Special Delivery


I've just had a very busy couple of days firstly with the gorgeous JG our lovely IT Manager arriving in town from HO in Sydney bearing gifts. A brand new laptop for moi & it's beaoooootiful! He transferred all my stuff over with a minimum of fuss, loaded it with a whole lot of new apps & then took me out to lunch. Just as all our boys do with their cars, he's done some big modifications to the speed, as this little baby logs on & downloads in lightening quick time. Unlike it's predecessor which was woefully slow. I could shower, blow dry my hair & trowel on the make-up in the mornings, only to come back to find it still only halfway through Send & Receive!!

There's also been a big flurry of activity with MOTH taking the day off with me yesterday, so we could hit the road & run around looking at shower screens, mirrors, lighting etc. for the BFH. We did manage to keep ourselves 'tidy' at most places, without the staff needing to call security to break us up. May your weekend be filled with happiness & no domestic blues!

  3. Great news about the laptop, won't know yourself.

    Oh that was funny about the "keep ourselves tidy"....so know what you mean...how strongly can you put words when you are whispering and trying not to look like you want to slap the other half around a bit. House decision are starting to wear me out.

  8. I adore your humor Millie. We too have been working on our BFH, but it's going to stay there I'm afraid. Spiffing & giving it a 'spit-polish' to sell the house when it really needs a huge face-lift. So do I but, I'm not getting one of those either. You two are a great couple, just saying!! Glorious weekend to you & hug MOTH & that new laptop. xoxo

  12. Oh Mill's,
    Your IT Manager sounds like an angel from heaven !! What I wouldn't give for someone to come round with a new laptop with so many delightful attatchments. For me, a much better gift than anything that comes in those turquoise blue boxes with whie ribbon.....you must be in seventh heaven.
    ...... and a day out with MOTH must have made a nice change, albeit to look at bathroom fittings !! I hope tht an expensive lunch made it's way into the days proceedings !
    Hoping that I don't jinx the project but it sounds as if the BFH is on the last lap. I hope that there's another project to replace it. It wouldn't be The Laurel Hedge without a 'from hell' renovation project on the go !! XXXX

  13. Well done Millie, a new bathroom and a new laptop. Shame there wasn't a bit of scandal though - I reckon security in these places is highly trained in domestic matters ;-)
