Book Challenge

TOH has challeneged me to read one of the three large piles of books beside my bed before the end of the year, this means no more book buying (apart from the ones mentioned previously).

I'm going to have to get through another 16(ish) books, i've already read 20 books so far this year. Mind you i tend to get through about 50 books per year, so i should be ok, as long as they're not enormous books. I might just try to sneak some of them into the gaps in the boxes of books to be read under my bed.

I think there should be one of those emails about this, you know the ones that start "You know you're addicted to books when ..." I suppose having about 150 books in my TBR pile is showing some kind of addiction, either to books, or pilling books ... not sure :)

Nose Job

My nose is now fixed! I went to the consultant for my referral and he said he could see the problem and promptly cauterized my nose for me. But i have to say it is incredibly painful and uncomfortable, it feels like i have a burn up there and that i need to sneeze the whole time. Anyway, hopefully no more nosebleeds *fingers crossed* and no more visits to A & E.

I also have the correct form for HLG Wales bank account so that should be up and running asap. This form looks loads more user friendly so i shouldn't have trouble filling it in at all *phew* What with setting up the webpage & the bank account i'm feeling a little drained, but at least once it's all set up it should be easier to look after.

New Books

I'm so excited! There are going to be 2 new books, by authors i love, published in the next couple of months. I've been waiting for so long for them to arrive and now they're arriving with a month of each other.
The new Lynne Flewelling is due on 3rd July & the new Jacqueline Carey is due on 12th June. They're both out in paperback then (i think) so i'll be able to buy them and not have to wait months more for the paperback to arrive.
Now all i need to do is stop myself buying books (and infront of TOH so i look very restrained) for the next month and i'll be able to buy them both.
Oh, and i just remember that the Jasper Fforde book should be out soon and that one i'm allowed to buy in hardback because that would make all the copies on my shelves look the same.
I know that last comment makes me look incredibly sad but it all makes a difference :)

Web Design Class

Well, off i go to my web design class, now the question is do i show my tutor all the web things i've been doing while not going to his class? Probably not because it would confuse the dear. I suppose i should get TOH to host my web design class pages on his server once it's up and running (8 days until broadband).
I've just noticed that my email update arrived at some point over the w/e, i know it says Thursday but it definately wasn't there then, i was checking frantically to see if it had worked! I'm not altogether sure why i would want to update my blog by email though ...

Testing the Email Update

This is just a test to see if i can email my updates.

Pants

Today started out pants with a lovely morning nosebleed not to mention some badly damaged books being returned from another library and some very annoying things being printed out on the printer, but it has turned out ok. I've sent the boss out with everything she needed for her meetings this afternoon and i have loads of work to do. I much prefer having stuff to do at work than being bored, i hate being bored and just sitting there.

I'm going on a home visit this afternoon with the other half to the posh end of town which should be interesting, the best bit of home visits is getting to see some lovely homes and getting ideas for my *imaginary* new home. The only bad thing is even though a home might be perfect for a new cat i always get niggles worrying that there might be something about it i haven't seen. I know this is daft because i check everything out, and the cat might well get itself injured doing something totally harmless but i'm a born worrier :)

The First Post

Right, i decided to create a Blog for myself so here it is :)
I'm hoping to put descriptions of the books i'm reading, any of the knitting i'm doing and my Animal Crossing - Wild World exploits into this blog.

Oh my life, i just checked to see how this all looks and i'm so impressed. What the heck am i doing learning Dreamweaver at night classes for when Blogger does this all for me, and Google looks after my main page? Oh, i remember, i need certificates to improve myself ...
Right, here's my main page, just in case you want a look:
http://shelbycat.googlepages.com/home
not the most exciting but not bad considering i started all this today. Now all i need is to get a digital camera and i can go completely online crazy :)
