Good Afternoon Mollie.Smile

Still a few probs getting on here.

I've been busy this morning, but thats out of the way.

Will be visiting Mum tonight, see how sge's doing, hope she's been able to take some of the tablets she needs.

It's like a Summer day here, apart from the sun being so low, not a cloud in the Sky, no wind, pretty calm and cool out of the Sun.
The Dial-up will be slow Mollie, each page has to download so many files, they only allow for broadband these days I assume.

It's a bonus not having that hill to climb all the time, you can get a Spin Dryer now, the Condensor type so it doesn't need an external pipe for the hot air exhaust.

They seem to work well, saves hanging the stuff on the line anyway, then you just Air it.

Don't forget BB USA starts this Thursday on E4 think it's at 9pm.

Taken my Freelander in to have the rear parking sensors fitted, hopefully anyway.

Hope everything is going well Mollie.

I seem to having some problems with Shockwave Flash, Firefox keeps bombing out, i'm on IE at the Mo, but I can't find it in the Add/Remove programs so I can't get it out.
So I keep losing all the Tabs I am on, getting annoying.

Good afternoon all Wave
Hope you are all well.

Hicky...have you got the car sensors sorted?

Didn't realise BBUSA is due to start again. Glad it is back on E4 again, I found it a pain watching on pc last year. Am looking forward to it. Last summer, it was much better than our last BB. Wonder why it is showing now instead of in the summer, as it normally is?

Wave Emptybox... hope you are still enjoying lovely weather. We are here again today.

Wave Oceania...hope the school visit went well.

Good Afternoon Mollie.Wave

All is well Mollie, Mum is eating/Having food minced, but at least she is getting it down, think the staff are feeding her.
And she seems to be taking her tablets.

Waiting for the Garage to ring, I didn't take it in till 9am, hope it's ok.

Think BB USA starts tonight 9 till 10 & 10 till 11pm, hope so anyway.Smile

It's been brought forward because of the strike in the States.

Hope you are well Oceania.Smile

Hlaf term here next week - so have booked 3 days off work - so a nice short week for me next week - the kind I like - means Monday is like a Thursday really !!

Hi Oceania..Wave

Hope he does get the place he's after, be another head ache out of the way.

There's 2 shows on tonight don't forget from 9 and then from 10, 2 hrs in all.
Then the next one is next Tuesday, then Thursday etc.

Got my reversing sensors fitted anyway, beep, beep, then beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep, stop quick.Big Grin

Enjoy your time off next week, hope the weather is kind to you.

gone very cold here at the Mo.

But I have a Rogan Josh for tea so that's me sorted.

My Lad is supervising on the new 'Gateway to Brisbane' bridge in Oz, he's involved in checking the footings are done correctly etc on one of the massive piers.
And he's loving it at the Mo.

so glad to hear your mom got those tablets and some food down her. Hope it helps perk her up a little.

Wave Oceania..
pleased to hear your lad got the school place he wanted. Smile
No way have we unpacked yet... Big Grin only just finished removing all the kids junk from my mom's garage, we had put it there when we declutted to sell our house.

Am hoping BBUS is as good as the others I have seen. The last time it was on E4 was 2003 I believe. Incase you haven't seen BBUS before, their tasks are usually expensive and elaborate compared to the cheapskate ones we had here last summer, and the HM's do seem to be a lot more competitive than ours in tasks. Glad you are here Hicky to remind us when it is on. Smile I am so forgetfull lately.

Have you seen any of the BBUS before ?

Hi Mollie.Wave

I posted a link to show all the HM's and the US house, but it looks like it has disappeared with the post.

Mum just wanted to sleep last night, had a little convo with her, just have to see how she goes, my brother goes down to see her at the weekends as well, but she's less aware of what is going on, the mind is playing tricks, and the woman in the room with her thought i was her husband who has passed away and kept asking me is her Son asleep, and I don't think he is alive either.
It's sad when the mind plays tricks on you, but it might be for the good.
My Mum asked my O/H who she was married to the other day.

I'll be watching BB USA tonight, at least it's on 2 nights a week now as well, and if you pay you can get the 24/7 feed on the Puter.

I watched a BB USA one year, can't remember which one it was.

Hicky.
To get rid of Flash nowadays you have to run the Flash Uninstall utility.
You can find it here

or google "uninstall flash". It's the first link.

Hi Emptybox and all Smile

Watched the first BB USA show - and so far am liking little Jen and I like Jacob (even though he was naughty and cheated on Sharon) - perhaps they will be friends if they stay in. I do like a naughty boy as we all know Big Grin

Watching American Idol as well so will probably watch the second half tomorrow.

I have watched one BB USA once before Mollie - must have been 2003 when it was on .... I love their Head of House challenges gives them all something to fight for - something we could learn from. I also like the way they openly choose people - and I like the stairs in the house Smile

Right folks am off to bed - will let you know if I change my mind about anyone after the 2nd show - well I might need new favourites if Sharon and Jacob are booted - hope Jen's boyfriend Ryan is safe too.

Good night all xx

Hi Emptybox and Oceania.Smile

I ran the Flash uninstall Emptybox, might have to install it later, think some web pages need it, such as Chanelle's, but MS said it was causing the problem and the browsers kept closing on their own.

Saw the first program of BB, recorded the second.
Looks like it will be an interesting show, well it's on for 3 months, love the house.Big Grin

Nighty Night, see you tomorrow all.

Hi Mollie, did you watch BB USA?

American Idol is on on a Friday isn't it?
The new episode I mean.

Good Evening Everyone.Smile

Just watched the BB USA 2nd half from last night.

It looks like an interesting show, Wow, fireworks all ready.Big Grin

I thought I had posted on here during today, maybe not, been posting all over, but I can only see a post from this morning, so that's strange.

Hope things are OK mollie, hang in there.
And no point in unpacking stuff you don't need, you'll only have to repack it all again.Big Grin

Hallo Hicky, Oceania and Emptybox..... Hug

at last we have the broadband. Smile
OH is busy sorting out cables for different laptop etc now.

I too eally enjoyed both BBUSA episodes again. Smile

Shame our UK HM's are not as competitive in the tasks, but I guess there is not much incentive when they only play for luxury food, that they know they will still get in the form of numerous parties even if they fail tasks.

Yes Oceania, I didn't wnat that couple to leave either, it would of been interesting to see hnow things progressed with them. But I am glad the couple who don't like each other didn't leave either. Do you think they will eventually come round to like each other ?

I also like the HOH concept too. The only thing I think is not that good is the evictions because they are so quiet and uneventfull without a crowd, and the way they just come through an ordinary door when they leave.

Aaaawww bless your poor mom.
At least it is nice for you to know that the staff there are good to her.

What a shame you lost your post. I see we now have a C4 BBUSA forum, think I'll have to pay to visit. Smile

Lie in morning tommorrow for you?

I should be unpacking, but as you say, hardly wourth doing as we will not be here that long. Big Grin Luckily we really like the house, and although we did like the sheep and cows , it is so much more convenient to be closer to town now, with 25 mins chopped off OH's journey to work. Smile

Hi Mollie.Wave

Glad you have Broadband back anyway.

That was a tough Task for them, very.
But they did well.

I don't think they have to do anything for the food.
Think that bloke was an idiot saying he was a snake, serves him right, didn't like him after that.

And don't know what to make of the couple that don't like each other, if they don't change soon they will be out next.

The HOH concept is good, I saw that another year, and at the end of the week all the couples will have to go in and plead to be kept in.Big Grin

I don't think it would be the same over there if they did have an eviction, you would have millions blocking the city and non would Boo, they aren't like that.

A Lie in tomorrow for me, I've got my reversing sensors fitted, but don't think they are correct, will do a few checks tomorrow, think one or more is picking the road up, I get beeps when I shouldn't, so I'll do some tests, they are ultrasonic sensors so they have to be the correct way and at the correct angle.
But at least they still tell me when to stop.Big Grin
But I should get 4 different beeps and 'm only getting 2.

I just work Mon, Wed, Fri now, so I get 2 days off plus the weekend, it lets me get a few jobs done.
Problem is, every day I go in, I think it's a new week and it's Monday, very confusing.Big Grin
My Lad is working on the Footing for one of the Piers on the new 'Gateway to Brisbane' Bridge, and he's supervising what they do, he loves it.
