Help me please - FT crisis!!

[chykensa]

I obviously have a major problem which I need support and help with.
My rather expensive 50th birthday present, a watch, is running out of battery. To prove how expensive it is, for about a month before the battery dies completely the second hand moves in 4 second increments to save power and to warn of it's impending demise.
This has now been happening for the last week; much as I love wearing a beautiful timepiece like this, I really can't afford to spend the £60 necessary to send it back to the manufacturers for a new battery.
After a conversation with my good lady this afternoon I set about searching the internet for a cheap waterproof replacement so that I can continue to be appraised of the correct GMT/BST.
Imagine my delight, dear reader, when I discovered a suitable chronometer at the wonderful Chinese emporium we all know and love as Fasttech.
But this is where I am seriously concerned, dear friends. Not one but two watches entered my Cart, but unbelievably, I pressed the Checkout button without adding a single further item!! Not a driptip, a Protank head, or that cheap mod clone crying out to be purchased.
Is there something wrong with me? How come I actually managed to pay for something from FT without succumbing to the temptations of the other departments? Should I seek counselling?
I'm really worried that this might happen again - can you offer me any advice please?

What you need to do is share with me just how you managed it.......no matter what I order, a drip tip or two ALWAYS creeps in........please share your secret lol

Think of this as an additional purchase rather than an alternative purchase and all will be right with the world

Not even a spare Kayfun tank ???

I replace the households cheap and quite expensive (Seiko, Nixon not Omega expensive) watch batteries with a tool I got from Maplin, they do others as well. I reckon it has save me a lot of money over the years.

I don't know what to say chykensa . Sad to hear about your watch... put it somewhere safe and sort it out later.

As for the rest - I'm just not sure.

Have you considered the Samaritans? Do you want me to send you my mobile number.... I can do over the phone diagnosis'?

Trust me, I am a Doctor. I did a PhD in the contrapuntal techniques of JS Bach. Can't say fairer than that.

But...but...but...there's some driptips for 50p. You've just wasted the postmans time and you should sit on the naughty step and think about what you've done.

OMG fasttech sell watches too!!??

[ionian]

I hope those watches actually are waterproof - but if not I guess they won't be expensive to replace...

As to your other problem, clearly you have clicking fatigue. Rest, and go back in the morning to treat yourself to a new atty and 47 new drip tips. Your self-restraint tonight has earnt them!

I have always been considered Well-Tempered, djs, but this incident has me seriously concerned. Should I consider Augmentation, or perhaps more aptly in this case, Diminution? If all else fails I will take myself off to Church Stretto and Invert myself in an unpleasant Episode (with apologies to those of you not au fait with musical terminology!).

If I may make a counterpoint, just take some time to figure(d bass) out a harmonious cadence. Don't be down-beat, in time it will all come together. It may only take a minuet!
