My laptop broke a few days ago, well to be honest it broke months ago, but like Scotty with a warp coil generator I managed to keep it going way beyond reasonable expectation, now however tiz dead, totally and unequivocally dead.
I need a new one and can’t be arsed to do the research myself when I know there are better informed bods on here just itching to tell me where to get the best deal.
So, a Laptop, ish max I’m old and need a big screen to see the letters and purdy pictures. I write on it, it surf on it and play the odd game on it with a bit of music maybe. No mega image manipulation, no vast music/film library and I don’t need to carry it with me all day so it needn’t be uber-light I need something solid that will last a few years before falling to bits like the last one, a Toshiba Techra if it helps.
Many thanks.
Oh and number 1 daughter is after a notebook thingy, I fear they would be too small and fiddly for my sausage fingers, but we could just about get one each for so I have to ask about them too.

fire i think you were in a very lucky position to be able to keep your career. from my point of veiw it gave you a freedom of choice that i didn't have. i wish i could have stayed on the path i wanted to but just didn't have the choice.
i envy those who get to keep their chosen careers and still have children. so long as the kids are happy and you spend the rest of your time with them i think it's great to be able to do what you want.

Thanks Minxy was going to say the same thing.
A lot of todays problems are caused by kids where there are no parents/parent about, either when they come in from school or....when the kids are on holidays.
I cannot think of many better things than a parent being at home full time.
I realise that some parents have to work for financial reasons but....I have known people to have a child in a two parent family, and as soon as the maternity leave is finished, they go back to work and leave the baby at a nursery. Sorry that is wrong and if it is because of financial reasons they do that, then don't have kids.
How anyone can leave a baby with a nursery baffles me.

Hi Firelizard,
Just to warn you - I can talk about all things foody all day!! One question is - do you think you have a wheat intolerance or a gluten intolerance? If it's just wheat, then I know that Kellogs Cornflakes should be okay - Coco Pops have a tiny bit of wheat starch added, depending on how strict you're being about things. For main meals Rice is a saviour - and use all the different types from Risotto to wild Rice, Polenta is really good too. I make and sell various food stuffs, not that I'm trying to sell to you don't panic, but would be more than happy to mail you through some recipes I've tried that have worked and had goodfeedback from my wheat free clients, if that's any help at all.

PS: One fact I thought was interesting when I researched this a while back - apparently there is wheat in the gum on the cheaper brands of envelopes. Bizarre but True - so no more licking envelopes!!

“This woman is an absolute disgrace as a mother.
“First she has an affair with her son’s best friend, then she dumps her kids to move in with him.
“She’s now living with him while her youngest children and my kids are staying with strangers. It breaks my heart and makes my blood boil in equal measure.> snip<“Anyway, she can’t just turn up and be a mum when she likes. It is just not fair on the 

If you have an intolerance you would notice this quickly.

Quote by Theladyisaminx
My son was on a wheat free and milk diet for 3 years due to a problem he had. A well know supermarket did supply a wheat free book if you contact their head office they should send you one of all the products they store. Also chemists or health food shops are a good source for help too. I used to get a lot of his food from the chemist at the time but goods are very good at being marked these days. I remember rice cakes Yuck being a treat for him, no flavours around then.
Hope that helps a little

My best mate has an intolerance for all sorts, including wheat. I'll ask her for some recipes for you. It's not easy and she does cheat from time to time but pays for it.
She's in Japan/Singapore/Malaysia at the moment and is finding the food over there way better. She loves sushi so I dare say she's been eating a lot of that cause it agrees with her. I'll ask her for some tips for you. :mrgreen:

Someone said this to me a while ago:
'If you love someone, let them go free. If they don't come back, you never had them. If they do come back, love them forever.'
I let go :cry:
