Yippee I've got something to blog!!!!!!!!

So as the economic climate is so dire for everyone at the moment us Lavender-Guinto's are trying to save money just like the rest of the World!!!

I've been putting this of for at least 4 years and the reason I have has been proven.

Mum and I decided that we should change phone providers for our land line and Internet but I knew that it would cause problems, I was so right. The phone went very smoothly but as I foresaw the Internet is a disaster. I have my Internet on a wireless connection and to save a little more money and not spend £30 on another router I decided that I would configure the one I have to the new settings. It ain't working, just as I knew it would!!!!!!! So at this precise moment in time we have a wire trailing down the stairs to the phone connection. OMG what a pain the the you know what!!!!!!!!! I've given in in the end and ordered the wireless router I haven't got the time and the patience to mess around with it any longer.

On a funnier side the shop I work in is falling apart literally. We have known for over a year now that the roof is leaking every time it rains and our AM told us last year that it literally had to come in before it could be repaired. Well on Wednesday night it happened it fell in on one of the punters heads, lucky it was only the polystyrene panel so didn't hurt him but now we have a whole and a leak so everyone is getting wet. I even went into the shop with a umbrella at one stage to stop them getting wet. (lol) It looks like Corals are going to have to spend a little more than they want to, it seems the whole roof needs replacing! Serves them right for being so tight about it eh!

So yesterday was my last day at work for a week, I know, I know I've just had 10 weeks off sick but if I don't take my holiday they won't pay me for it so I have too. I must say I had a lovely day, Andrew one of my customers, I blogged about him a while ago, well he bought me the most beautiful bouquet of flowers, so did the girls, Liam and Karl that I work with and also a USB thingy for my new laptop that Manny is buying me for my Birthday tomorrow. I felt quite special and then to make my day even better, my new shoes arrived, ANOTHER pair of Birkenstocks, aren't they just so cute, I LOVE THEM!!!! I can't tell you how many pairs I have now, perhaps I should get them all out and take a picture and blog them. Between us Bee and I are keeping QVC and Birkenstock in business I am sure of it!!! (lol)

Well OK this wasn't the most exciting blog but at least it's something. Manny is off with me as well this week so perhaps we will do something together. We are all going to the Zoo on Thursday, the kids have a day off school, so hopefully we can take a picnic.

Catch you all soon, can't tell you how much I'm missing T and California!
