Universal Laptop charger

[SandyD]

I am working in Europe traveled today to get to work, I realised I forgot my laptop charger, so quickly bought a universal laptop charger from Dixons at the airport, my laptop brand was on it, and I specifically asked the sales person about it ... because I was in a hurry to catch the flight I didn't open it there, and as expected, when I arrived and tried to use it, it didn't fit
So am stuck here two weeks with no laptop charger... any ideas?

1. Buy a universal laptop charger.
2. Go to a small PC repair shop and buy correct charger.
3. Buy a new laptop.

2. is a good bet.

Sounds like three is your best bet then.

Or just switch off, have a break and put your feet up for two weeks.
