Frustrating Day

Posted by Kim in General at 10:05 pm | Permanent Link

I spent five hours on Tuesday reproducing spreadsheets for Lloyds with information they require for their claims analysis. I walked into work this morning to an e-mail informing me they’d changed their minds, could I reverse everything I’d done and now produce revised spreadsheets….of course…no problem….it’s what I live for…not!! So after pulling my hair […]

Good Read

Posted by Kim in General at 9:36 pm | Permanent Link

Just finished reading The Last Precinct by Patricia Cornwell, the last book in the Dr Kay Scarpetta series. The books are very well written murder mystery stories from the point of view of the chief medical examiner. A must for anyone interested in forensic science style investigative stories. I thought I’d missed a few along […]

Christmas Shopping

We attempted to do some of our Christmas shopping via the internet today. We managed to find a few things…all on different sites of course. For the time spent it wasn’t a very successful venture, but it could have been worse, we could have spent the same amount of time walking round the shops at […]

This looks like a good idea, it’s probably the only way I’ll get on the computer from now on…. Now that Megan has her own blog I can’t get anywhere near it….

Bottom 2003

Posted by Kim in Fun at 2:35 pm | Permanent Link

Steve and me went to see the fifth Bottom concert last night, ‘Weapons Grade Y-Fronts Tour…not normally my sense of humour I’m more of a Billy Connolly, Lee Evans fan… but have to admit it was very funny. Their performance was excellent as per usual. There are two guys who are never going to grow […]

Bonfire Party

We had a combined firework/birthday party last night which went with a bang! (sorry) Megan hasn’t been keen on fireworks, she hasn’t even come out of the house up to now, but she really enjoyed it this year. She held a sparkler for the first time, although as per usual she waited until we’d used […]

Final Episode???

Posted by Kim in General at 10:26 pm | Permanent Link

Went to see this today, couldn’t wait til the weekend. I thought it was better than the second film. The special effects were if possible even better than in the previous films. The ending was excellent, and everything is now perfectly clear (if I understood it correctly!!) I hear there is talk of a fourth […]
