Have been MIA as my pc died the other night...not sure yet if I can fix or will have to dig deeply into pocket and buy a new one....thinking might just buy lap-top nobody else uses it...any advice appreciated.
Using DD3's lap-top to-night, finding it very slow so will just say hugs to all, especially to Jayne and George, welcome to any newbies, be back to-morrow if i can devote the time to this slow gadget.

Evening All

I have been such a busy bumbler today! After my dalliance last Sunday with Mystery Shopping I went a bit 'job-happy' today and booked myself up for seven...yes SEVEN bloomin jobs! Luckily 5 were in the same shopping centre and a breeze to do the other two were a bit of a drive away but it filled the day in for DH DD and me and hopefully will throw a few pennies our way. While in the shopping centre I went to Argos and bought a free standing mixer that was on offer - I used a gift card that had £3.03 on when tidying the drawers last week and I received a £10 one for filling in surveys.

DH is a bit under the weather today - sore chest and cough and DD looks like she's a bit peaky so we'll see what tomorrow brings. I have to take DS1 to work for 11 in the morning and pick a few bits up from Lidl on the way back and then i'm hoping for a bit of a lazyish day...well as lazy as it can get with 5 kids in the house!

Well nearly my bed time - early start with DD whether I like it or not!

Sleep Well!

meanmarie, if you're thinking laptop, (or even if you're not) I'd certainly say give a MacBook consideration. I changed over going on for a year ago. It is a different system to Windows etc but in my opinion not having to worry about viruses etc is soooooo liberating. I know lots of people object to the cost of Macs but I have to say I've not regretted the outlay for one second.

Not been posting, don't feel I'm OS enough at the moment Hugs to all in need.

Forgot to say, convinced DH to replace his old laptop with a MacBook. After the first day of the air being blue, he has finally admitted it's the best decision he has ever made :rotfl::T

MSD - Still praying for you and Tristan...hoping he recovers well from his surgery.
JackieO - Fingers crossed for DGS's 2nd interview.
Taplady - Hope you feel a bit better tomorrow...
Ladyshopper and RosyRed - Hope your DSs are better soon!
Bitsy - I love your smilies...especially the Friday dance (definitely made me smile!! )

Hugs to all who are "fighting" the NHS (especially Molly and NPM) - I am not a nurse, and have never worked in this field, but my Mum worked as a nurse for nearly 40 years, and was eventually retired through ill-health (brought on by the stress of 2 people covering for 6 people's jobs - due to ill health cover, maternity cover, sabbatical cover, etc) so I can sympathise...I well remember my father having to go in with my mother at weekends to help clear her filing build-up - she worked Monday-Friday officially but they spent many weekends in the office "fire-fighting" the paperwork!!! :mad:

OS for me today is still sketchy...(so still feel a fraud for posting here , but am posting anyway, in the hopes that all your good deeds rub off on me and I become more worthy of my place on this board!!). I am back in London for tonight (drove back last night and am going back up to Mum and Dad's tomorrow morning!). Dinner tonight was spinach and chickpea curry (using up a curry base and a bag of spinach from the freezer and a couple of tins of chickpeas and a tin of tomatoes from the cupboard). I left M&D with a cottage pie for lunch today and pea & ham soup and a sandwich for dinner (they are trying to eat the main meal in the middle of the day at the moment, because Mum is not so mobile!). I am driving back tomorrow morning (with a car full of bits and pieces to make the eventual house-move easier! :rolleyes:). They have lunch for tomorrow ready to re-heat, and some leek and potato soup in the fridge for the evening, plus plenty of sandwich material, so they shouldn't starve! However, I intend to be back with them before lunchtime...(I felt so sorry for Dad today, as they had 4 lots of visitors for Mum, so he was knackered with making cups of tea and playing host...that has been my job until today, so I think it hit him hard...! :rotfl:).

PitlanePiglet - Happy Birthday for tomorrow!

Hugs to all who need/want one...
