Snowyowl - your poor cats! Nasty neighbour - bah. You could always do an hour of study tonight?

This will make you all laugh....guess what my essay is about... motivation :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

It was at the Community Centre at Longwell Green - no slow cookers - now if I'd wanted a foot spa or steam iron, I'd have been spoilt for choice! Will continue the quest - am very tempted just to go and buy a new one but my new MSE streak is taking over!

Longwell green is my old stomping ground. Moved out just over a year ago.

I use to go but use to come back having just bought an ice cream



Yours

Yay, the Thanks button is back (but don't tell AussieLass, she doesn't deserve it - heehee!)

And more excitingly...

[EMAIL="I@VE'"]I'VE[/EMAIL] GOT BROADBAND!!!!! :j :j :j :j

Whoohoohoohoooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!

Yes folks, I am finally part of 21st century life Housemate signed up to Tiscali, and I got it installed and sorted out today (am more computer literate than housemate )

Oh yes - remember how I said that my day was going to involve de-junking my room, watching the snooker and going for a walk in the park?

Well I haven't yet done any of the above

Instead, day went like this (and very pleasant it was too): Housemate had trouble with installing the Tiscali driver software on his elderly computer. I installed it on mine instead. Off we both went then to PC World to obtain a wireless router, plus a network adapter for HM's PC. Spent £7.50 in a charity shop on 3 tops (1 George, 1 Next, 1 Oasis) and £3 on two nice gift-type candles. Had lunch at a local Harvester-type restaurant (paid for by HM to say thanks for sorting it all out ) Came home and configured the router. Found it worked fine with my network card . Had some trouble installing HM's network adapter but it seems to be sorted out now

PP - Wednesday afternoon will be great and you will be among the first to see my new haircut which I am having done on Wednesday morning PM me your address, and I'll come over about 3pm if that suits you - seems like a good time of day for a cuppa

Savingforoz - Im in Bristol too!! Where abouts are you? Im all sunny here in Fishponds! Youve just reminded me, I need to do a boot sale to get rid of the junk ive collected - Longwell Green is pretty close too so that would be handy. I dont have a slow cooker to sell unfortunately though!

JW1096 - have sent you a PM

Sorry to hear about your Grandad, VickyA. My Nan's funeral is tomorrow.

I was outranged at the price of flowers for funerals. This costs £26 so I brought 2 buches of flowers from Morrisons and made my own bouquet for £5 using cellophane left over from Christmas. My Nan will be proud. She hated fancy stuff

Hope everyone body had a nice BH weekend! Hello to the Newbs! xxx

Huge huggles to Vicky and Kat, I do envy you having them so long though, all of my grandparents were gone by the time I hit 14. I never appreciated them enough then and often wish they were around now, especially my Auntie Flo who was Superwoman in my eyes when I was small.

Thanks to the lazy beerdrinking monsters who are my DH and XDH all that has been moved in the garden is the picnic bench which I will still have to move tomorrow as they have put it in the wrong place. XDH and his OH are coming round tomorrow with the trailer to take all the garden refuse down the tip for me.

DH has retired to bed with a bad stomach so I have to go and iron the uniforms instead now, trust my luck! DS is loading the dishwasher for me. No peace for the wicked eh?

Hi Kat, sorry to hear about your nan, best wishes for tomorrow.

Essay almost done, but it is rubbish Ex-OH just MSNd me asking me if I fancied lunch with him and his new OH, made a joke about us comparing notes. I didn't find it funny Makes me feel like he is belittiling (sp?) our marriage.

Me thinks I am on edge with all this essay writing!

Need to finish so I can make tea and lunch for tomorrow, need to earn my place on the OS board!

VickyA - so sorry to hear your news :grouphug: (however if your grandpa was as much of a chatterbox as he sounds, he's probably now entertaining an audience elsewhere!) He's so lucky to have had all his faculties right to the end - sounds like a pleasant enough way to go, especially for those who had to be there at the end.

We reckon he's still at the pearly gates talking to St Peter. They'll be trying to usher him in, but not quite being able to get a word in edgeways!
