What have you been doing today?

She must know she can lean on you Den - you sound like a wonderful father. 

[Delightful Den]

You know those T shirts that say "S**t happens" well they must have known her when they made those.

She passed through Perth a couple of weeks ago with work and we had a quick visit.  Then right after she got home she dropped her phone and cracked the screen. So when she was down here visiting for the week she got her phone replaced.  Then she couldn't link her phone to her computer because her version of iTunes was too old. Unfortunately she couldn't update iTunes because the operating system on her computer was too old for the new version of iTunes. She couldn't updte to the latest operating system because her was so old she need to update the the previous update (which is no longer available) first. Luckily she could afford a new computer which she really needed anyway. But then She had trouble getting her data to migtrate from the old computer to the new computer.

sending hugs for you Den.

Some one has to have a DD like that, and she is lucky to have you to help her out..

'Aint technology grand


DS woke up with a really sore throat this morning, but it's amazing what panadol can do (providing you can get the child to drink it )
The oven repair man came this morning - it's not terribly promising. We dont know what model it is and he doesnt have the spare part in stock. One of the hinges is broken, so he said that it's no use getting a new thermostat if he cant get a new hinge
He also said that it's difficult to find a replacement oven that will fit in the exisiting space

Isn't it amazing what we have to do for our kids

My solution ES.... win the lottery and buy a whole new house

Sorry, thats probably not helpful!

[astarra]

Oh ES - hope something works out soon. 

[Delightful Den]

I had the same problem when we replaced our oven ES.  All the new ovens were just a little bit smaller. I found one that was close but needed to get a cabinet maker to make and fit a filler piece to go around the new oven. Our kitchen cabinets are Jarrah so it was easy to match. Though there is a slight colour difference but we hardly notice it now.

I just received a part from Melbourne today, for my Mums oven, that I ordered on Monday, (pretty good).

Local repair man tried 6 months ago. (still waiting)
Hopefully DH will fix it tonight..

[judydawn]

ES, so are you out looking for a new oven or a new kitchen and a new oven    Sometimes one thing leads to another and before you know it, you are renovating the whole room.  Hope it's all fixed for the busy Christmas season.

DD, you must be a great Dad that's all I can say.  You think once they have left home, they will be independent - wrong!!

[Delightful Den]

Too true JD. DD the eldest is very independent.  Hardly ever hear from her. She has purchased her first home, saves money  and goes n overseas holidays. I guess they all can't be alike and she does keep life interesting.

Sending much needed hugs to Den and ES. Tomorrow is another new day guys, hope its a better one.
Had kinder duty today followed by groceries and netball tonight. Feel like a quick nap on couch but DS keeps poking me.

Been a busy day here. DS's school gala is tomorrow, so baked a cake for that (still have to ice), baked a batch of muffins for a friend with sick husband and kids, and another batch of muffins for us (or the kds would not be happy).
Also am helping on the craft activity stall at the gala tomorrow so preparing stuff for that.
AND having my first stand at a craft market on Saturday, so trying to finish off the last few dolls nappies I have made.  Plenty more I would like to have done for it, but drawing the line there.
phew! What a week!

Had coffee and a lovely chat with a forum friend today. A tiny bit of shopping and as soon as I get off here I must make some bread as we are out.  I forgot to take the sourdough starter out last night so it will have to be ordinary bread.
