The New Mobile Phone Dilemma PART 1

Every 6 Weeks, I organised a Restart Party at Leicester Hackspace along with a number of amateur/professional repairers.

My first trial at repairing an item was a mobile phone.

The poor thing painfully fell in the middle of the street as I was cycling home after a gorgeous meal with friends in an Indian restaurant. The screen was cracked and my belly was full.

I was paired up with a bald head man quite tall. He is related to one of my acquaintance who is really involved in environmental campaigning in Leicester. He is warm and a very good pedagogue. He never repaired a mobile phone like mine before. We know that there are plenty of guides online. Together we decide to give it a go.

I am smiling and cheering as we are trying to open the piece of equipments. How wonderful those green and copper pieces are assembled together. It looks beautiful, a real piece of art. We take off all the parts to reach the front screen. We replace it. We put all the pieces back together. Turn the phone on. It is not working. We are scratching our head asking ourselves what went wrong.
We reopen it, take all the piece out. Here it is, we damaged the LCD screen as we were trying to take out the front screen.

He is very sorry and feels that he is fault. I reassure him that it is ok and it was one of the greatest experience I had. I truly enjoyed it.

I have to buy a new spare part.

Little by Little, the bird learn to fly - Purge Update

The message of the Week Petit a Petit, L'Oiseau apprend a voler Little by Little, the bird learn to fly What went well this week? I sold 9 items. I relisted 124 items which are for grab NOW I reorganised my inventory at home so everything I am currently selling is in a wardrobe, ready to grab. I also brought together the items I am planning to photograph and sell next month. I tried to put a card in all my parcels. What are you thinking to improve? I am thinking to improve the message on the card At the moment, it is just ''Thank you for your order it is greatly appreciated''  Now I am thinking to write, ''Thank you for your order this week, it caused me to realise how much I love selling on eBay, packing the item and sending it knowing that someone somewhere is going to make use of it. As a result, I am going to post even more items in my shop. Keep on watching my evolution! Thanks again.'' For the drawing, I make little ...

Fashionably Compassionate Romantic - Fight against the elements and fracking

2pm - Leicester City Centre - Highcross - Saturday - It is a bit windy - I am wearing a hat, a coat, a scarve, a jean and some proper shoes. I am going to spend the next three hours outside, I better be warm. I am fighting against the elements and for a frack free world. I am with Friends of the Earth in front of Barclays with a stand. Our banner says 'Frack Free Leicestershire Network. Our main purpose is to raise awareness on fracking, Barclays investment in a company planning to frack beautiful Ryedale in North Yorkshire and the other plan possibly being drawn for Leicestershire. I have a clip board in my hand to get passers to sign a petition to halt fracking in the UK. I am in good spirit. They will understand. I notice that my dress code is at odd with saturday afternoon shopping spree. Most people wear a t-shirt, light jumper, jean or skirts, lipsticks and eyeshadows. The dress code has a purpose, they will be in and out of shops. They do not need to stand outside for lo...

Cash in Cash out

The analysis of my bank statement made me see how much I am taking out from the bank in cash but did not tell me exactly on what I was spending all of it in. So with my lovely spreadsheet, I have tracked over a month period, how much I was spending in cash and on what. Good News Or Bad News?  £363.59. It is approximately 25% of what I receive per month more or less.  No surprise I was not surprised with the money I spent on outings because it was all planned for and I actually spent less than expected. Food was almost the budget I planned for the month £50. Cash for my personal development was also planned for which is good... However It could have been a lot less... If only I - did not have lost my bus pass £60 BOOM - used other buses than the one I purchased my pass from because I missed the last one >> £7.1 - did not have bought too many take away, chocolate bar and pastry > £30 It would have been about 265.9 For the lost bus pass, tough I guess... but the war agai...
