8th-Apr-2009 09:26 am - Bah.. cats..
carwash
There is a problem with being too nice. Exhibit a :

cats on their fluffy bed

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I took the metal frame out of a radiator bed and wrapped it round a wicker basket. Both cats adore this, unfortunately to the point they will no longer cuddle up to me in bed :(. Well, it's either that, or the ibuleve I put on my toe is disgustingly smelly to cats, but I doubt it.

If this continues the cats will have to learn the hard way that No Cats On Bed=Bedroom Door Shut. My lower lip is sporting a scratch from a git of a cat trying to wake me up this morning.

Exhibit b : Cairo on "his" pillow. A pillow that ended up on the landing, got claimed, and never left.

Exhibit c : Maisie on the fluffy bed

In other news I received a message from Amazon about a marketplace transaction that hadn't been paid into my bank account. It's been *years* since I used it (actually about 2005).

Amazingly it turned out not to be a scam, I really had forgotten to enter my bank details and the princely sum of £5.88 will be winging its way to me in a couple of weeks. Break open the champagne!
23rd-Jun-2008 03:33 pm - Amazon : made of win..
carwash
As noted on [info]ramtops LJ, and originally poked into action by, I think, [info]36's LJ, I have succumbed to every Babylon 5 episode and film, ever for 79 quid. This was after *cough* obtaining *cough* the first series, realising I did want to watch more of it and that the price was rather good.

I've also ordered some Rimsky-Korsokov, Annie Lennox's latest solo album and some Beethoven. This takes a just over three figure chunk out of the share dividend I got last week. yay.

Then, when I go to the delivery page, Amazon offered me a free one month trial of Amazon Prime, so I'll get everything tomorrow.

Can you say Win? :)

Alternatively, if you're less of a video snob than me and still have a VHS player lying around, videos on Amazon are now utterly worthless. A complete Babylon 5 VHS on that has gone for less than a tenner, more than once. Even allowing for the huge shelf space requirement and less than brilliant video quality, that's a bit of a bargain..
