  1. Today I got a wooden splinter stuck underneath my fingernail, which came loose from the wooden floor. With some effort we managed to pry it loose. I've never had such a big splinter! It hurts a lot.

      Ouch! Be sure to watch for infection! That's a difficult place to tend to. Hope the soreness is going away.

  2. Happy Back to the Future Day!

      Did you watch the movies? I watched BTTF2 specifically. :)

    4. Athena

      I would have if we owned them, but the last few times we watched them we borrowed them off somebody. And we don't have a TV signal in the bakery. I plan to buy the movies some time though so we have them ourselves :). I'm glad you enjoyed watching it, they are great movies!

  3. I found some boxes with old children's books from my childhood, up in the attic! I had been looking for these books for some time, it'll be very nostalgic going through these boxes and seeing what I've got! Such nostalgia.

      How lovely! Enjoy all your rummaging.

  4. I haven't been feeling well recently, it seems it might be because of my newer dosage of medication. I'll post more about it later, but I need to rest now.

      Thanks, Muggle Not :).

  5. Today hasn't been a good day, there were several bad news things that happened (in short, a death, an accident, financial stuff). I am not feeling well but will elaborate probably tomorrow in a post somewhere. I don't have the time nor the energy at the moment to read all the new posts but I will do so tomorrow. Hopefully a better day.

      Sorry so many things went bad all at the same time , Athena. Sure hope things will improve soon.

    4. Athena

      Athena

      Thanks Julie, it's going a bit better at the moment. My boyfriend is back from his trip in the UK so I can more easily talk with him about the bad things that happened.

  6. The new internet works now! I'm totally excited, it's actually faster than the old one and it's smoother! :D. The house phones don't work well yet unless I'm close to the receiver which is in an awkward place atm. Woohoo for faster internet :D :D :D!

      WooHoo zippy internet, fantabulous. :)

  7. We'll be switching internet providers soon, so if I'm absent for a while you know why. I'm hoping for not much downtime though, that things will go smoothly.

      Fingers crossed, and I hope you get a faster service when you`ve switched !

  8. I'm having computer problems, I'm not sure yet if it's a hardware or a software issue.

  9. Our two little zijdehoender chicken have been taken by a predator, there's nothing but feathers left. May the both of them rest in peace, we miss you :(.

  11. The farmer next door has been making lots of noise and smells at the strangest hours. It's really annoying.

    1. pontalba

      pontalba

      Any news on what is causing the smells?

  12. I'm back from my trip to the UK. Now there's unpacking to do and things to be bought. I'm so tired..

      We bought some crisps but that's about it. I did go in a WHSmith but they mainly had French magazines. This is the big move :P. We got my boyfriend's things from the UK.

      Hey! She's back! :D :D

      Welcome home!

  13. The internet is being incredibly slow.. and 3G won't even connect. I think it might be the bad weather we've been having :(.

    1. Athena

      Athena

      I think I might've fixed it..

    2. Athena

      It's still not working properly.. hopefully it'll be better next week when my dad can take a look at it.

  14. My boyfriend's 15-year-old nephew has died :(. It's very sad and sudden. May he rest in peace :(.

      Sorry must have missed this last time i was on. That is so sad, a sudden death is always a shock but when it's someone so young it's even more heartbreaking xx

    3. Devi

      Very sorry to hear this Athena. :( My thoughts are with you and your boyfriend.

      Very sorry Gaia, much love to you and your boyfriend xx

  15. Amazon.co.uk is no longer doing free shipping over 25 pounds to the Netherlands. From now on I have to pay shipping for every item. Boohoo :(!

      Not all bad news - last Sunday, I had an Amazon delivery. Maybe it`s to pay for improvements ?

    3. Athena

      Athena

      Maybe, but I don't know how much I'll be ordering from them if I have to pay shipping on every single item. It costs a bit so it might work out cheaper to go elsewhere (though I love that you can track packages and the site itself). I'll have to see on a case by case basis.

      I order a lot through Amazon marketplace and got used to being able to get a `fulfilled by Amazon` used book for £2 or so. Having to get a basket full of used books for £10 is a bit of a mathematical puzzle now !

  16. I love books!

  17. Our internet is very unstable because of Ddos attacks on the DNS server of our internet provider. They have no idea yet when they will have fixed it. It has been going on for over a week, often I can't browse the majority of sites. I hope it'll be fixed soon.

      I missed the forum and my friends (you all)! I did get some reading done though :).

  19. Our internet is having problems so I won't be able to be online much until it is fixed.

    1. Athena

      Athena

      After a couple of days of no internet and some phone calls and emails later, all seems to be working again :)!

  20. My laptop's charger isn't working so I might not be on the forum until the new one arrives. My foot is feeling a bit better.

    1. Little Pixie

      Little Pixie

      Boo, hope to see you again soon.

    2. Athena

      Athena

      It's all fixed now, I have a new charger :).

  21. I stepped into a sharp pin this morning with my bare foot, no idea where it came from but I can't stand on my foot yet :(. The pain is slowly fading away though so that's good!

      Glad it's getting better Athena. I stood on a darning needle when i was a kid & had to go for a tetanus jab so you have my sympathy as i know how it feels X

    4. Athena

      Athena

      Ouch, that sounds pretty painful too :(!
