Dial up is SOOOO slow!

After waiting the two weeks for my broadband to arrive, I rang to see where it was....there had been a fault and it would be with me in 5 days....5 days later and I call again....after waiting on hold for 5 minutes, I am told there was a fault, and it will be 21 days!!!! Why does this happen to me? So I tell them to cancel the whole thing and I will go somewhere else...how hard can it be to get broadband? 10-14 days. (better than 21!) So whilst I am still waiting for the wonders an 8mg-thingamy-jig can do, I am stuck with dial up... How did we manage before broadband?! You can't watch anything on YOUTUBE, it stutters and starts as it takes 45 minutes to load a 5 minute clip, and every page I open, well, I could write this out quicker than it took to get somewhere! Rant over...unless my broadband doesn't arrive!

Had a haircut yesterday, went bob style with a fringe, from shoulder length to chin (which one!LOL!) length. How come it never looks the same as when they do it after you wash it? Other half says it is ok, but he likes it longer and can't get used to seeing me with it short. Still don't know myself...

So far I have lost 6lb at weight watchers, and have bought myself 2 incentive dresses in the sale in size 16. I was trying to work out when I would get into them, and my head hurts from trying to work it out, but going on roughly 1lb a week, I am looking at summer 2009!! Bit longer than I had hoped...maybe I will beat it?!

Had a stressful day today, seemed to have been telling my son of every 5 minutes for something or other... School holidays, who invented them?! Think it is his boredom. Bought some flashcards to try and get him on with his alphabet, as phonics doesn't seem to be working. Asked his teacher about dyslexia, runs in the family, and he has the early signs, but she said it is too early to tell, and he is doing ok for his age...so we will see. She should know by Easter if he isn't up to the stage he should be, and said it isn't really until they are 7 you can tell....2 years to go!

Well, think that is my news for this week...all still full of cold, nothing new there and the weather is still freezing! Time to get the bed blanket out I think!
