My computer has blown up.
Again.
What am I to do? The computer fixer can't come until Monday. That's a whole weekend.
A whole weekend!
Woe is me.
Still, we've got snow. Enought for a proper snowball fight with the kids this morning, and enough for Smudgelet to make his first ever snow angel. Hard to resist the temptation to make a mummy-sized one too. Charlie cat got the last laugh, though, leaping onto the garage roof to create an avalanche just as I went past. I'd swear he did it on purpose!
Bad news is that I have slipped up. I forgot to take the boys for their check-up at the dentist and apparently they have taken them off their list. This would not be disasterous except that there are no NHS dentists on the Island to be found for love nor money. We would have to register with one in Portsmouth or else bite the bullet, so to speak, and pay to go private. I decided I might as well devote the money to suffering in luxury and join the local private dentist. Mmmmm. Not looking forward to THAT.
This is costing me money. Thank heavens for the school laptop being here for when I get itchy fingers, but it's maddening to pay extra for the dial-up connection when I am paying for broadband on my dead computer. How on earth could it have burnt out so soon? (*innocent whistling and nonchalent gazing round the room*) . Perhaps I'd better turn off and go and collect Smudgelet from football before this one blows up too.
