I’ve had loads of problems internet wise with this laptop today. FireFox has been refusing to load at all and Internet Explorer is just unusable. I mean how the hell do people still use that thing? Its terrible! Its finally behaving itself but I have to say thanks to Sarah for uploading Wordpress to my new project for me this morning. My FTP client just refused to work and after sitting here for ten minutes uploading file by file through my file manager, I gave up and asked her. I’m hoping I get the new place up and running properly in the next couple of days but its hard work with this piece of crap. I shouldn’t complain considering the fact that I am able to come online. Well, sometimes.
I’m off to watch Lost in a minute. We’re up to about episode 14 of season three so it won’t be long before we are all caught up. Obviously we won’t be able to actually watch season four until it comes out on DVD as we’ve missed at least ten episodes of it already. But once we’ve finished Lost, Prison Break season three is out on DVD on Monday. We missed quite a few and our favourite website for watching Prison Break suddenly died so we just stopped watching it. I couldn’t even tell you where we are up to. Anyone know whats going on with 24? The new season was apparently supposed to start last January and I haven’t even heard anything of it. I’m guessing its to do with the writers strike but we’re almost into June and its still not being shown. This season looked so good too. I’ve been really looking forward to it.
I saw a friend from school who I haven’t seen for ages the other day. When we were at school together, she had a lot of problems with acne. She was always trying out loads of different acne treatment but nothing seemed to work. Anyway, when I saw her, her skin has cleared up loads. I’m really happy for her. I’m the horrible friend who has beautifully clear skin so I never had the problems she did. It was nice to see her again too :).

To throw this laptop out of the window. I’m currently trying to work on a new project and FireFTP isn’t working and nothing else is working and I’m just fed up. Bry text Alex earlier today and told him that its going to be £50 for a new hard drive. I’m not going to get the new computer until the new year since I’ve having to pay for a new hard drive. Plus, my current hard drive in the computer is 80GB and its going up to 160GB which will make me happy. I just want it back because I seriously can’t handle this laptop anymore.
We had a nice long walk today, me, Alex, Meghan and Daxter. We left the house at 2PM to get Emelye from school and didn’t get home until 4.15PM. Daxter was shattered and he’s been asleep for the past three hours. After we picked Emelye up, we went to the park for around 20 minutes and looked at the new ducklings at the pond. Meghan loved them and if we didn’t keep hold of her, she would have walked straight into the pond! The ducks at our pond haven’t had ducklings yet. I’m hoping they do soon as I was to photograph their growth about once or twice a week. I meant to do it last year but I kept forgetting my camera every time I took Daxter out for a walk.
Well, I’m going to watch the rest of Grey’s Anatomy and get in bed. I’m falling asleep here.

I had a nice time at my mums today. I actually liked the walk there and back too. It was good for Dax having such a long walk. He usual walks are around twenty minutes long and most of that time is spent him sniffing everything and not getting anywhere. Today though we were walking constantly for thirty minutes each way and I think he really enjoyed it. I should try and take him out that much every day but he is hard work which is why I don’t do it as often. I think we might take him up to get Emelye from school tomorrow. Thats quite a long walk. I’ll have to make sure I take some water with us though because its still quite warm.
I’ve almost finished my book. I have thirty pages left and I just want to get it finished now. I’m looking forward to reading the end. I’ve only come on here for a bit of a break and check for opps on my paid blogging. I’m really pleased with the amount of money I’ve made up to now. I’ll definitely have the money for my Leeds ticket before the end of August at this rate. I promise I’ll slow down a bit once I’ve got the money I need for that :).
I have been looking into those types of weight loss pills that are herbal and help you lose weight naturally. I need to do something about those last few pounds at some point and a little help is always good.

Alex’s mate Bry came round for the computer last night and he had a look at it before I unplugged it all. Its the hard drive thats gone. Which means I’m going to have to buy a new hard drive. Bry said he might have a spare hard drive in the house but its not very big. To be honest, I don’t care especially since I’m getting a new one in three months. I don’t want to spend loads on fixing this one when I’m getting a new one. As long as it works, I’m not too fussed. He took it last night anyway so hopefully he gets it back to me by next week.
I’m walking up to my mums later on today with Meghan and Daxter. I don’t really want to go out anywhere, other than to do any shopping (which I don’t have money to do) but I’m trying to make myself go out. Meghan’s getting fed up in the house and I’m just getting stuck in a rut which isn’t doing me any good. I’m starting to regret not taking that job because I’m so fed up in the house all day. If it wasn’t for the lack of money, I would have taken it but it wasn’t worth it. I might start looking for another job. Something that pays a decent wage. Even if its full time, the most Meghan will be at nursery is three days a week. I’ll think about it. I’m just getting bored because I don’t go out and I’ve not got any money to do anything either.

Today has been rather boring considering the eventful morning we had with Meghan, haha. We pretty much didn’t do anything. Just split the time between being in the garden and being inside. I’ve tried to stay away from the internet and I’ve been reading more instead. The Girls is quite good and I only have around 100 pages left so I’m hoping to get it finished by Friday. Did I tell you that I cried on the first chapter? Yes, I do cry at books now thanks to all those mummy hormones that we’re released during pregnancy that never went away but on the first chapter? Thats ridiculous. It was extremely sad though (something to do with babies dying - thats a good one to set me off isn’t it?) so I’ll let myself off this time. I’ve not cried again since so I’m doing okay.
The book is about two conjoined twins who are writing their autobiography - well Rose is and she’s urging Ruby to write some of it too. Rose is really interested in reading and writing and its really got me thinking its about time I started on my book. The only problem with it, is that I cannot find a subject. I have too many half arsed different ideas running round my head and nothing solid enough to start on. I’ll do it one day. I think I was born to write a book. Even just one.
I want to be a writer but earlier I had to look up the word franchise. How stupid am I? I need to buy a dictionary.

Kelley!
Sorry I didn’t post about it last night when I said I would. I all of a sudden got tired at around 8.30PM and just came offline totally forgetting to post about it. But anyway! Congratulations to Kelley! I hope she likes the book when she receives it. The next book contest will be next month so keep an eye out :).
In other news, Meghan’s been running round the house like a crazy woman all morning. She woke up at about 7.30AM but I managed to get her to let me stay in bed for another fifteen minutes. Since we got downstairs, she’s not stopped running around (and falling over) and being hyper. She got hold of my hand and kept banging it on the cooker which she thought was hilarious. I didn’t see the fun in it really but it kept her happy for five minutes until I took my hand back to make a cup of tea. Looks like we’re going to have a fun day today!
She’s recently starting learning a lot when it comes to her language. She picks up words from songs by just singing it twice and you can stop at parts and she will ’sing’ them. She copies things from the TV - like on Dora where they say “Say Backpack” she’ll repeat it and she tries her best at all the Spanish words too. She knows some words in the alphabet - I think she can say up to E but she knows where S and V are and we’re still only up to 10 in the counting. We’re getting there :).
I’ve been thinking about the fact that we really need to get insurance for a lot of things. We still don’t have any contents insurance for the house (we don’t need buildings insurance as we rent) and the cat and the dog both really should be insured. I was then thinking about looking into cheap term life insurance but to be honest, I think I’m a bit young to be thinking about life insurance. Maybe Alex could look into it as he’s six years older than me (two years off being 30!) but I think I’ll be waiting a while before I start thinking about that.

Just to let you know, my book contest is now closed. I have already picked the winner but I’m not going to announce it until around 9PM tonight after I’ve emailed the winner. I didn’t get as much response as I would have liked but I think I may do another one and see how it goes. If I get more entrants then I’ll definitely carry on so its up to you! I only had eight entries this time and I would like double that next time please :). I’ll be back tonight to let you know who’s won!
