Your absolutely sure no-one wants this cold?

Well fellow J-people!!  Much rejoicing to be had in jen's life.  Well alright just a little rejoicing!!  AOL is back to the land of the living and I can see my Gold Welcome page.  How did you do it?  I hear you cry!!  (well all right I can't hear you cry that I just wanted to amuse myself!!)

The sorry tale is that I decided to go for a full uninstall - modem and all, and when I came to reinstall it, the cd didn't wanna know the modem.  So Sunday I didn't log onto the internet at all.  I knew at that point I had to reload the system.  Tried to rescue as much as possible.  Good job I printed most of my stuff out, and woohoo I managed to save those little video things I was telling you about in my last entry!!  I'm so chuffed about that!!  Lost most of my music though - still never mind!!  Worse thing about having to reload Windows is I'm back to using windows '98!!  Yep I can't believe it either.  I should see if I can get a more up to date operating system, just not sure I can afford it!!

Anyhoo........what else is going on in my life?  Still got this dreadful cold.  Today has been the worst - felt sick all day but suffered it and didn't come home!!  Now Pauline's gone off on her hols I should go in unless dying.  Why do I do that??  I'm not gonna get any thanks for it!!  Glutton for punishment springs to mind lol............Printed off the application form yesterday - I must get round to completeing it!!  My time has been taken up with the computer at the mo!!  Still there's a bank holiday coming up - Yay time off work!!

Saturday mum and megan came to see me!!  Megan is talking to me again (can't remember if I told you that she disowned me the last time I saw her!)  Got her laughing a couple of times.  Mum's ok, apparently she's planning to go and see Cliff Richard in concert in London.  Hope she does go, she'll be able to see why I do it so often ;-)  Well ok, she won't have the whole queue experience but still.........

My review of the gigs has been put on a temporary hiatus!!  Mainly because my system restore has lost Word and Excel.  I did print out what I'd written but there's a lot of typing - so I'll share it with you when I can be bothered ;-) 

I managed to get to the gym yesterday.  Not sure if I wanna go tomorrow, see how I feel I guess!! 

I finished reading the josephine cox book 'bad boy jack'!!  If you want light reading I definitely reccommend it!!  I actually enjoyed it :-)  I've now started another light reading novel and it's not grabbed my attention.  I shall perservere for now!!

Well don't know what else to tell you!!  Thanks to Stuart for offering to help with my internet problems.

Take care everyone xx

Oooooooo forgot to mention the ducks!!  One couple have ducklings and they are so sweet.  I've only seen them in the mornings on the way to work and they are sooo small they would fit into the palm of your hand!!  I should try and get a piccie!!  My swan couple have laid eggs and mum's keeping them nice and toastie everyday just waiting for them to hatch now :-)

There seems to be so much trouble with computers these days.  I had a major crash and had to start over after losing all my pictures on journal last week. Then today Sylvia lost all her pictures.  Computers are great when they are working right.

Hope you get over your cold soon. xxxxx

This bloomin cold of yours sure is hanging around - must like you too much! Well done with all the computer reloading and stuff. I have WindowsXP, and never seem to get any of those problems - better keep quiet, or it'll all start now! Hope your mum enjoys her Cliff Richard thing. Why doesn't he ever get old, lol!

I had my cold the same time as you and I`m all better now....apart from a bit of congestion.....poor you, I do hope it goes soon.  I do hate it when that computer thing happens.  It`s such a lot of messing around, but I`m glad you`re back and look forward to some of your great entries :-)
