Why do laptops pick the worse time to die? Yesterday everything was fine, the laptop was happily intermittently powering up.

This morning it went off and on and I figured, Oh okay, the cord or plug isn't pushed in properly.

I checked that, nope and I saw the battery was dying 10% and then it was 5% and I quickly had to remember what brand to get.

I get the universal ones, I'm not paying £60 for a charger. The last one lasted a year, ugh!!

It was coming on to 2% very dramatic I know and luckily I still had a couple days of free Prime delivery left at Amazon.

I saw this recommended one and it was initially £24 which is fine but then it said have a discount and I realised I had credit in my account, so I ended paying £9 lol.

Woop, I forgot that I kept the previous charger for emergencies in case I got a dud or needed it and good job I did because I am using it now.

The new one arrives tomorrow but this old one is stuck on the same 2% at least it's working though, not well, I think I have to keep it plugged in but a whole day without the laptop would have been so depressing.

I have the phones but it's not the same at all. I was so flustered that I made a boo boo.

I know I wanted an extra long lead, 2 or 3 foot would have done and I bought a 10 foot one instead.

Hopefully I can just tape up the excess so it doesn't get in the way because I have a habit of stepping on the wires or the charge box, there's just not much room and it's in the way.

Oh no the battery now says 1% I don't know if it's charging or not. the symbol indicates it is but it should be climbing higher not lower.

Yup, both chargers are dead and of no use to me so I binned them.

Ugh I hope Amazon comes early tomorrow. If I had gotten up early maybe I could have gotten the same day delivery option.

Well the charger arrived on Sunday and it's long but not 10ft but I'm relieved that it works well.

It seems sturdy and it's actually a blessing this happened before Christmas as it would have been really depressing without a laptop for that long.

It was only a day without it but that was a long day, well a day and a half, technically.

I guess I have to be firm and make Mama give me answers on what's happening with Christmas.

Whether I'm attending or not. I feel so stressed and she never thinks about what it's like for me not knowing.

She will give the other two all the consideration and time in the world for what they want, even though they treat her like crap.

I will do what I can for her, to make sure she's comfortable and relaxed and yet my needs are dismissed.

Ugh I hate confrontations!!

#BlogLife485 - Ha ha..... I made you look stupid!

Are you a fan of pranks? I've seen an increase in youtube relationship pranks that are a mixture of amusing and over the top to cruel.

I guess I'm not the biggest fan of making someone look foolish or hurting their feelings on purpose for the world to see?

Where does that anger, bitterness and embarrassment go? It's a joke, so are you even allowed to get angry?

People are watching so it's better to laugh it off right? Act unfazed to maintain your dignity?

I wonder if it ever builds up though, if it lays dormant and festers and collects until it boils over.

How do you trust your partner is ever genuine, if it's all one big prank?

Perhaps as usual I am just over analysing things.. But the fake breakups, cheating tests, messing with someone's head seems a recipe for disaster.

But that's just me. I'm particularly sensitive about certain things. If someone was being nasty to me, in the guise of amusing themselves and then calling it a "prank."

I would fail to see the funny side. What if there is truth behind those words?

Those verbal attacks? It's a tentative thing to push someone's buttons until they explode.

(Side note). You know me, always distracted. I've realised that it's better to reheat these frozen meals without water.

They recommend it but it actually tastes better without it. It's not actually dry, it's just seasoned.

It doesn't need sauces or salt/pepper. I've just tried the broccoli, peas and cheesy pasta and that's actually delicious.

Nothing is over done, it's the perfect mild balance. 8 minutes seems to be the sweet spot cooking time.

My point is I think they are just going to keep escalating until someone reaches their breaking point for real.

Some of them don't even look genuine, the reactions seem too.... Not even over the top, just too polite I guess.

I would also like to see someone that isn't a model, just a regular couples vlog, a woman that can't always be bothered with hair and makeup or designer clothes.

Someone more genuine. Even if I was coupled up, there's no way I would wear makeup at home, all day every day.

Aside from rushing to change into house clothes, which is normally a kaftan dress.

I take off my make up and enjoy that fresh, clean look. I've only tentatively done it with face wipes but I'll wash it properly with maybe the brush or just my hands later.

Oh forgot to mention Mama was thrilled with all the lil gifts. I think the biggest surprise or excitement came from the mini perfumes because she travels so much, miniatures are the perfect gift.

And there was about 20, well 21 actually because one of the sellers through in an extra one.

I find with Ebay, I'm getting more freebies, which is sweet because most of the time, postage is free and trackable.

Do you ever leave negative feedback? I don't anymore, it stresses me out, that they are quite nasty and defensive about the truth.

I try to leave a thank you for the stuff I like but otherwise I don't add anything.

I have finally stopped being bloated. It's such a nice feeling to be flatter. I'm not slim but being extra full, is horrible.

I can't enjoy my meals properly because it feels so rough after eating, it's spoils the pleasure of munching.

I am trying to drink more so instead of one bottle of sugar free squash, I'm having two.

I swear the orange juice helped. I've been mixing orange and lemon and sometimes I have it weak with water and I feel a lot more settled in my tum.

I'm having a weird time with the new charger, Mama gave me that I ordered from Amazon at Christmas.

Laptop chargers are so awkward, half the time they work, half the time, they don't.

The worry is that the bit that plugs in to the laptop won't fit. That piece is fine. No issue.

What the peculiar thing is, the lead that is supposed to go into the box charger bit, doesn't fit properly.

I find that so strange, it all came together as one piece, how can it not attach securely???

Unless it was the wrong piece but seems funny, why would one bit not piece together??

The last thing I want to do is overwork my hands, trying to shove it in but that's what I've been doing.

I can't even break apart the old charger. Ughhhh too much drama.
