Congrats on your win Nicole :T
Toni that hotel looks amazing! A friend of mine went to Tunisia a few years ago and she brought me back a silver camel keyring & told me it was lucky. She was certainly right as I had a lucky streak winning money for a few weeks! That was before I started entering comps. So look out for the lucky camel keyrings!Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!0 -
T - When you go, get me one of those lucky camel keyrings pretty please!! - something needs to change!! Not won a bean since end of october I think - a long time anyway!! Where's my comping mojo gone??
Happy birthday to Topsy and Nicole and anyone else celebrating.
I've had a horrible day with the kids but its nearly over - off to stick the dumplings in the stew and think about opening the wine!!Made it - 15 years married!! Finally!! xx:beer:0 -

Evening all,
Happy birthday to Nicole and Topsy. Congrats on the Tripp Trapp, let me know what you think of it please. It's a contender on the highchair list!
Just had my Mum and Dad up for the weekend, they left a while ago. Had a lovely time but that means I have not done any comps since Friday! Grrr... I'm not really in the position to be not comping with my lack of wins lately. Perhaps the comping fairy will show me mercy and pay me a visit next week.
Hope everyone has had a lovely weekend. OH is cooking dinner while Jamie and I watch dancing on ice! xxxAvon Rep as of 05/10/10

saw this and thought it was funny WordPerfect for IdiotsSent to Us by David Waldrop(Note from Webmaster -- Just a joke, folks! I LOVE WordPerfect, I think it's the BEST there is,
and use it every day. In my opinion, it is FAR better than MS Word, or any other
competitor. The "story" below may or may not be true! However, if it is true,
one can't help having sympathy for the fired employee in this story!)This is a (supposedly) "true" story from the WordPerfect helpline. Needless, to say the helpdesk employee was fired; however, he/she is currently suing the WordPerfect organization for "Termination without Cause."
Alleged actual dialog of a former Wordperfect Customer Support employee:
"Ridge Hall computer assistant; may I help you?"
"Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect."
"What sort of trouble?"
"Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away."
"Went away?"
"They disappeared."
"Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?"
"Nothing."
"Nothing?"
"It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type."
"Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out?"
"How do I tell?"
"Can you see the C:\prompt on the screen?"
"What's a sea-prompt?"
"Never mind. Can you move the cursor around on the screen?"
"There isn't any cursor: I told you, it won't accept anything I type."
"Does your monitor have a power indicator?"
"What's a monitor?"
"It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on?"
"I don't know."
"Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that?"
"Yes, I think so."
"Great! Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall."
"Yes, it is."
"When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one?"
"No."
"Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable."
"Okay, here it is."
"Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer."
"I can't reach."
"Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is?"
"No."
"Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over?"
"Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle-it's because it's dark."
"Dark?"
"Yes-the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window."
"Well, turn on the office light then."
"I can't."
"No? Why not?"
"Because there's a power outage."
"A power... A power outage? Aha! Okay, we've got it licked now. Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in?"
"Well, yes, I keep them in the closet."
"Good! Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from."
"Really? Is it that bad?"
"Yes, I'm afraid it is."
"Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them?"
"Tell them you're too stupid to own a computer."

How come I spend all week praying for the weekend and then by Sunday morning I am praying for the kids to go back to school! Haven't been able to enter any comps today and now that the kids are in bed I can't be bothered! Think a glass of wine, bath and bed are in order. x Rebecca xAugust wins: BBQ, Solar Garden Lights, Seeds0
