Well having had an ipod for several months and only ever managed to put a couple of songs onto it I decided this was the weekend. Spent friday night ripping music. Saturday decided to put it onto it. Now I know they are supposed to do it when they synchronise but mine just wont do that so I have to do it manually. Probably me being rubbish with computors. Anyway finally get all this stuff onto my ipod and to M`s which was brilliant for- sight tho I didnt know it yet. Anyway then I decide I am having problems with finding new stuff so I will delete all the old music I already have and start again so I can just add album by album. ( have a laptop and not much disk storage space) Plug in ipod to add next album and it wipes everything else! Depression or what. So I had a rest and took dogs a walk. Then came back and had a look on the internet and look up how to restore music to itunes from ipod. Loads of posts saying cant be done but then: lo and behold theres a post with directions. Detailed dierections cos else couldnt have even considered doing what I did. Anyway 4 steps later I have learned how to make ipod separate storage device and extracted all of M`s music ( which didnt have as much as I managed to wipe but saves days of time downloading) and have restored at least 80% of what i wiped. Hey hey success. I actually feel I might be able to use ipods from now on. And I have loads of music to play in my car on journey to work!
Other than that met a good friend S and her boyfriend on Saturday night and went over the road to our local and indulged in lots of real ale. Felt disgusting on Sunday morning. Even a long country walk with Ronnie and Reggie ( my two "stray" dogs) didnt really make me feel much better. Couldnt do much on Sunday cos M had to go to work. They have changed his work so he now has to do rotating shifts and the night shift starts on Sunday night which really doesnt give a very long weekend! No idea why they had to do that cos hes been working there for years and the 3 shifts sorted it out amongst themselves so that in the yard each person only had to work one shift. Now a manager has decided they must all rotate. Not only does it muck up 3 different familly lives its not good for your health and I have heard it said it knocks years off your lifespan too which is not good. Still hopefully something will come along and M will find a better job. Especially since he works 25 miles away anyway. The main reason for staying there was he liked it and the shifts were ok. When management drop stuff like this on you you may just as well move to a different company. So anyway we had a very short weekend and I didnt drink anything on Sunday ( alcoholwise anyway!)......... probably good for my health but not much fun.
This is about me finding myself and the story of how I have changed my life, become self employed and how I developed the products which are now my livelihood. Its the story of all the trials and problems and wonders of life that happen. I cannot even think what it would be like to return to the me of 2008 now and altho I am very poor really financially I am so very much happier and quality of life is so much better. And I am closer to being free than ever before in my adult life.

Ooh, good you know how to grow things from seed, am very jealous and when we finally find the garden under all the weeds might have to ask for tips.
Congratulations on starting your blog, like your bit on favourite things a lot, might have to copy it if that is ok?

Hello Tatty
Feel free to copy anything you fancy. Thank you for reading. I am a bit addicted to growing things from seed. Conkers are one of my favourites. Every house I have ever lived in has ended up with a small conker tree. There are 3 tho that are over 30 years old now and they are still there. I started them when I first started school. Let me know when you need some advice. Not all my seeds grow tho. It is a bit hit and miss but I love growing all sorts of seeds including veg and wild flowers. You can grow potatoes in old plastic bins. They are really rewarding.
