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

Hiya again..am over now as my systems playing games and wont let me to reply to the other thread!..lol(I sneak in here through tv email..lol)

Am very sorry to hear about you;re dad being ill
My mum lost both her parents a couple of years back, her mum just before he xmas and her dad the following feb.It was very hard for her, especially as she lives here and they were still in scotland .It hd been about 6 years since she had last visited,so i know what you're saying about making the most of being close by.

So you are a vegan, You must be very self disciplined!
I cold never cope with a diet so strict,even if I do agree with the principles behind it .

And i always put weight on ,on my tummy!.lol
would bsolutely love to have a bum as i haven't really got one at all!..lol

Hello again! You tend to pop up all over the place, don't you?

How do you find Internet access through your television? Who is your service provider?

I'll swap you then! Second thoughts...You can have my bum and keep your tummy too! LOL!

Self disciplined? Moi? ROFL!!

Milk and cheese were difficult to give up, but that was years ago and I can't stand them now and find them too sweet and slimy. I know this because occasionally I have eaten/drunk my hubby John's food/drink by mistake.

Believe me you definately dont want my tummy!..lol I put on a lot of weight (all on my tummmy almost)cos of a medical problem I had(enourmous ovarian cyst),but im losing it now..slowy
And yes..i do have a habit of shifting around a bit, get itchy feet..lol
hope you dont mind

almost forgot this part!
I dont actually have internet access!..but someone emailed me a lik to the bbci website ages ago and i found this through that , im with a digital cable company

My mum-in-law has Email access via her NTL digital television and I know that she can access websites such as Tesco's or Iceland's but didn't think it extended to the BBC website. One learns something every day!

Does having cable mean that you don't have to pay for your Internet access as a phone bill?

I get itchy feet too, usually when they're strapped into something that takes ages to undo and when I'm in the middle of a shop where it would be embarrassing to rip my boots off for a good scratch! LOL

It's probably a similar thing to needing a loo as soon as I know that there isn't one for miles!

I was actually meaning metaphorical itchy feet (being a fidgety person),but the real thing is pretty bad isnt iit!..lol
, To me the horror of public horrors though is the itchy bum cheeek! ,you're out shopping,its itching like mad and theres too many people around to be able to scratch it...!!
And as any internet access i get rom creeping through a back door in y email..yeah its free .

It must be great to be a chap as they never seem to worry when or where they have a good scratch!

Speaking of chaps...Have you heard from your boyfriend since he apologised?

Your cable t.v. Internet access sounds great! How do you find it for speed (ie how fast do pages load)?

I'd love to have access to cable here but it isn't available where we live although I've tried to talk my mum-in-law into getting a small pc. However, she's worried that she'll end up neglecting her art/letter writing (she's a retired art teacher and is an artist who is a Bohemian type of person).

morning , yes e and b/f are fine now, hes an really .As i said before,I dont actually have internet access!..my cable tv package has an interactive service which gives me acess to free tv email ,and a few sites like iceland etc . someone emailed me a link to get into the bbc1 website and i get in here through that ,do have some problems sometimes though
Asfor page loading time,it REALLY slow ,but better than nothing I suppose .

There was a link was sent a while back that got me into the internet,but after a while the cable company blocked it.Now I can use this, but if I went toclick on one of the internet links in here it would beblocked .

Well its shopping today today,Not keen on shopping day,lol I lke gettingall the goodies ,but hate carrying it all home!ussually gett a taxi as ive got 1 dodgy arm anyway (sine i broke my elbow last year)..lol
Loads of housework to do too a fun day I think--NOT!..LOL

Sorry about your elbow. I have a similar problem with carrying heavy bags, etc as I've had surgery twice for prolapsed pelvic muscles and really need another operation for my uterus this time but can't bear the thought of being out of action for up to six months afterwards.

*Martyred grin*

Luckily for me, our local Co-Operative superstore is only 10 minutes walk away and provides a free home delivery service to customers who spend £15 or more.

It's an extremely handy service as I get to walk a lot more and last year, we clocked less than 3,000 miles on our car and I must have saved a fortune in petrol fees!

Long may your sneaking in via the backdoor to h2g2 continue. If you suddenly stop appearing, then I'll know that you've been rumbled.

Have you thought of booking Internet sessions at your local public library? I believe they're free of charge...

My Email address is gwen at theveryleast dot freeserve dot co dot uk (without the spaces and transpose the "at" with an "@"). Please feel free to drop me a line. It would be a way of keeping in touch if ever you do loose access to h2g2.

Thanks for the email address .Know wot you mean about the pelvic floor probs, I had to have surgry for mine after I had my son (they bungled up a bit).Dont think they did too good a job though, been thinking of going to see my dr see if need more done or can have some physio or something .

I celand where I shop also offer a home delivery service..thyve never got a driver on though!useless .

My mum-in-law uses Iceland's home delivery and places her orders by phone (she's had both her hips replaced over the past two years and so has been housebound for quite a time and would have been lost without the home delivery service). Touch wood, she hasn't had any reason to complain and even received a box of and bottle of wine when she came home from hospital following her first operation. I reckon that she'd been chatting up the delivery driver! LOL!

I'd visit your doctor and get things down below sorted out as soon as possible were I you, rather than leaving it as I did. I think the younger one is, the better chance one has of recovering more quickly. What would you do with your son if you had to stay in hospital?

HI ..hope I didnt confuse you by changing my name .

Yep it definately sounds like your mum had been chatting someone up!lol
As for what id do with my if I went into hospital,well ive had to have 3 operations since he was born!so im sure id manage.
The first was for my pelvic floor,was in about 4 days,the 2nd was a big tummy up for a massive ovarian cyst ,was only in 3 days cos i wanted to go home earlier cos of family probs ,and the 3rd was when they had to put my elbow back together ,was in 5 days then .
The first 2 times he tayed with my mum,and the last time he stayed with a friend.

Been quite in the wars haven;t I ..am not 25 yet,lol

Tsk! For a mere child, you certainly have been in the wars, haven't you? I'll be loaning you my Zimmer frame before you know it!

About five years ago my hubby and I were talking about all the injuries and broken bones he'd suffered during his life. Very stupidly I proudly stated that I'd never broken anything in my life, to which John said that I must have had a very boring childhood!

Less than a week later I fell down the stairs when I tripped on some laundry that has escaped my arms and broke my left leg, just above the ankle in two places.

Because it was about 2.00 a.m. and the kids were asleep in bed, John had to call an ambulance out to take me to hospital. No one, not even the ambulance men believed that I was sober, as the night I had chosen to fall down the stairs was New Year's Eve!
