Hmmmm......
« on: February 23, 2022, 04:56:15 am »
I see Moira wasn't here while I slept, she usually is so I hope she was busy packing and not sick. 
It snowed a little while I slept but there must have been freezing rain before the snow.  When I put one foot out the door to put an envelope in the mail box I could tell it was slippery.   We don't have to go out today so think I'l stay inside. 
As you can see, I don't know a thing.  I'll be back later to see what Darien has to say today.

Moira rang me last night to tell me her internet usage has once again been used up and Matt's extra WiFi thingy wasn't working, she was NOT happy!!!!! Jack will no be banned from using the internet as he watches Utube which uses up a lot of data. Matt will be going in today to try and sort his WiFi problem out, I wouldn't want to be the one he confronts!!!!!! Hopefully Matt will sort it out for them today and Moira will be back today

Oh dear, I hope Matt gets things back working again for Moira.  I'm sure she is not happy and you and I aren't happy either.

No I was not happy last night ! I thing Matt's WIFI thing was flat but he plugged it in but it took ages to work and about 03:30AM  it was flashing on the  kitchen bench and it woke me up as my ( slightly open ) bedroom door is opposite !!!!! So I got up to switch it off and this morning Matt tried my computer and it worked.  Probably a good job as he paid an extra $70 too !!! It would not be a good idea for him to go to confront Spark WIFI  in Westgate !!! He was annoyed last night too ! Jack was not happy after school today as he only had half an hour on here :)

You have your snow Linda and I AM sweating cobs again in my Over the boob dress !!!!!!!

You and Jack would both be happy you have internet now again, what a relief!!
I can't imagine needing an over the boob dress here at the moment.  The temperature was 4 degrees above zero when I looked this morning.  Sure wish I could send you over a big blast of air!

Jack can sit on here for an hour and a half after school normally but not any more !!!!!!!!!!! I Know I have said that before !!!!!!! Hahahaha he got 30 mins.  today !

Thankfully it was not quite so humid here today but I was in the car and I did go shopping and I did spend some money ... on groceries  mainly....... as Matt wants to borrow MY car  tomorrow ... Friday and  back Sunday ...to go to Hawkes Bay .. East of here to take his mate Matt McCombie a puppy  !  I cannot drive John's ute so I will be housebound for 3 days. WELL I suppose I could drive it in an emergency but it is stick shift !

Last night / well early morning  .....  about 5am it absolutely belted down with rain for about 10/15 minutes ONLY !    It woke me up ...as well as the puppies yapping and squealing !!!!!!!

You and Jack will just have to work it out, but watching Utube videos etc use up an awful lot of data and downloads.

How is Matt going to take the pup in the car? Do you have a traveling cage? When will he buy his own transport? I had most of my lessons in a manual car, but swapped to a automatic and I haven't driven a manual since and I know I couldn't!!!!!!!

I have no clue as to how to drive anything but an automatic car.  Lil has always had a stick shift because it's more economical or so she and Larry say. 
So Matt's friend is buying a pup.  Tell me again how much each pup costs?  I know it's a lot but of course I don't remember how  much.
John may have to drive you if you want to go somewhere while Matt is gone and I know you wouldn't like that.  I recall what you think of John's driving.  Some things I never forget.
30 minutes on the computer would have flown by in a flash for Jack.  There is no better way to have time fly than when you are on the computer, at least for me that's true.

Jack is banned on here till 03 March ! Well the air was BLUE when the internet WIFI stopped this arvo.  Matt paid $80 last week for ... ? so many gigs. Today they got used up !  Ridiculous. Jack did a runner ..... and Matt spent ages complaining to Spark via phone..... Useless .... so Matt Invested ANOTHER $80 so we could all have internet access until MY $100 a month SPARK WIFI starts again on 3rd March !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SO something is not right here and I WILL visit Spark next week and check !!!!

I always drove a Manual car until things got modern and I had to learn how to drive an Automatic so now I CAN drive either BUT I do prefer the auto.  BUT despite my old age I am sure I could manage a manual IF needed ! Of course John COULD drive me in the ute .........................but !~

How long was Jack on your computer for? He will just have to use all his parents data up. Like I said, if Jack is watching Utube videos, there goes all your data!!!!

The pups are being sold for $1,500NZ.

Today Jack " needed "  to check something on MY computer ... !

Bonnie has.... Vodaphone WIFI or something different to me and it is also costly so Jack is not allowed to use her computer or phone for long ! Dan has Spark but needs it for work and his phone !

SO Jack comes up here to ' easy going Grammy ' ! I told him today that he needs to pay $50 to Matt IF he wants to use the computer WIFI for 2 hours !  HE ran home and got his cash out for his hiding place and brought it ALL back up here ! I think he has about $400 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh  my goodness, Jack DOES love the computer.  I don't think Breck is all that interested in the computer but she might be.  Come to think of it, I don't think they have a computer, just their phones and a tablet.  Only Emmitt has a phone at this point.

Oh dear Grammy, did he pay Matt? Won't that 2 hours eat up a lot of your data?
