Minor inconvenience

I bought a new laptop about 5 months ago, and due to my own stupidity (nuff said), I have damaged it, after getting a telling off from my little bro, he sent it back to the manufacturer to see if they can repair it, me like an idiot didn't back up my files that i had on the hard drive, so any work accumulated over the last 5 months could be gone. My lil bro also told me to back everything on a separate area of the Laptop, which i did write on a sticky note to do, which i stuck to my laptop (but never got round to doing, as u may have gathered.)

Before you say, you should have said it on a USB pen, i did start doing that, then lost my USB pen not once but twice, once it was returned to me, the second time, i don't know where it is. Anyone who knows me will know that i am bit dopey, in that way, always leaving my phone in the car, with the door unlocked etc. When i was a kid, I used to get the bus home with my brother when we used to go home from Sunday School (learning chinese, not religious stuff!). I think 2 weeks in a row, i left my school bag on the bus! USB pens are a bit easier to lose though.

I have learnt my lesson from the above, if i get my laptop back repaired, i will back up all my files at least weekly and i have two dangly keyring things on my USB so they are harder to lose (she says)

Im back to using my old laptop, which is a lot slower (no WIFI) and house a defective mouse cursor meaning the mouse jumps around everywhere which is so ANNOYING!!! The wireless also cuts off every now and again.

The good thing is i spend less time surfing the internet because i dont have the patience for the above.

I hope the laptop can be repaired and i am covered under the warranty (which would be lucky as the fault is mine, not with the laptop itself!!)
