  • Sorry that you are ouchy but as you say could have been so much worse.

    Netbook in your handbag like the sound of that - Right confession time part 1 of the DT makeover is complete I have bought a new handbag and purse and they are both Radley I blame you lot you have led me astray but I love them :D and I needed a new bag and purse desperately now I just hope I can find some clothes to go with them tomorrow. I did buy them in an outlet store and there was a further 25% off so not too bad it was nice spending money on me for a change;)

    Well the PC isn't wireless enabled so it will mean getting a wireless card.....will ring PC World tomorrow and see what I need.

    And I can't get the touchpad scroll to work on the laptop - must be doing something wrong, but haven't yet worked out what, and the user manual doesn't help! Bah!
    my laptop has a nifty little button just between the keyboard and the mouse pad which is great for stopping myself shouting very loudly every time I mistakenly touch the keypad when typing long documents.

    well done on the saving up! that is brilliant. Hope you recover quickly from your bumps and bruises. Glad at least you didn't seriously injure your head although what you did sounds painful enough without any complications!

    TFI Friday :j

    The swelling in my hand has gone down a little overnight which is good news, so I am sure that I will be fully recovered in a few days. I am driving down to Kent tomorrow morning to ski, so am not particularly looking forward to the drive as my arms/shoulders/neck are pretty stiff but I will just dose up with ibuprofen beforehand and get on with it.

    Off to bank and scratch now - hope you all have a good day x

    Good morning Hypno, pleased to hear that last nights shopping went well, and that the bruising is starting to go down. Hope the bruises on the face don't get too colourful!!!!

    DT - well done on the Radley handbag & purse. Any chance of more details, it's nice to see what everyone's buying.

    Scratchies done, another goldfish day, got to think about what to do with V. I do deposit every so often, and then take the cash out later in the month after playing a few games. Especially if I've had a win or 2 on the free bingo.

    Got to get on Rightmove and do another county. I did work on the saved one's last night, and cut it down a bit, but will do more on that at the weekened.

    Hope everyone has a good day :)
