Can anyone help??

Here's a question for all you techies out there. I found a new template that I want to use on this blog. I've downloaded to my computer & then tried to upload it to my HTML template. It gave me some error message.

I then switched to classic blogger mode & inserted the new template that way, which worked fine, the only trouble is that in the classic version, the customize page elements feature is not available, which I really need. I tried upgrading back to Beta blog, but I had to chose a new template, & it won't let me use the new one I've got.

Does anyone know how to use a new template in Beta blogger?? I'll be your best friend forever. You can either leave any suggestions in the comments section of this post, or send me an email. Thanks.

The joke's on you

A flat start to the day

Have you ever tried to use something with a flat battery?

I had downloaded an MP3 off the net this morning intending to put it onto my MP3 player & listen to it on the way to work.

I got up ten minutes earlier to allow time for it to download & then copied the file to my MP3 player. I then put the MP3 player in my bag & headed out the door.

When I arrived at work, I got myself organized, took the MP3 player out of my bag, put the earphones in & pressed the ON button. Nothing happened. I tried it a couple more times without any success & realized the battery must be flat. No I didn't have any spares!!

I was quite disappointed, because I was looking forward to listening to a radio programme that I got from the Internet, but these things happen sometimes & life must go on.

Has that ever happened to you, or do you make sure you have spare batteries with you??

I've replaced the battery, & now look forward to listening to it tomorrow.

Wacky Wednesday

A roller coaster is one of those adventure rides that you might go one once a year at the local royal show, right.

Apparently a man wanting to reclaim is old Guinness World Record, after it was taken off him, took up the challenge of riding on a roller coaster for 7 days straight.

After 7 days on the ride, he is said to be going strong, & not ready to get off in a hurry. He wants to make sure his record is never broken.

Oh by the way, officials say he is allowed off the ride for 5 minutes every 2 hours for a comfort stop.

I don't know about you, but one ride on a roller coaster is more than enough for me.

Life seems too busy

Is it me, or does life just seem to be always busy?

It seems like there's always something to do, somewhere to go, people to see. Yesterday (Saturday), Jo & I did not spend half an hour at home all day. We went to the shops in the morning to get stuff in preparation for the rest of the day. I was intending to get a haircut, but that didn't happen because I didn't even have time to wait in the queue.

We went home, fed & changed Chloe & then headed out the door again. It was my nieces 7th birthday & we were going to see her for lunch. It was lovely to see her & the family, but we left there about 1:30pm & drove home again, fed & changed Chloe again, had a brief sit down before heading out the door once for to go to a friends wedding.

When we finally got home about 8:30 last night, we put Chloe to bed & sat down in front of the telly & put on a movie. That was short lived, as I soon fell asleep in my chair. We headed off to bed about 9:30pm.

Have you had a day like that lately? It's one thing after another. When you've got a 3 month old baby it's even harder.

After yesterday's efforts, we decided to have a rest day today. The thought of getting up & heading off to church this morning didn't really seem too appealing. Sunday is a day of rest is it not??

A sigh of relief

If my working week could be represented by an open book, at the end of this week I would've closed the book shut, never to be opened again.

My job as a courier driver is usually fairly straight forward & simple. I might have a busy or bad day every now & then, but not every day as it has been this last week. I've had extra work to do every day, & have been home late most evenings.

Some reason this week, come the end of the day, there's always an urgent job to be picked up that must be delivered today, not overnight, as our system is supposed to operate.

The last couple of days our air freight from Sydney has not arrived on time, so due to no fault of our own, we ended up with two days of freight to deliver in one day. I managed to finish the week & got home at a reasonable hour, so now a rough week behind me, I can have a couple of days off & look to the week new ahead. It's gonna be great.
