Well, I did go into town yesterday late in the afternoon. I took my phone to the shop and a nice lady listened to my tale of woe - that my battery dies in less than a day. On a phone I got in Feb. She said that I needed to download an app to close the ones that were running already on my phone. And that started the fun......suffice to say I ws up till 3am sorting it out. I love my phone, a Samsung Galaxy Portal from T Mobile. I love the phone and really benefit form being able to read my emails and do searches from my chair downstairs when I'm in too much pain to run up here to log onto the pc.
Anyway, the app wouldn't download. Started, but was slow. Very slow. Met a good friend and went to O'Neills for a steak (very yummy, BTW). Got home and still not finished downloading. Stopped it. Restarted. Tried another app to see if the first one was faulty. Over and over. Left it to run during Casualty and a dvd and it still hadn't loaded. In the past things downloaded very quickly. Up to the old pc - after tidying the kitchen to a reasonalbe state - and it's about 1.30am. Google and the forums I know only threw up one idea so I finally tried that.
Last week Google let you change googlemail.com addresses to gmail.com addressed if you wanted. I did. And that was the problem for some unknown (to me) reason. I changed my settings in Google back to googlemail and presto, the downloads were almost instant. I say downloads because of course I found more useful/fun things and had upgrades waiting for some other apps. After it was all loaded, I changed back to gmail. And of course I posted where I could to let other people know about it. And it was 3.30 by then. Wonder if it was the two glasses of wine with dinner and the one at home that made me so sleepy?
I don't eat much chocolate normally as crisps - chips to anyone in the USA - are my fave snack food next to fruit. Not the bland roast chicken ones but the salty smoky bacon or roast beef and mustard ones. As an alternative snack I made popcorn but left off the butter and salt. Oh boy. I ate it because I was hungry and it was low calorie but it will take getting used to. And as for poor eating habits, I know that two cups of tea/coffee and no food until 6pm isn't a great idea. I'm hungry this morning so will go forage and see what I can find. The choice between Special K with berries or Crunchy Nut cornflakes is a no brainer. Why would I choose healthy over filling and satisying? (Becasue I'm too fat is not an answer that my mouth will accept.)
