    Aren't PC's dead good when they work?

    I'm really beginning to think that this PC is coming to the end of it's days. It really went to bits a few months ago and I had it overhauled for £80, really I should have taken it back because there was very little difference when I got it home. So I put up with it's bad behaviour for a while longer, having to reboot it in safe mode every time it crashed until I found Tony, who came to the house, took it to bits and spent 2 hours messing on until it worked like new. Now it's up to it's tricks again. I do all my sweeps and scans every day but it is crashing again. My biggest fear is losing all the photo's, so I have spent the past 3 days making CD roms to ensure nothing gets lost.
     
    Well it's been a mad dash around for nice things for 'the bairn' to take away on holiday. She finishes her job as a civil servant today, then next Wednesday she and Joe fly off to Tokyo for a week then on to Hong Kong for another week. Needless to say she had nothing to wear! When she returns she starts her new job as a Learning mentor (think that's the title) at a local Comprehensive school with the intention of getting a years experience under her belt to go on to do her PGCE. She swore she would never be a teacher, and I think she was absolutly right no to go straight into it after she finished her masters degree, only because she was 'not sure' and teaching now is such a stressful job, you really do HAVE to be SURE to do it well, and she now seems dead keen. Anyway I wish them a lovely holiday, she deserves it, she has had a tough few years which she has come through well.

    Yep: The Great Wall of China was an amazing piece of documentary which brought it all alive!
     
    Never read any of Bryce Courtney's work, but then I'm a big Science Fiction fan!!! :o)
     
    I know what you mean about not being able to think too much about what we eat!
     
    My neighbours on Tonge Roughs bought rabbits and a Goose which was intended for the table... and died of old age!!! :o)
     
    Yeah the weather has been erratic today - I got a bit damp myself!!! :o)
     
    Love and hugs!

    Hi hun!!! :o)
     
    Yep: All true!!!!
     
    It is bad enough thinking they're out to get you only for them to REALLY be out to get you!!! :oS
     
    I'm glad Christine is finally moving again, because the thought of that sweet kid suffering a meltdown in a lousy job was not making me a happy bunny!
     
    Tokyo is ok, apart from the Earthquakes and the ants nest environment, but that's nothing in relation to Hong Kong!!!
     
    I just hope they bring her home in one piece... :o)
     
    As for Mentoring: I'd do it, but the paranoid assumption that every man must be a closet paedphile for even wanting to help kids has kind of put me off...
     
    Give her my love and tell her I expect to see PHOTO's!!!!!!!!!! :o)
     
    Love and hugs!
