h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Terri, can´t we consider getting jajah dot com? Members have one hour free each per day for phoning each other - and P might find phoning customers a lot cheaper. This is not adverhooliganing, mind - I´m not connected with that firm.

Oooh, not heard of that one! We have some fiends on Skype, but the phone calls are often bad quality sound wise;maybe best if you emailed him with details in German? Meanwhile, yet more changes on h2g2, watch out for long user names! http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/classic/F77636?thread=7070303 Tomorrow we take the for a bonking holiday; not easy rounding them up & putting them in the van; but worth it if we get nice healthy springy lambs! zdt

We, use MSN Messenger now instead of Skype, and it gives really good picture and sound, I have regular link ups with my mate I knew in the Navy, who now lives in the USA.

Smudger.

Sorry Terri for the late reply. Now and again I do see the solitary mouse it does scare me at first. It's a brown mouse and if I try and go near it, it runs away.

I don't have a pet myself as I have not had the experience of looking after a pet on my own. I have been interested in voluntary to work with animals but as the case with everything to do with Thurrock it's always in another borough but in this case another county and not in daily transport range. If I fostered a cat, I would have to either an extra seperate room or the garden fenced off.

Belated birthday greetings to P, very sorry they are late.


Hootoo vibes for Aye bee wench and I hoping that her journey to South Africa was an easy one.

Katrine

Hi all!

Hmm; Kat; seems like Thurrock is a bit limited for your self....is there any way you could move to somewhere a bit more suitable?

for P birthday greetings; it was low key; he wanted it that way. We also just had 'at his suggestion; i am useless with actual dates!) a small cosy night out at a restaurant to celebrate our 'One year Living together' thing....we've had our moments; Trust is a big issue for both of us, but let's hope we can overcome that with lots of on both sides.

The are now safely on their bonking holiday; the donkey Hootoo is being a Naughty Boy & jumping fences, but has been allowed back from Punishment Field (Our version of guantanomo bay in Eye Land) after having chased the poor doggy. He can take his chances with Molly the goat.

I've got a poorly tooth & have appointment with dentist tomorrow, there is a huge "TO DO" list on the wall & meanwhile it's bloody freezing cold & wet here. We are wondering if this bodes good or bad for P's work; people may decide to stick with expensive but reliable electrity or wonder "Hmm; if it's windy, that means free power"?

His digital camera died & has gone to camera hospital in Germany; he needs it for w**k & is using my ancient Canon F1 meanwhile. The folk who made his Pentax say it's gonna cost 150 euros to sort, the local camera shop sells a new one for 140!

Throwaway society eh?

He bought me a hilarious singing, dancing puppy toy two days back; it sings "Shout" but i am driving him, insane by playing with it & the batteries seem to have died....or maybe been removed? (I have Evil Plan to replace them & place puppy with dancing ears in Strange Places)

The airing cupboard's a gud place

Hi Terri there is very little chance of moving out of the borough (living in council property) and transfer to another borough as I would have to have a solid offer of work or family ties which I don't have as all my immediate family members are living in Thurrock. Also it is probiting expense to move and the only way round it was me to hire a van and then find a driver (I don't know anyone) to drive it as I don't drive.

*sigh* I know that situation Kat, it's awful. I can't really offer any advice; the only way i got out of France was via P & his van, i feel trapped even now 'cos of having no entitlement to Benefits for another year & nowhere to go.

Which is not to say i don't love P; i do, very much, but the finacial dependency issue gets in the way of real love; sad but true.

He's going off on a solo holiday soon, probably to Israel; thankfully Lady P will be showing him around , meanwhile i stay here & look after the etc....i can't help feeling a bit resentful; but after all; he's supported me financially for a year now, he deserves a break from zendevils i guess!

I'd thought about me at the same time re-visiting Malawi; but it costs far too much: flights, accommodation, cattery etc...ah well.

What really p's me off is that it's all so sudden & i've been working hard on an Advent Calendar for him, which he should start opening on Dec 1st; he won't be here, so i abandon a project which meant i could give him which cost nothing except a whole lotta & stuff.Sounds a very trivial issue; but since i can't actually buy him anything, it was all i had to give.

Ah well. So it goes.

zdt

he has your 2 arms and your heart, 3 very valuable gifts

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Thanks for that Prof, i needed it

How's life at your end (No, down, boy, not *that* end!!!!!!!)

zdt

Terri, big hugs from me. I'm rather puzzled that P wants to take a holiday by himself. Doesn't sound nearly as fun as going with you. Well, you'll be there to welcome him home.

I'm doing pretty well. Nice birthday on the 19th, and then Thanksgiving coming up. Yes, all in all, doing nicely. I plan to bake some gluten free brownies.

JEllen, you weren't around and I don't have an email address for you, so I couldn't wish you a happy birthday for last week love
hope you had a wonderful day all, the same

Dear friends, I have just received a phone call from Terri
1 - her computer is down, so she can't come and post this message herself

P has just in the last hour, had a phone call that his mam has to have an operation (I will not put which sort, but she's 92 of age)and any/all holidays are now on hold. There is a possibility that they will have to travel to Germany shortly to be with his mam

any further updates as and when - BUT!
Terri asks that could her hootoo "family" PLEASE send good health vibes and thoughts at this time

mine are already outgoing

Oh Terri! And we had such a happy conversation this afternoon

I will be thinking of you both, and of course, P's Mum...

Sending my love and well wishes to Terri, P, and P's mom. 92 is old but if she's a strong lady an operation might just be another experience for her to remember. I hope so.

Sending good vibes your way Terri. Wellness wishes for P's mom.

Terri, in case P doesn´t give you the kiss I Emiled - kick him. I guess you are as worried about PMum as he is, so...

Hi everyone, Peter here,
thank you for all your good wishes to my mum!
Phoned her yesterday and she was in good form, but still has to wait for the operation.
To Pit: Kiss has been delivered by Express, klaro!

hope all goes ok Peter
