    After 6 years of not receiving emails from paypal I have suddenly started getting them again.. and I've had dozens.. lol.. do they send people this many normally?? I've had 4 notices of payments and about 6 others.. it is most strange!

    Ashbart.. you can send me 'budget better' vibes and I'll send you some!!

    nursery have just informed me that Tiddles is off nursery until Tuesday from today.. so I'll get nothing done and need to find childcare for her for tomorrow afternoon and Friday morning!!! that will prove impossible!!

    Off collecting tonight so I'll no doubt end up paying that £15 out to whoever looks after her!!

    ChasingButterflies and for god's sake - make sure you remember WHERE they go or else we won't hear from you for weeks...

    *giggles* you are not that lucky :rotfl:

    thanks also to soappie and G&B I hoovered and the buttons which were sticking aren't now. DH knocked a can of coke and some of it spilled into where the arrow keys are the right one doesn't work... stilll... might email off to customer support for one of those "at your own risk" replies :rotfl: I googled cleaning it and the whole keyboard (I think) comes off in one piece...

    lubyloo - lol that reminded me of when we moved in here - we had to have computer and modem out in the hall (to use the internet) lo was 14 months and crawled over the keyboard to reach something interesting... I had Turbolister open at the time but hadn't inputted my password... never did manage to figure out what she changed it to :rotfl: thankfully they just brought out TL2 so that sorted out being unable to list anything!

    I didn't get anything done last night DS was overtired - wee blighter zapped every last bit of energy from me...

    Will be back with list in hand once sky man has gone, catch you soon ;)

    (((hugs))) for lil_me

    My stuff now listed on Turbolister :D Just DD's to go:eek::eek: - having a 15 minute break to drink coffee and pee! :rotfl::rotfl: Thankfully I think I have all the pictures I need but will have to check. Will also have to see whether I'm even breaking even yet when it comes to ebay - I've got my eye on some more buffy VHS boxsets :o Oh and a pair of GHD straighteners - ex's sister has a set that I used to use when I went up there and they were the only ones that made any difference to my hair! :rotfl: Right, I have 6 minutes to pee and get another load of washing to bring down :wave:

    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    She also mangaged to turn the laptop screen upside down - apparently (after googling 'my screen is upside down' and having to try to type and read upside down too) she must have pressed ctrl, shift, & arrow key all together! Sounds like we've both got computer whizz-kids!:rotfl:

    Oooohh... why didn't you say you wanted buffy??????????

    The charity shop here had about 500 lots of them at £5 a set!!!!!!! What seasons do you want and I'll go browsing when I collect tiddles see if they still have any.. they had star trek too.. ;)

    I have some GHD's as well.. they are the only ones any of my sisters or me can use.. and my brother just shaves his head!! My sister that is a barrister and has to wear a wig (that looks like the contents of the vacuum clean er bag apparently) says her work wig is tidier than her real hair!! lol .. we all make Crystaltipps look like an Afghan hound!! (smooth and neat!)
