    Much hilarity on here :)

    Morning!!

    (lula I hope I didn't offend you about the wire/phone thingmy I was sure you'd tried it :) - hope you got the disk)

    Hey, I'm not offended at all sweetie :D

    I am a bit ashamed though as techie things that dont work first time just make me revert to 3 year old behaviour like wanting to stamp my foot :o. I know i have the cd, it's the will to go through the process that's lacking :rotfl:.

    Hope everyone else is ok :hello: & I'm going to move on quickly before anything about poles escapes my lips ...

    Yes, I have a smoke alarm, yes I check the battery & yes I love handbags :huh:

    Sorry been a bit slow catching up here.
    No problem - hope you're doing ok.
    Back to the laptop I am on virgin your router password is the same one you use for your email account or to go online for your virgin account HTH
    :rotfl:they shut my email account down without telling me when I moved from adsl to cable at the last place, and I refused to let them open one up again. As Lula mentions below, I've lost the will to live on this, I'm going to get a man in :D:D:D another man :D:D:D
    Had to laugh at smoke alarms when we moved here there was a burglar alarm connected to the police but it kept going off for no reason so we disconnected it from the police one night it went off at 3am and we couldn't turn it off so OH in the rain on a ladder went up and cut the wires to the box it would stop and then immediately start again he cut every wire he could find until eventually it stopped meanwhile my Mom and the eldest twins who were about 7 then slept through blissfully unaware so not sure how good a smoke alarm would be for them because boy was it loud.
    Oh my word :rotfl:well, I could hear its beep through 3 closed doors, on a different floor. Mind you, I slept through the 1987 hurricane. It varies :rotfl:
    Just thought I'd add to this, when DS was at junior school, I would tell him that he could invite friends round for tea if he wanted, but he always said no. Eventually he told me that he would rather not have his friends have food that was cooked according to whether the smoke detector went off or not. I thought that was the only way you knew things were properly cooked :-)
    Bless! :rotfl: The only way I've found not to burn food is to use my watch alarm....

    I'm kind of chilled this time, but the minute I speak to a so-called helpline, I feel a murderous rage coming on me :rotfl: I'd rather pay for a man :D:D:D I just love saying that :rotfl:

    Anyway, this morning - I've done housework! In a part of the house that clients don't even see! I can't quite believe it :rotfl:Definitely feeling chipper. And getting a real sense of, oh, okay, I *can* have a life again :j

    Done loads this morning - I'm definitely a morning person, which is very handy for the trading, but now I have to eat something else besides breakfast - working between 12.30 and 4, so I must have something else.

    Hope everyone is well - and I do think it would be quite fun to see Z in a fireman's outfit ;)

    i work where men in uniforms are wondering around all day, you do end up getting a bit bored by it all :)

    i also slept through the 1987 huricane and a burglar alarm which was the other side of the house wall to where my head was on the pillow. I also used to sleep through the ambulance turning up to take my dad to hospital and my mum telling me where they were going.

    EH, i was a good girl, when my exhaust fell off my car on the way to our holiday last year we both got out of the car. I did ask the rescue person on the end of the phone what was advised but they didn't have an opinion. (they also sent the rescue truck to the wrong place, even after i gave them the number on the plaque on the road as my dad taught me to do.

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: still fantasizing, I see :rotfl:

    I've mostly been working, but *have* managed to get my walk in, which I'm pleased about, and, ahem, written my list for *tomorrow* - I was overcome with an urge at lunchtime to rearrange my books - partly to make them something other than furniture (if I don't know where the subjects are, so to speak, I have to range over the whole house, and if I can get all the bookshelves sorted, I might be able to get the work files onto the shelves too, which I've never managed before.

    Massive decluttering, that would be :j Thats partly what I was doing last night - checking through the accounts records that I have to keep - just throwing out the last page of supermarket delivery listings has found me another inch of space on the shelves, astonishingly - and I noticed that my living room isn't musty any more, the way it was when I first moved in. Partly cos I'm using it now, but partly because there's such a lot less paper there :j:j:j

    Oh - the laptop? I'm phoning a computer man, I'm not prepared to faff around any longer.

    A laptop man!!!!! - OK not even going there

    I have been having an accounts kind of day. Money post for the first time in a long time is actually going to go on my diary as I have extracted the head from the sand and can no longer be called Octavia. I now want to be Hartley Hare and race for the finish line.
