How many threads is this now?

Morning

Sorry haven't been around but I've been working the last couple of days and last night was the school play. Today I'm working again all day.

Tomorrow I'll need to do the shopping, and I'll need at least a couple of hours to sit down and sort out my email problem.
I still can't send any emails from Outlook, and I've cancelled the dial-up connection which means my main email address will close.

I've got a new email address from the new ISP but it's not working properly. Gah! Gah! Gah!
I've downloaded Thunderbird to give that a go but need to read all the bumf first and transfer my accounts over.
Gah!!!!!!

Poor dd Berrie . I'm glad she's ok but it must have been horrible to watch.

What are you working at Oggs?

I've been asleep all morning that doesn't bode well for sleeping tonight.

Festival.

Hey! Guess what was in the post box when I just got home????? My very own copy of Twilight!!!! Yay!

Thanks so much Berrie, it was extraordinarily kind of you. Can't wait to get started.

How's your back?

Oh bugger it's a b not a f.

Get started get started!

Is this the September festival?

Back still crap. Bad enough not to want to get off the sofa to make myself a cup of tea but good enough that I could.

It sounds like bliss doesn't it, having everyone else do the work while you lie around doing nothing but I'm very bored with it. The only thing I do like is my breakfast in bed (even if it is at 6.30am) I only get this though because some of the pills need food with them.

Oooh, Oggs, will you start it tonight? you lucky thing.
The smiley thing - it says put an f in front, then lists bsmile, bgrin etc.

Oggs...I am sooooo jealous....you don't realise the treat you hold...to have not read Twilight yet...sigh...I am going to have to read them again like Lyra.

Maybe I can get a hypnotist to wipe my memory so i can read it again for the first time.

Oh good luck with that, let me know how it goes!

We've just got back from a pub dinner with some friends who have children the same age as ours. We ate and drank wine while the children played on the grass. Very pleasant.

Sounds good!

Don't know if it's your kind of thing but I just bought some great looking stuff here very cheap...look at the shoes and bags especially - think Monsoon

Well Oggs?

Hmm, it's all very...Indian.

Oggs, did you start? Zeb, where are you?

What are you doing today Berrie?
We're off to the garden centre to buy a tree to replace the one that blew over last week. DP wants a silver birch but i was a eucalyptus.

want a eucalyptus

Today so far I have been lying on the bed...again...I would like to try going out - we'll see.

Silver Birch is boring. Eucalyptus is attractive BUT IT CAN GROW INTO A VERY BIG TREE...oops.

Would it not be nice to have some blossom, autumn colour or even fruit?

I'd like a magnolia but they can get very big too. We have a very large apple tree so enough fruit there.

DP's changed his mind. We can't afford a tree, not a biggish one anyway. I told him that two days ago.

...

Do you not even like the bags?

I thought this was lovely

...and I really wanted some of these...
