Diary of my new life !!!

Thankyou Spud ... I'm looking forward to christmas like a kid again now when it arrives I'm gonna wrap it up and put it under the tree Its really rare for me to spnd a big amount of money on something for me, especially something so frivalous I sometimes worry that I go too far with the dfw-ways, and sometimes I think I need to get a bit of a balance

I've just ordered the lower case keyboard for ds from ex-mi$l, so hopefully that will arrive before christmas too It came to £25 with postage, so theres still a fiver left over to go into his bank account

Now I've just got to figure out what money has to go into what account, another job for tonight :rolleyes: maybe I'll do that while parky is on

Had another thought about the Wii :rolleyes: :rolleyes: ... I've still got the £100 of £2 coins here that I wasn't sure what to do with ... if I put them towards it as well then I only need to move £95 over from the savings account

Hey benben, don't feel guilty in the slightest hon, as you said it isn't asthough you need to buy any big pressies for anyone other than you and you have worked sooooo hard this year financially. Look at the amount of money you have in that ISA, and that you have overpaid off your mortgage. you deserve some come back from all that so don't feel bad at all
(although i bet it doesn't make it under the tree as far as christmas day!! christmas eve, a few glasses of pop and you'll be supermarioing to carols from kings!!! ;-) )

I bought some empty dvd cases in Tesco and need to design something to put in them for hampers explaining that its a voucher for 6 months dvd rentals :rolleyes: I'm sooo not creative so that could be a bit tricky

My plan was to put loads of Holly on it! Get it?

But that looked boring! :rotfl:

Hi BB I didn't know you could get lower case keyboards for kids?? How dim am I This would be good for my daughter can I ask where you ordered it from please?

SS .... I love it!!! How do I print it though?? Bit of a technophobe I'm afraid!! Oh and the comment about setting it up was in reply to pania saying I'd be playing with it on xmas eve (the Wii that is, before you get naughty ideas )

Keeping Motivated ... I bought it off ebay, I'd seen them on other websites but they were twice the price They are like proper keyboards but all the letters are lower case instead of capitals and it doesn't have all the F keys or the symbols, just letters, numbers, space bar and enter. It is also colour-coded so all the vowels are one colour, the consonants are another colour and the numbers are another. They have 2 of them in his classroom and he can use it but when he tries on my laptop he hasn't a clue! It has a usb port/plug (whatever its called ) so I can plug it into my laptop for him ... I'm just a bit worried I'll have to share my laptop

All you have to do is right click it and 'save as'!

I'm doing it nicer though!

Can't find a nice font though!
