About Me

My photo
I am a woman, mother and grandmother and love being all three! I have many interests as you will find out if you read all my profile! I would say I am just a normal woman, but I have no idea what normal is. We are all so different but very unique in our own way anyway aren't we? We only have one life this isn’t a dress rehearsal so make the most of it and try and achieve what it is you want in life I treat people they way I wish to be treated and I think most people would agree they would like the same!

Well I am back on line thank goodness got rid of the wireless and back with the broadband I don’t like the wireless not at all my cup of tea and far too expensive! $48 a month for 1 GB ridiculous especially when one is used to 12 GB for $57.


Reading http://nicenwarm.blogspot.com/ about her trouble with her internet suppliers I can completely sympathise with her!

These last three months I have had that many run ins with these people, almost the same problems as nicenwarm. You come across some who don’t understand a word you are saying (or so they make out)
How could someone not understand my nice Scottish accent lol No seriously it has drove me silly at times you just about have to spell everything out to them It got to the point I hung up on them three times so dissatisfied.
And finding myself getting so angry with manor in which some of these people spoke to me. Others didn’t seem to know too much about computers or internet so why do they work there?
Very few seemed to be any good with PR skills, maybe these companies should give there staff more PR lessons as they sure do lack them and maybe some basic computer and internet skills

Holidays


I had an email from my cousin and he was telling me he and another cousin are booking to go to Cyprus next year for a holiday Well I don’t know much about Cyprus haven’t been there so done a wee search and was quite taken with it. It looks an okay country what I have read about it so far








This bit I like :-)

Climate
The climate of Northern Cyprus makes the island one of the healthiest places in the world in which to live, consisting of a long hot summer and a dry short winter. The country enjoys approximately 340 days of sunshine annually, and the lowest sea temperature is rarely below 63 degrees F.

Weather

A dry dam and a not so dry one :-(



Our weather has been shocking rain, rain and such strong winds. It’s been horribly cold and so wet. I just hope all the rain we have had will help with the water restrictions, the dams and reservoirs must have a lot of water in them now surly?


To be honest I like the subtropical weather I think I may have to move!
