Some brilliant posts - LOL jacqui.c about the carpet.
I've loved seeing my 2 young ladies turning into just that, and their patience with me.
I say to the younger one, "Wow, I bought my first things off Amazon !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i typed away, and the order went ping!! and then, then, two days later, the CDs flopped on the mat without me moving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
and she, at 21, sighs and says, "Dad, that's like going into the newsagent, asking for The Guardian, paying and getting it."
Welllllllll I-I-I-I-I-I'm still excited. tsk, kids !! :-)
