    Triker thats what i had but it was coming up vista security 2012. Another lady had the same issue when I went onto the techie board so I follwed the instructions there and have removed it all this morning.

    Hex the morning sickness has almost stopped :jstill feeling icky and yucky through the day but thats due to not being able to take painkillers or hayfever medicine. Am really suffering with itchy eyes at the moment so trip to the chemist tomorrow as at the moment im washing them with contact lens solution every hour or so just to get some releif.

    Ive made an executive decision. My nice gorgeous 600thread count bedding can go throw itself off a cliff! Its a bleep to iron, its taken me an hour to do a king sized duvet cover so from now on bedding is going to be sent out for ironing and thats that :p

    Yes it comes under many guises, its the same virus though. Glad you got rid, I was panicking for a minute as it was saying someone is hijacking your computer right now....:mad:

    Good [STRIKE]morning[/STRIKE] afternoon.

    DH has just cooked the kids [STRIKE]breakfast[/STRIKE] brunch (something wrong there, i think!) He got home at about 7.30 last night and says don't ever let him do anything like that again! (He has the London Triathlon in 5 weeks!!)

    I hope all the ladies with tooth/mouth pain are feeling better, and I hope Squeak improves Pigpen.

    I have a question for Lamewolf :)Is your dog sitting agency local to you, or do they cover all areas? I assume they match dogs up to sitters (mine is quite high energy). I really need to get him sorted for our holiday, and this was an option I hadn't thought about.

    I am going to have a quick clean up, i think. Off I go!!!

    I had one once.. I hacked it off with a scalpel during a biology lesson at school.. I dread to think how dirty that scalpel was lol.

    Haha, well at least it wasn't a craft knife in DT, eh :D

    I'm making a toots list. Lots of ebaying to do :o
  • Sounds exciting greenbee, I love travelling by public transport - I'm such a weirdo :p though I guess it loses its appeal if you have to do it a lot for work.

    I had to spend about 3 hours in a car on Thursday (not even all in one chunk!) and hated every minute of it.

    Now, I'm not going to achieve all that today, but I am going to attempt the stuff in black & bold. It's a hodgepodge, I know, but I need to get surfaces (incl floors) cleared before I can move on to other stuff. No stars for me this week, but I'll get there.

    At least the Boiler is fixed now, so I've hot water and no excuses!

    Happy vibes and hugs to all who need them. Off to get dressed now, and will pop back for HHC at 1.30, if anyone's up for it?

    Somewhat more than HH Packing done; tackled the stuff I need help with (ie supplies out of loft and so forth), and got our meds sorted, which took a while. But at least I can see what meds to order to have ready to collect when we return, and our wash bags are all done and got everything we need in.

    Goodintentions the dog-sitting agency is nationwide; each agent covers a particular "patch" of the country. PM me if you want any more info.;)

    Gotta take Sid for walkies now, then try and get him to eat some more [STRIKE]cardboard[/STRIKE] delicious Hills Prescription Diet for Dogs.:D
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Oh good grief, i have never been in this much pain!! My tooth hole is throbbing and aching so badly! :( Just waiting for NHS Direct to phone me back with advice. I thought that the pain would stop when i had the !!!!!!! thing out!!! :(

    Am I right you had the tooth out and now have pain? This can be something called dry socket (Triker had it or her hubbie I think) and it is awful - you will need help - good luck

  • Morning all.

    jo does your DS watch DR WHO and how old is he? (don't say 900!!) DD wants to watch and I won't let her.

    Dining room vacuumed and dusted, load of washing done, kitchen reclaimed.

    Puppy and baby both appear to be teething.
