a kettle plug lead.......

Tylers ps2 stopped working other week, checked the fuse and all the connections (did suspect the cat for a while) and they all seemed fine. poor little fella was distraught! he loves his playstation and there was no way i could afford a new one.

To add insult to injury we unpacked the last box today and found all his old games.

I decided to have one last go at it before it went to playstation heaven and noticed that its just a kettle plug lead, i have loads of those knocking about, plugged it in and hey presto!! one working playstation and one very happy little boy! I am now the bestest mummy in the whole wide world apparently

Wish i'd tried that at the...

Ma has itchy feet again and it can't be cured with athlete's foot cream!

I was speaking to Ma yesterday and she said that she wished we were going somewhere.
'Where, exactly?' I asked her.

'Oh anywhere , where they make your bed*, give you breakfast....somewhere where the sun sparkles on the water'

'Right' I said 'I'll book you for a week in the Altham Rest Home'

oh no, that wasn't quite what she meant.
I told her that we had only just got back from one jaunt...but it didn't make any difference...she said she wanted to go again...and then as a rider, she said
'You know, my time may be running out.....all the sand is at the bottom'
Cryptic or what?

I have never been much good at the arcade games, but I do like the games that require you to use your brain....like BOOKWORM....ADD LIKE MAD....and I thought I would be alright at Trivial Blitz.
I have played this game hundreds of times and thought that at a score over five thousand, I wasn't doing too badly(well for someone who knows practically nothing about films, Pop music and the like).
(who the Hell is WEEZER? And Which Films were directed by Martin Scorsese?....damned if I know....and who on earth knows the NBA teams?)
Then Grego goes and ups the ante to over ten thousand.....I have little or no chance at beating a score like that.(Grego, you must be one clever lady...I salute you girl)
I even had to look up...

Yes, I know I said 'to be continued'.....but sometimes life just gets in the way!

It was still grey and overcast when we arrived at Alfriston, but it was warm too...humid. I just knew that pushing the chair was going to have me wet through with my efforts.
The main street into the village only had a pavement on one side. Tony, our coach driver had told us to make sure to use the pavement as cars came whizzing through the village at a rate of knots......and that because of the winding lanes there was little chance of stopping if you were not on the pavement.

The pavement was not a bit wheelchair friendly...it was narrow and elevated from the road by about 18 inches to 2 foot in some places......if Ma went over...
