We're trying our best to get down to the essentials. I finally managed my half of the basement, but the workbench area is off limits to me!

I'm pretty decisive, so by the time I get to the store, I've already done the research and know exactly what I want. I'm ready to buy. DH has a different approach. He wants to try several spots to find the best "deal" and to "think" about it. I'm better off shopping alone---especially if the purchase is for me. Have fun with your new computer---very exciting. I'm due for an upgrade myself!Barbara Eadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05428834142056450340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-35693996690987429552015-11-17T08:34:58.393+00:002015-11-17T08:34:58.393+00:00Another family with technology issues here....we n...Another family with technology issues here....we need a new printer....we've needed one for ages....but have never yet been able to come out of a shop with just the right one [though possibly they don't actually make it!!].<br />Have a good week.scrappyjackyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11761068895383717904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-73051593972928795932015-11-17T07:31:20.685+00:002015-11-17T07:31:20.685+00:00Ah yes, I recognise the laptop scenario.

And yes a very subdued weekend of not knowing what the average person can do to try to change things apart from just keeping on keeping on.

Hoping therell be a photo of you with it before long, too. Your lovely description of the Room of Evolvement made me think of my Aunt Lily's Return Room (at the turn of the stairs) which was full of all kinds of bits and pieces and into which you could just about squeeze to play the old organ inside the door!

The back of the house rooms have too much light, so I struggle not to cast a shadow (windows on two sides!) and the front of the house rooms are in perpetual shade. The bathroom has decent(ish) light but isn't big enough to get a good photo in. I bought the last laptop. I understand a bit about the technology and then went for a mid-priced one, don't ask me why... I think it is what my Mum always did.Louise Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13860243771854577774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-24545030561931096972015-11-16T18:03:36.294+00:002015-11-16T18:03:36.294+00:00I'm happy to hear that you got that new laptop...I'm happy to hear that you got that new laptop. I am finally enjoying mine. I think we have all the bugs worked out. Rob loves technology and so the decision goes a bit easier. If not we would be relying on our Lisa for help. It must be hard for you with this tragedy so close. You are right that all we can do is go on living our lives. I have to say that it seemed weird for me to be posting a frivolous yarn sale post when such serious stuff had just happened.
