Arrrgggghhhhh!!!!!!!


After much stamping about and swearing in the garage I have already been refunded online and it was deposited at the local corner shop for Collect+ to return it. At least the refund process was simple. Plus I've now worked out which version I really need...

i chuck mine in the top box. out of sight keeps the chav magpies from trying. having said that i use a garmin car spaznav that i stripped and waterproofed for £80 all in.

how?

i got a nuvi55lm from halfords took it apart including the screen and used silicone on all the joints and other places like the speaker, usb, card slot and button. its a fiddly job but saves a fortune. done the exact same with my last one and it lasted 5 years in all weathers including being left out in the rain for a few days. this one is on its second year and still going strong. if your no good taking things apart and doing fiddly stuff i would not do it.

for it to work you need to wire the charger into something like my gizmo and also have a home charger as the on/off button is a bit hit or miss after doing the dirty.

ok so its not got any fancy blutooth or mp3 player or other useless shizz but i only need to look at the thing to see where i'm going. i use a spaznav like a moving map. i use TYRE to make my routes then upload it to the spaznav.

I'm still waiting for Google to make waypointed navigation in android maps seamless...at the mo it needs me clicking continue to carry on after a waypoint is hit. If they fix that then bye bye to any Sat nav and hello waterproof ram mounted phone case and USB charger.

I'll be using the topbox for the same thing but I'm still going to fit an anti-theft lock for when I pop in to pay for fuel. Peace of mind is all it is and of course it will only stop the opportunist chav and not a proper thief.

Found a small lump, in my 6 year olds armpit. Got an appointment to see a doctor today, really praying he would say it's nothing to worry about. He didn't.

Blood test next week, then anxious waiting to follow. Really not sure I can do this again...all joy vanishing.

Hoping and praying for the best news on the blood test!
