Blindin computers...

Well Ive had a nosey round and the problem with me having missing bits i.e fonts and stuff seems to be because my browser isnt up to scratch. It says I need internet explorer 7 and my browser wont support it, it must have gone on strike because it was working fine before I tried to fix it lol. *note to self...leave the bloody computer alone*
Anyways,Im going to have to borrow Sams laptop and do my blogging during the day...how unfortunate is that...NOT, its wicked. Ive put an order in for one from the kids for my birthday so Ill probably get one at some point before retirement age lol.
I got a lovely new door yesterday, its a bow fronted one with 9 glass panes in and in right good nick. Theres a site called Freecycle, you have a look and if theres anything you like the sound of you email the person via the site, the good thing is everythings free, you just have to collect it yourself. Its great if youve got something you dont want, theres always somebody wanting something your throwing out. My plan was that I was goin to have it as the door into the kitchen from the backplace, a bit extra security, but that idea isnt going to work so Im going to see if I can get the council to let me have it on the front instead of the bloody horrible metal door Ive got at the minute, hopefully theyre going to say yes then Ill have light at the bottom of the stairs lol.
Its totally chucking it down here today, even my little clucks are sat in there hutch, unusual for the white one, shes a scruffy git and doesnt mind the mud, shes not her usual glowing white. Im sure she`ll look lovely again in the summer.

Well....

My computer went on the fritz so I thought it would be a good idea to do a repair thing with the disk...I should have known better because its been a pain in the arse since lol. When Im doing a new post I cant change the colour of the fonts or anything, theres no option to upload pics, no nothing. Anyways, thats why Ive not rambled for a couple of days, Ive been trying to sort it out and have now finally admitted defeat, 1. I couldnt be arsed anymore and 2. the swearing was starting to offend the dogs. Im not sure its all this clapped out pc though, I think some of it may be the network...Bt broadband is probably getting as slow as there operators lol.
My son came out with yet another pearler yesterday...hes started going to the gym with a friend and was told that if he wanted to keep fit then it wouldnt help if they kept going to McDonalds after and that they would have to start and do some healthy eating. Aparently that didnt go down to well as he said he hated salad. I pointed out that he does in fact like lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, his reply was "yeh I like them but I just dont like salad". It does make you wonder what there learning in school these days lol.
Well Im stressed and tired so Im going to sleep it off lol.

Kids...

I give up, theyve not been back at school a week and there moaning, Im tired, Im bored, I dont want to do P.E, Ive got a bone in my arm. Then Im all things evil because I wont let them have the day off lol. Im not having a whine, it doesnt phase me anyore, I think Ive become immune, selective hearing is a wonderful thing when you learn to use it well. I just take myself to my happy place deep in my head, pop out occasionally to see if all is quiet then retreat back in if theres still the odd hormone flying round. Totally different if I want a moan about something, then Im nagging, they really havent seen me when Im nagging lol. Not that I ever do of course!!!
Ive been looking for a way to make a few quid, trouble is I havent got a clue where to start. My plan is to start a business or something but Im not the brightest button in the box, its been that long since Ive used my brain for anything apart from housework and stuff its gone into early retirement. It needs a good kick up its neuro transmitters (now theres a big word for this early in the day!)
Now Im a big fan of google, its helped me out of some scrapes with my computer, but Im never sure what to trust when Im looking, so when theres a site that tells you you can be earning hundreds in a week,Im a bit wary.
Back to the drawing board for now lol.
