    Morning Everyone

    Well... guess what.... my internet is working! :j I got a phone call at 8am from sky to go through the probs, it woke me up but nevermind, so i got all my computer set up and it was working! :confused: God knows. BUt at least its on!

    Fireworks were great last night.

    I am just doing scratch cards, and then I might try and have a snooze for an hour because my head hurts. Then its a PJ day all the way.
