seen sorta that bag she wants... but of course our Sas has a very specific bag in mind. So she heads off to BTG in her lunchtime and not only finds the exact bag that she wants but it's in smexy red, its the last one AND it's $20 off! So as she heads to the checkout to take her prize home she notices the impulse item basket at the checkout has teal (TEAL!!) travel towels that are normally priced at $29 but are $10 if you buy a suitcase. So our heroine bravely asks the woman whether her bag is considered a suitcase? The woman consults her colleague who says that they're for suitcases and while Sas' bag is strictly not a suitcase (more of a sportsbag with wheels) Sas argues the point "define a suitcase? Its a bag with a zip, usually has wheels and you put clothes in it right?" She then proceeds to beg hands clasped and batts her eyelashes to plead her case and wins over her audience :) So not only did I get my smexy red bag but I got a super TEAL travel towel (anti mould and anti bacterial and all that) and allow me to mention that its a bloody huge travel towel not one of those lil handtowel ones... happy days :)
Now back to the other 25 things I need to cross off the damned list in the next 18 weeks....
