Default how many of you...

get acussed of being a computer cabbage for spending so much time sat reading,writing on this forum...
I try to pass it off as purely "research type stuff darling" as Im the one whos supposedly in control of operations on this front (which is questionable if I try to ring addelaide on Aussie Day ...DOH...!) Although I have to say it has been a great help so not to knock it on the info front at all...far from it...but he has come in and read the forums over my shoulder to know it isnt all immigration questions...

I just wondered if any one else gets this type of slack...WBB got to be a prime candidate...or does he only do this stuff in work time...

Peppi,

For a few days I have been suffering the over the shoulder syndrome "you can't say that" and "you should say this".

Got the better of me in the end so I set up a profile for the wife(Bix da Boss) and told her "now you can say what you want and leave me alone".

So that's how you solve the problem - or is it ?

In her very first session she has dropped 11 postings onto an unsuspecting Expats.

What have I let loose ?

Ah eBAY.

The secret is to get them to sell something.

Once they have had the thrill of seeing their item bid for and concluding a sale - well it's like fighting fire with fire.

They will be ransacking your house and selling everything they can but it will make the move to OZ easier and cheaper !!

I seem to spend a lot of time getting poked in the shoulder, and then hearing the words "you know what you should have said......"

I just get the boss looking over my shoulder...well, trying to at least. However, I am very quiet at work at the moment and she did tell me to 'amuse myself' while it is so quiet....I rest my case

Peppi dis is da BOSS here!

Why should he have all the fun!!
First time since we've had the PC's (10+ yrs) that I've actually sat down and used one for more than 2 hrs - unlike other members of my family who sit there all day and night

And - unlike him I won't be posting any more messages after this one for days as just haven't got the time being a WOMAN
Have to look at ebay instead!!!

I feel withdrawal symptoms already....in keeping with tradition (and because I am out partying the night before) I am not spending the night at home, but in a motel with my mate. Hence, I may not be able to get to a computer from Friday lunchtime onwards........ARRRGHHH!!!! Anyone got a laptop they can lend me?

I get the comment around bedtime "perhaps you wouldn't get so many headaches if you spent less time on the PC."

I'm doing research! This is our future! Somethings are more important than others ...
