I am back from Birmingham don't know who started the Manchester thing ???? but I was in Birmingham, well the conference was in Telford and we spent the first night there, but last night we stayed in Birmingham. It was good to be away from home, first time in years that I have spent a night away from home without my boys, and I did miss them.
Michelle and I stayed in a competitor hotel last night as we could not get into one of ours as it was fully booked. The one we stayed in last night shall remain unnamed but it was not very good. They did not make up the sofa bed as we were sharing a room and when we asked them they said it was too bad and that there were no staff to do it and so we would have to do it ourselves, and then there was no bedding anyway. And the room was not very clean but we will not go into that.
We went to see a movie last night after dinner. We had a really nice dinner and when I added the tip onto the bill I made a cockup and tipped the guy about 30% by mistake so he must have been laughing. The movie we say was "Along came Polly" with Jennifer Aniston and Ben stiller. It was not fantastic but a nice feel good movie.
I have a mega mega huge sore blister right under my foot from walking to the hotel yesterday from the station, it was a little further than we thought so this morning we cought a cab as I could not walk that far again and I only had the one pair of shoes.
To answer all questions from the previous comments.
Webcam is only on when my PC is on so if you are going to check it in the early SA morning, there is 100% chance it will not be on as I will be asleep here, or if I am away from home it will of course also not be on. The best time to check is in my late morning till early evening, before or after that I will be in bed and will have put the PC off for the night, if its not on check back in an hour or so.
The time I was talking about it not being accessed was on Mon 22nd when it was on from 9am UK time (11am SA time) till after midnight and there was not 1 access attempt to it in all this time. And that was 15 hours worth of the day. There was no error as I did check that the stats monitor was working. Anyway I cannot see the point in keeping it on anyway as T hates it. So if its on and you see it count it as a bonus!!!! I will keep putting it on at random times, however if it appears to be facing a wall that is because T has realised its on and turned it around in his usual protest againts his privacy being invaded LOL.
SMS feature has been removed as I was testing it out and I had some credits on the internet to send SMS's, these have now run out and I do not want to buy anymore, sorry!! You can however still send me an SMS from your mobile *smiles*.
PS - Tarryn was superdad looking after the kids and did a superjob.
*smiles* ooooh a wee bit irritable then? I was online, looking at your page at the time that why i was going to send you a sms... *swat* but thanks for the phone call, pleased that it was good and that all went well... how is the web thing going for Charmaine....
Birmingham, Manchester, whats the difference. I got it wrong, thought thats where you were. Cant believe a hotel treats a guest like that!! How not to do it.
I also was trying to get the webcam on 22nd at about, lets see, 12ish my time, so 1000ish yours.
Glad you are back and had a nice time. Tarryn did seem pretty cool about handling the babes. He did comment that it takes up 100% of ones time mmmmm I could have told him that. Anyway after the first 4 years ( yes 4 years Corrinna) it gets easier, so for you its only 1 to go, thats when they go to full time nursery school and you get the morning at least to yourself again.
*winks at CP* the difference between Birmingham and Manchester is about 300km. Birmingham meant i couldt just pop in to visit Jin for tea, Manchester meant i could do it at the drop of a hat... so when i saw Manchester her i called Jin right away and said ''hey babes, i am a comming to visit, red skadonk and all'' only to be told she was 300kms South... :( but dont waaaaary, T also told Anita it was Manchester...
ANYWAYS... my boy is at nursery from 09h00 till 12h00 so yup, i get time to GALLIVANT and boy do i love it!!!! and... he is a much calmer, more fulfilled kid for it, so all in all, we are having a good time with nursery now... thank god!
Ahhhh well there may be another time I am that close by. You can come visit me here you know. *begging look* miss you all so much.
