I've noticed since I've been back on the 'puter the last couple of days that things are slipping already. It's far more tempting to surf than scrub !

Be honest now - how much time do you all spend online each day ?

if im really honest,i leave the comp on and pop in and out as im doing the housework and getting dinner ,kids etc

I also find it "more tempting to surf than scrub" - that's a good quote!
Like lady lil I pop in and out while doing the housework. Some days I spend more time on the computer than others...it depends what else I'm doing. Definitely spend more time on it during the week than I do at weekends, as I go out more at the weekend.

I'd certainly far rather surf than scrub, it helps take my mind off various woes and worries!

i feel guilty if i dont scrub before i surf!!!

I am glad you said that Biddy..cos I agree with you and would rather scrub then surf...are we long lost family cos we are so alike in things

I think it doesn't help cos we don't have broadband YET ! I'm campaigning at the moment but as Mr SB doesn't use the computer it doesn't count as a priority.

It just seems to take forever to first get connection and then for all the things to do as they should when you click on them.

Perhaps I'm just impatient

You're not impatient SB - when we had dial-up internet access it used to take ages to load things up (and was very frustrating). Now that we've got broadband I get through things really quickly...I still spend too much time on the computer, but nowhere near as long I would if we still had dial-up!
Broadband is so fast, we could never go back to dial-up now - you should definitely persuade Mr SB to make it a priority soon!

with broadband i find we can do so much more, you can ahve the phone on at the same time as well and it's so much quicker to download stuff too. my mother is still on dial up!! i told her she could stay online for as long as she wished with broadband but she says she won't change!!

So true, SB - if it something he wants, it gets done double quick. Otherwise it just isn't urgent!!!

).Can't see it happening this side of Christmas as finances won't allow.

My Mum (and Nan!!) were kept pretting busy around March/April/May during their twenties as most of our birthdays are around Christmas. Come to think of it I was kept busy myself as my daughter will be 5 just a couple of days before Christmas.

I'll be hitting the big 4-0 myself in around 3-4 weeks (sshhh, don't tell anyone ) If I ignore it, perhaps it'll go away.

It's not so bad - I'm over 40 - infact now I'm halfway towards my half century and that seems really awful! In Holland they have a big celebration when someone is 50 - they often stick photocopies of posters showing the person when they were younger onto telegraph poles etc. And they make a life-size model of an old man or woman and put it outside their house. It's called seeing Abraham or Sarah (my bible knowledge isn't too hot, but this must have been their age).

Glad I don't live in Holland !!!

Woodja believe it. Mr SB wanted me to download something from a football site and it took so long we gave up. He told me to look into getting Broadband this week ..... Definately sorting it out this week otherwise he'll change his mind

Lol, typical bloke that! Get it done asap, sb, before he changes his mind!
