I have been a bad blogger of late, I have just had so many other things to do I have barely had anytime at the PC.

• We have been looking for new "house" things such as guest towels (the fancy ones that are for show only).

• Shower curtains ( have yet to find one we both like- there are some horrible ones around this year) We were thinking about a loose lighthouse theme in the bathroom but can we find anything "lighthousey" No!

• Then we had to buy winter coats, gloves and hats. Wp thinks I want to run away to war because of all the coats I ended up buying a men's green military style jacket. The womens coats are either too fussy or don't cover your bum, and I am not fond of a cold bum. I nearly bought a green newsboy cap to match but it was maybe a little over the top so I plumped for a purple chenieile hat with the cool gloves that are fingerless but have the little mitten bits that flip over the top of your hands.

• Wp has yet to find a coat and gloves, he is so fussy we spent an hour and a half in the shoe store just getting him two pairs of shoes! All the ones he liked the most didnt have his size in stock, or they didnt feel right on his feet. And men think women are bad in stores!

• We bought one of them materess toppers for the top of the bed, its great really warm and soft.

• We bought a lot of other stuff as well, too much to list but things like a new (small) trash can, a mop, all the boring stuff like that,

• Then of course we were without power for 24 hours, thank god we have a gas fire ! We ended up with a house full with his sister in law, her mom and sister and his niece and nephew. Its no fun trying to cook for so many people by candlelight I can tell you.The kids of course were bored after 5 minutes with no TV.
  

• Wp had to go into work on friday, there were no if's or buts about it, his department is classed as a critical area. he got there ok with the bonus of the company paying for pizza for all who worked and double time and a half. yay!


• The PC's hard drive died on Saturday so he swapped it out for another one we had lying around. of course its a major pain because everything has to be re-installed. I needed photoshop at once because I am working on a blog , this poor guy has been waiting on me to finish his and I have had power outs and PC trouble and then couldnt really work over the weekend. Hopefully I will get it done today. Not only do I have to re-install photoshop but I have that many extra brushes and fonts I have to install as well. Not to mention a zillion bookmarks for the web. I cant find anything, I backed up most of it on the external hard drive but now have to move everything back again in some sort of legible order! Grr, its gonna take days to get back on track. nothing more boring then installing software and sorting out files.

I think thats about it for my weekend, I will try my hardest this week to catch up in blog land this week. Fingers crossed !
Oh one more thing I have to own upto, I fell on my bum in the parking lot with armfuls of shopping bags. I nearly made it to the steps then Wham! Ouch. Thank god it was dark I dont think anyone saw me......
Bloody Ice!

One more thing.
