Laptop hell!

This is Lewis's laptop which has been driving me dotty for the past couple of days. For some unknown reason, the sound disappeared from it. I had a mess around on it last night, trying to get the sound back. I phoned my friend, Cathy, in London who is a bit of a computer wiz on the quiet, to help but still no joy. Thanks anyway, Cathy, and I hope you're feeling better today. This afternoon I thought I might as well have another mess around with the laptop...searched through plenty of helpful forums to read up on how to fix the problems and I did it. I had to delete old drivers, download and input new drivers and the sound's back. I feel quite pleased with myself now!

Work this morning went well and I managed to get some food shopping in on the way home. I have a problem with my car window in that, if I open it, it won't close. Sometimes I forget, especially when the weather is sunny. I ended up running around the supermarket to return to my car with the window completely down before some opportunist thief did their thing. All was well and I even managed to fiddle with the faulty switch and tease the window shut again. I tell you, I have got the touch today! I worked with my colleague again (see past two days) and she is now concerned that I am down on the rota to work the Bank Holiday Monday and she isn't. She would like me to swap. I won't because it affects my annual leave and, seeing as I'm already off this week, I don't want to use up my annual leave as it will probably come in handy later in the year. Why do I feel guilty though?!!

Looking forward to this week off with the boys. I'm now going to google cheap days out in the North West. Any ideas?
