Day to Day chit chat 2010

[Mandy]

My eyes need testing.............I'm thinking in investing in one of those daylight lamps to help in the evenings, I just can't seem to thread a needle.

I'm having a cracking day, right up to date with the orders, even doing todays which hasn't happened for ages, so Monday will be a good one. Also, found a few things which don't appear on the shop yet, so even more stuff to sell

Other than that, the weekend is looking like gardening, cleaning, cooking, and my favourite crafting. They still haven't been to over those moss rocks so the front garden looks like a rock climbing school. We've got a cute little grey cat who visits from next door and this morning he was running and jumping up the trees and bushes........then went to sit on the log, so he's enjoying himself. Luckily, our cat didn't see him cos she goes berserk when there's another cat in the front garden.........even though she's never been out there herself, she still see's it as hers.

Those lamps are great Mandy...I use mine all the time. I have a small desk lamp, and inherited one of those big ones with a magnifying part in it as well. I have to get my eyes checked, just need to actually go and do it (it's on my list).

I have a migraine at the moment, so have been taking it easy. We don't have anything big planned for the weekend. I know that we have to take gear over to my brother. Sometime over the weekend I have to design 3 cards for next weekend's class (haven't received the gear yet, so not too sure what the theme will be).

Anyway, I hope that everyone has a great weekend.....

Hope you are feeling better Kerry, those migraines can be a real pain.
Sounds like you are having a great day Mandy and lots of plans for the weekend.
My wonderful hubby decided I needed a new computer so we picked it up yesterday and I have spent the last couple of hours setting it up, not that it needed a lot. Seems to do a lot of it for you now. So now I have 1tb of hard drive, 4 mgs memory and lots more I need to find out about. Ron reckons I set up all the important things in my life first, Craft Mad, Mail, Blue Edge, Footy tips, Ebay and Gold lotto. Obviously a lot more to go on yet but it is a start.

Hi all

WOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOO I have my new glasses!!!!!! will get pics over the weekend & show you I LOVE THEM!!! I actually didnt need new ones but wanted new frames

Brayden did FANTASTIC at swimming today he got 3 4ths & a 2nd, never been a place getter before so its a huge improvement & now he is super excited as he goes to the interschool swim carni next week

Bought a new printer too, got a wireless one about to go set it up

[eyak48]

Good on Brayden, he must be so pleased with his efforts.
Still uploading things ot the computer, Windows 7 is a bit different to use, just not finding some things after I download them but I guess in time it will all come to me. I have replaced my craft room computer with my old one and will finally get rid of that old clunker out there. Determined not to spend all day sitting here though. Have one more garden to clean out then we can ring soemone to pick up the mountain of ruibbish. Alos have some plans to do some craft.Enjoy your weekend everyone.

[Mandy]

Hope the migraine has gone, kerry, nothing worse hey?? Anything that stops you crafting isn't good..............especially if its painful or worse still work

Good on Brayden, way to go with the swimming. That new computer sounds like just what you needed Kaye, anything to make life easier....bet its faster than you can think now

We've just voted, got the veggie shopping and I'm now thinking about what to have for lunch. My stupid cat is in the moult stage and keeps being sick.......lovely NOT. I try to brush her every day. She had a fit today when the grey kitten from next door had the audacity to step onto her front verandah.............you should have seen her banging on the glass and hissing. Don't think the kitten quite got it, as it just sat there looking in at this mad thing.

[Tina]

Woohoo I have just successfully printed from the lappy to the new wireless printer I bought yesterday YAY!!!!!!!

Mandy I have a horid time brushing Miss Stitches then I heard about a brush called the Furminator OMG this brush is just AWESOME!! I got mine off Ebay heaps cheaper but the original brand & wow when I brush her its just like in those pics so much fur comes out & she actuallly doesnt mind this brush. I have lots count of the amount of brushes/combs/gloves I have bought over the last 4yrs but this one is the best!!

[Mandy]

Thanks Tina, might have to investigate one of those brushes. She's off ehr food at the moment, think its because of all the fur getting stuck, I ahte this time of the year witha fluffy cat..............everything gets coated.

[eyak48]

Monday again. What happened to the weekend? I think spent mine lost in computer world. Just about have it organised now so lots to catch up on especially in the gallery, lots of new things there I see. Lots of mail to answer as well so best get to it.

[Tina]

Kaye I think someone stole the weekend!!

Mandy I paid about $20 on Ebay for mine & honestly its just amazing!!

We got rain yesterday & lastnight about 15 mils WOOOHOOO first rain since Oct '09!!

Have a house inspection today off to vac & mop the floors

[Mandy]

Did you get more rain overnight Tina? Ian was telling me that you've had really bad storms over there. We're still waiting for a bit of decent rain, although I think we'll do without the flooding thank you

Good luck with that computer Kaye, there's always something you've forgotten, last time I did mine it was the scanner, luckily it was easy fixed...just plugged it in and it found it, got to love that

Busy day today, must be the newsletter we sent yesterday, certainly got things moving in the right direction....especially me lol

[eyak48]

Slowly getting there Mandy, had a couple of issues with my printer but that seems to have resolved itself. Just copying a few things off my other computer now. Lot of craft time being wasted here.
The newsletter prompted me to put in a small order, just to keep you out of mischief ... as if, but no rush if you are busy. Best ever prices I've seen on the Spellbinders so hope to grab a couple more before the month is out.
My DH is taking me out for lunch today, such a long time since we have done that. I could tell you I am still sitting around in my pjs at 10.24 but I won't because you will think I'm slack. Amazed we haven't had visitors.

[Tina]

no more Rain Mandy Perth coppe dit but we go SFA!!!

[Mandy]

That is amazing Kaye, if ever I stay in my PJ's past 10 you can gaurantee we have visitors.............now, whether I open the door and let them in is a whole other matter

That happens to us a lot too Tina, rains in the City but not here, they sure did cop it in Perth though, how big were those hail stones. It is a bit worrying not having much rain for so long, you just know when it comes it all comes as one huge flooding downpour.

Our temperature is going back up thsi week, although I don't think it's expected to go above 33deg. I only just managed to get on here today and comment, been as busy as anything................cold be something to do with a few price reductions. Now, I'm off to make a nice cup of tea before starting on the stickers top up and sort out for next weekends craft fair.

[Juliemak]

Blast and damnation. I just did a whole thing on how I'm so busy I don't get to post on here as often as I'd like and it told me I wasn;t allowed to post on here. I went back and re logged on and my whole post disappeared.

Here is an abridged version.......

I've been busy!!!! LOL
