    I'm doing ok, thanks. Garage still has stuff in it but as I never go in there myself it's pretty easy to ignore. I know that isn't going to work as a long-term plan but it will do for now :)

    Working from my new to me PC. Its a cobble together of all of AM's casts off. CPU is an Intel i7 and I have 16Gbs of Ram. I have no idea what he has in his but he always has to have better LOL!!!
    That means it's a better specified computer than either my main desktop at home (that I'm typing this on), or the machine I use to do programming at work.

    You shouldn't have a problem with that being under-powered for anything for at least a decade.

    LOL!!!

    One of AM's problems is he likes his tech!!!!

    Iphone, ipad as well as a laptop and his computer. Forgot the xbox with a 47 in TV and sound bar down stairs.

    Mine was cobbled together with the best bits from 4 machines he had lying around the house. He said the graphics card is not very good and its running windows 7.

    Will do me fine thanks. As silly as it sounds I might get more done with using the desktop. I am not sat on the sofa watching TV while on the laptop. I got a lot more done today than I have in days. As I get up out of the chair wander around do something then come back to the machine.

    We shall see. No nap today as busy tidying up and dealing with tons of washing to be done. As AM has loads of clothes he can't fit in to at the moment. But he is slowly getting back in to stuff.

    Everyone I hope you get some rest tonight.

    Take care

    Yours

    Evening my lovelies,

    I hope everyone is well and enjoying the warm weather. Hence why it so quiet. Got up to 17 degrees today with no sun!!!!!

    More stuff came out of AM's house. Nearly there I think. But only one more weekend as AM's has a TA weekend the weekend after next.

    We would be lost without AM's parents and a family friend. And all the help they have given us.

    Hugs and squishes and handshakes to all.

    Everyone get some rest. And take care.

    Yours

    Calley X

    (((elsien))) hope it went ok and today is looking better for you x.

    I'm feeling a bit 'meh' due to a run of pregnancy dreams over the last week. I'm sure it's down to job-hunting, potential changes at work etc (well, it certainly isn't due to pregnancy!).... I don't feel upset as such, just a bit out of sorts about it. Not helped by always having incredibly vivid dreams that I remember in huge detail - which means that even quite dull dreams seem like they should be significant as I remember so much about them.

    I keep dreaming that I am riding on a coach (with perfectly friendly strangers).

    Sun is shining and I feel reasonably cheerful. I have got my summer clothes out.Found a couple of items that I will give to my mother. (Who will either wear them or take great offence, depending on how her borderline pd is being).

    DH has been marvellous with housework this weekend so he got his reward!

    I am about to hit the charity shops to see if I can find some things I need for littlewing's latest fancy dress day at school. (Third one this month, but she enjoys them so much and family like to see the photos so it is worth the effort if I can get organised in time. At least I am not the only mum who has got the wrong day).

    Meh. I have a week and a half left at horrible old/new job, before I go back to new/old job. I'm finding it so hard to give a sheet and it shows.

    What's going on hbs?

    (((tea))) - I've had those dreams too and it's disconcerting.

    ww- I'm so jealous. I love making costumes but hardly ever go to costume parties.
