All is well!

YAY! I am doing a happy dance! My computer is working again and our internet is fantastic!
Daft isn't it, how reliant we become on all this technology lark! There seems to be some problem with the Windows installation on my old hard drive, luckily i had a SATA drive that i hadn't installed so that's now in and being used as my main hard drive - the old IDE hard drive is now my backup drive :o)
As well as fixing my pc, Bloke has now changed our ISP and we have ditched AOL and our broadband is now being provided by O2 and it's marvelous! We've got the standard 8mg package but our download speeds are reaching up to 18mg!! It's like webpages open before the link is even clicked! ::lol::


Annnnnnnnnyway! In yarny news... both my secret projects have reached their new homes and they were both very well received - it's always a relief to me when i make somebody a present and they like it! I don't want lying at my feet gratitude, just knowing that it's liked is enough for me thankyouverymuch :oD

This morning the Lavender Blankie was cast off, just a couple of ends to sew in now and it's ready to be delivered to Trout for her 20th birthday. Where's the time gone! I remember looking after her when she was born, she was so tiny, so cute... and then she grew up! We've been through some tough times, had some very harsh words with each other but all is now well and she's really getting her life together - as far as i know anyway! I must stop being so paranoid and believe what people tell me!! So, next week, she's 20 and at the end of the month my entire family (i only have Mum's family, never known my Dad's) will be meeting up for our family day and both my neices will be meeting family they've never met before! It'll be weird, especially as i haven't seen my other neice since she was two years old and she's now 18!! I am SO looking forward to it though - a HAPPY ocassion for us, for once!
So, what's left? One baby hat has been finished so one to do, and i need to find a cute bootee/shoe pattern for both sets. I also need to get my arse in gear with the Babmoo blankie and get it finished. Now that the other things are done i know i will be able to get on with it all and i still have at least two weeks until Lisa drops her sprogs ;o)
Luv you Lise *hugs*
