Erm ooohh ahh!

I did want to blog about something today but I've forgotten what it was. MMM it could have been about the cat but I'm not sure. Oh well never mind, I'm sure it will return to me in the next few days. Well my Open Uni course has gotten underway and I'm quite happily learning about such things as Objects, Class, Superclass, Subclass - oi stop yawning, it's only going to get worse! Yes welcome to my world of learning about Object Oriented Programming with Java. Hot hot Java. Sadly not the hot milky kind I find in my local Neros but the tippty tappity on the keyboard kind. I have re-entered the realm of the PROGRAMMER.

I have to say a big Yo to Tosha for returning some large knitting needles I had totally forgotten about them (I reckon I'd forgotten a year ago about these). Cheers lovely lady I shall stash them away in my knitting bag for next time. See there is some hope for our placenta brains. Ah that reminds me it was a video of Elvis that I wanted to share with you - erm but I've left the video downloaded on my pc in the office. Curses. Oh well let's hope I can remember tomorrow to upload it to the blog.

PS this post was wirelessly presented to you today from my bedroom

Woo hoo wireless rocks

Even thought I'm only 2 feet away from the pc and router I'm wireless nevertheless!

Weeeee!

wireless router is here - next blog should be via my laptop whilst roaming the house :)

Ta Da!!!

Knocked this up in about 20 minutes with the left over material from Phoebes cushions I made on Sunday!

Sew mad

I made some cushion covers for Phoebes wooden bench in her bedroom! Not too bad for a complete novice. The woman at Dunelm overestimated the amount of material I needed and now I have enough left over to make a large cushion.




I also received some compliments for the taggies I've made for various friends. Lucie kindly told me that people have been asking here where she got her taggie blanket from, she told them it was hand made and people said they were interested in it. So I'm off to make some little business cards and get her to pass them on to whoever asks!

RE:Things to think about

How come George (double u) Bush's Army can hit and explode a dangerous moving satellite but yet failed so many times to hit a non-moving target on ground?

To all my American friends I apologise for my previous comment. I certainly don't put you in the same light as the dumb-ass George (duuble-yaa) Bush.

Saying goodbye..

We've decided to cut our home telephone - from 20th March we will no longer have a home phone! You may ask why and the simple reason is we've all got mobile phones, and hardly used the home one. So it's time to say goodbye, somehow I don't think i'll miss it!

It's pink


More parcels

Just bought myself a bubblejum pink Dell laptop (it's got a webcam too) . Oh and did I tell you it was pink? Ok so I finally purchased one, not that i've been bemoaning the fact to my friends that buying in the states is half the price compared to buying here, but as I don't know anyone who is flying back anytime son and I needed one to allow be to be more mobile whilst trying to study for my OU degree - well I just had to buy one, and it was pink!

Parcels are Great

I wish I got more parcels! I've had a spate of them recently, first my new funky webcam arrived, next my Open University books arrived. Today I got a mystery parcel that I had to pick up from the post office. And indside was a full sized free sample of some new fabric conditioner, along with a booklet of money off vouchers. I'm really looking forward to using this one. I'm also awaiting some parcels from the Natural Collection website. I ordered some items that were on sale! Next I got 2 x 2GB sd micro memory cards (which I use for Phoebe's Nintendo to ahem store games on!).

Woohoo to parcels and may they continue to bring the joy they've brought me in the last month (especially so when they haven't cost me any money)
