i now have a proper old-fashioned coatstand! i looked all over leicester for this, before finally finding it in Habitat. And then carried it all the way to my flat (in the rain). Apparently I can collect my mailbox key from letting agency tomorrow. I also now have a licence to ~~be brainwashed~~ recieve television broadcasts. so will be taking my telly to flat and getting a freeview box and a splitter and an extension cable. bloody knackered.

pub quiz tonight at the Marquis! If you know about sport or geography, please join our team. tomorrow should be a bit more of a quiet day, with Charli visiting the flat. Then Wednesday will be another Ikea trip, to buy shelves shelves shelves and possibly a sideboard.

Update at 7pm: Now have temporary television (until we can be bothered to move the big one) and a reasonably inexpensive freeview PVR. I can rewind live TV! Wardrobe now done (apart from the handles), and good progress on bed.

So which PVR did you go for in the end? I was thinking about getting one of the nokia ones that do cable.

this one (http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10001&langId=-1&catalogId=3801&productId=154819&Trail=C%24cip%3D28956.Sound%2Band%2Bvision%3EC%24cip%3D29025.Digital%2BTV%2Band%2BFreeview%3EC%24cip%3D29028.Top%2Bup%2Btv%2Bset%2Btop%2Bboxes&categoryId=29028&clickfrom=name). it seemed to work ok when i fiddled with it. not as magical as a Tivo alas (I still have to tell it what programs I want to watch)...

Hmmm gadgetry..

I fancy a recordable DAB radio. However if I did buy one I'd probably never use it.
