Shorts…

….cos I haven’t got time for longs.
Waiting impatiently for my new motherboard to arrive. Caroline has paid for it – ta! It’s a good one too, better specs than the one that went bust.
I really wish now I had done some research last year, before I ordered all the computer parts from that shop. I trusted them to be nice and give me a fair deal; I’m realising now that they ripped me off with cheap substandard parts.
In the meantime, having to wait for B to let me have the odd hour on his machine, and he’s busy now with getting the 2007 Elfin Desk Diary together. So I’ve not been posting here – just haven’t had the time.

News in the last week:
We had a big leak in the central heating system – plumber came, fixed it, replace the faulty thermostat as well. The thermostat was wonky for ages, and I often suspected it was using far too much electricity. So, with luck, our lekky bill will be going down.
Son will soon be moving into Trevor’s flat – don’t know when exactly, as Letting Agent went on holiday for a week, in the middle of everything, and didn’t delegate anything to anybody in the office. So no contract has been drawn up yet. She did exactly the same thing last year, when Son was waiting to move into the Balmaclellan house. She seems to regard tenants as tiresome interruptions in her routine.
When Son moves in, I’ll glomm his computer into my wireless broadband network and he’ll pay half the monthly cost; we’ll both save money and he won’t have to keep coming round here to read his emails.
Daughter no.3 is now 7 and a half months on and still throwing up, but otherwise very healthy.
Daughter no.2 has set the date for her wedding: 25th May… 2008. She’s a Virgo, likes to plan everything well in advance!

So, basically, it’s all pretty postive news. Or at least, not bad news. Which is the best you can hope for, really.
