What is it with gadgets? I've been off line for over a week, a man had to take away our computer and take everything off, restore it to factory settings, put it all back together and charge us £125! It seems it was virused beyond belief, even though we have anti virus protection and firewalls and all that stuff.

So now we have it back with AVG and Firewalls and all that stuff and I'm assured that it won't happen again..... hmmm!

Adding to the gadget thingy, we have had a connection between the new tv in the kitchen and the one in the bedroom which has sky multi rooms, only its never worked properly and I have complained to sky on more than one occasion and they have replaced the box - twice and told me to buy a new skart lead (?) and they have just replaced the box again. Fine, well not really, then it messed up the remote eye and that had to be redone, fine, well now the sky is not working any better than it did originally. I keep telling them its not the box, it must be the cable, they should pay me to solve their problems.........

Grace went to clinic on Tuesday of last week. She was a little under the weather with a cold, but apart from a bit of a temperature and horrendous conjunctivitis, she has managed to battle through it. Her sats were 92, and her lung function has gone from 45% to 78%. I can't tell you the relief that we saw on the Dr's face. He is happy that she has stablised at her last two visits and hopes that it will continue. Funny turns still happen from time to time and we are supposed to be checking her BM levels, but so far i've messed it up every time.....back to gadgets again, but the one time I was ready..... Grace ate a pear whilst I was doing the prep grrrr!

We haven't been out much this week, although we did go horse racing yesterday to Warwick, we still don't have a disabled badge which meant we had to wheel the wheelchair across the race track (car park and entrance are on opposite sides) very humorous, Marks brother was shouting "3-1 the field!" and trying to take bets on Grace.

Obviously conjunctivitis being as infectious as it is, she hasn't been to school all week and yesterday was her first day out, and her eyes were much better. This morning they were back to gunky city again so hopefully I can get it cleared up over the weekend in time for school.

She is having a teddy bears picnic for her birthday. This entails taking 6 children to Build-a-bear workshop, choosing and stuffing and dressing bears, and returning home to sit on a blanket in the kitchen and having a picnic with them, whilst Mummies have a glass of sparkly and some nibbles! We found the prospect of splitting them up into two cars a bit daunting as the B.B workshop is a half an hour drive away.......................... so we hired a limo and we get free fizzy pop!

I must be crazy, or lovely, one of the two?
