New, all-peeing, all-haitching kebboard!

I am so pleased, though I find myself still reaching for the mouse-button to type p and h. It's a £13 wireless keyboard and mouse, which is good, because we wanted a wireless set for the front room anyway.

I'm back! and now I will be able to converse sensibly on messenger clients, too. I'm so pleased!

Linnea likes her buckets of numbers very much. She also likes having friends come to have cake and juice in the garden. I like my Smile bank account, so far, especially the "can obtain cash in the Post Office" part. I don't much like my postman, who has twice now left packages too large for the letterbox on the doorstep, visible from the street, when I've been actually in the house. He rings the bell and by the time I get from the front room to the front door, he's gone on up the street. So I phoned in a complaint, and they kept asking "Are you sure it's the postman? We're not the only people who deliver parcels any more. If you're not sure it was the postman, there's nothing we can do."

Grrr.

(Oh, my god, my space bar works. I am SO PLEASED.)

Each package will carry a label of who delivered it. Whenever you order anything, in the comments or instructions box many online places offer, put 'Do NOT leave on doorstep'
I once had 2 HUGE boxes of disposable nappies I'd ordered left outside. And a computer case with power supply. And a 36 inch bladed sword. They stopped leaving things after THAT complaint! Citylink here were terrible for pretending they'd been and left a card, when they'd not been near the estate, but we have a lovely tiny little lady on the round now, who laughs at me, and apologises for waking me up when I stumble to the door in my pjs, unable to see properly without my -0^0- on. (oops, witter, witter)

I've found ParcelForce to be the worst for leaving things, whether I'm in or out. £200 GPS was the one I was most pissed off about. Current posties are great though, and the CityLink guy and I are almost on first name terms.

Hi, a comment out of the blue to say I've just friended you - hope you don't mind. I'm very erratic about posting in my own lj but I came across you in one of the breastfeeding communities and keep visiting your lj because I like it.

Also, I'm in Oxford (a transplanted American).

I love your daughters' names (and yours).
