Nearly Half Way through January already
Yup....time is flying by, as usual.

The court case got bumped from the 14th of Jan, which sucks. But we're still going up on the 18th to sort out a rental - just hope it doesn't take more than a week to do so.

We have plenty of places lined up, so we should strike it lucky with one of them. This time I go loaded with references and credit checks to satisfy the pickiest of landlords....

My wonderful cousin from the UK, over here for a few weeks, bought me the hardware to enable me to set up Skype on my puter...so...I'm on skype now!!! I have a webcam eyeball looking at me, and a microphone/earphone thingy to handle the talking part. The software was free, (21mb dowloaded from http://www.skype.com) and it means I can talk to my cousin when he gets back to the UK and see his mug up on the screen at the same time.......cool.

I'm sure Skype will become more popular when people realise how easy, and relatively inexpensive it is to set up.....only took me half a hour from opening the box to testing the speakers...piece of cake.

If you are on skype and want me to add you as a contact, send me a message.....

Hope everyone is having a positive start to the new year.

I'm still working on finishing two fics on my 'need to get done' pile......but might take a little longer with this week away up north coming up.
