Less than a week to go - and the PC again

Less than a week to go until Xmas. And the bloody desktop PC has gone down again - and it does not sound good as it refuses to boot up - just going into a perpetual re-boot. And as usual have not backed up for a couple of days. My intention now is to move everything to the Laptop as well. Mainly will have to look into Windows Mail so I can use my email. May even looking at moving the adresses to a Webmail such as Yahoo.

As for Windows Mail - why oh why do they make things always more difficult not easier, always changing names, where actions are etc. And the Americans wonder why the Japanese do it better!!

Raffle sales are down nearly $5000 on last year and $2000 on 2006 which shows how the recession is starting to have an effect.

Final Quiz night for the year and we had a team of 7 and after our decision never to move away from General Knowledge as our bonus (double points) round we did terrible with 5/10 but came 2nd!!! $30 worth. To cap it off Christine took a ticket in the meat pack and won!! Whoo hoo - a good night.

It needed to be as most of us have been sick with a 24 hour bug. I seem to have come off the best as I was just feeling queasy and very tired - no vomiting. Luckily Kipp has not caught it as yet.

Is see Barak Obama is Times person of the year. However, I couldn't gety over one quote about Sarah palin as " the bright future for the Republican Party".
