[-JERRYCOOKE PHOTOGRAPHY-]

I went in yesterday to get by ALG (Adult Learning Grant) form stamped, and they informed me that I had about 5 weeks of back pay due (which works out to about £150!!)...

This means I'll finally be able to send my S70 of to be repaired. Goodbye broken screen... Goodbye broken slider... Hello sniney new repaired camera...

Just got to wait for the form to be processed by the office in Manchester, and then my payment should be cleared.. Hopefully have my camera repaired by new years... yay!!

After our second lunch date, it's been accepted that Tash and I are officially 'going out' (translation to american: 'dating')

Tee Hee, makes me feel like I'm back in high-school!

Have a lunch date with Tash in 15 mins...

Really nervous, but excited...

Wish my luck!

Twas darrren's birthday party at the cavern last night, the evening started off bad, with my first train being cancelled and the seccond one being delayed by 20 mins...

The evening was really good!! Good music and good friends...

I'll post pics monday, cause a couple of us stayed at Emma's last night (I ended up with the couch, typical!!), so I've not but a cable for my camera...

Today I'm very happy, and slightly besotted. Won't say any more though, wouldn't want to jinx it...

Just got back from Jessops...

They've told me that it'll cost  £138 to repair my beloved S70...

Cons: Don't have that kind of money, and may have to hock my iPod to afford repair

Pros: It's a universal, non-specific repair, so it will also fix the dents in my case and the problem with the sliding shutter...

Just have to see how it works out... at this rate the camera will end up costing me £800 instead of the £400 credit I got 8 months ago...

grrr!!!

The screen on my S70 has cracked!

I don't know how or why, since it was only in the pocket of my suit jacket as I was wearing it, and I can't see how the screen could have been damaged through the reinforced plastic....

Ho hum, I'm going to have to go into jessops and ask about repairs. In the meantime I'll just have to take lomo shots or imagine I'm using an old-school 35mm...
