A bit of a catch up

Good heavens seems like I have been on the computer all morning. Hang on... I have been on the computer all morning!!! I am so glad to be done for now with messing around, transferring and deleting stuff. Anyway, time for a bit of a catch up which I shall do in list form.

The school holidays are over. Simon goes back to school tomorrow. The time has just flown by and although we have done quite a bit there are loads of things left undone. We had planned days out but they  didn't happen. The garage however has progressed.

 

 

 

 

We had my Dad with us for 2 days last week and I think that he really enjoyed himself. He liked seeing his 4 great grandchildren and it was lovely to see as he is really engaging with them now.

We had several family picnics during the holidays and I have a lot of photos that I will post shortly. Posting photos is not an easy thing here. It is OK putting them in the body of a blog but albums are a whole different ball game where you have to faff around with another site. Pain in the you know where.

We did get around to cleaning the old grave stones of Simon's ancestors and again I have a load of photos. To post.

I think I am going to open another Blogger site for my Recipes. What a pain that it is necessary to have all these different sites. I know they link well with tabs to go to them but ...well it isn't Multiply is it!

I am currently waiting for Simon who is putting a window in the garage. We are supposed to be going to Tesco for food shopping. They close at 4pm as it is a bank holiday here in the UK.

I know a secret............. May be able to tell soon.......

Hmm, what else? There were loads of things that I thought of earlier but my mind has gone blank. Really think I should go and chase up Simon. I need to do the shopping today as I will not have access to the car once he is back at school. The chap that he car shared with was made redundant and as there is no one else that lives out this way, I will be car less during the week which could be difficult at times.

Back later or tomorrow and will hopefully get some of those photos up. With Simon back at school normal service will hopefully resume!

Side bar stuff from Multiply

On Multiply we had a side bar which we could fill with "stuff"  I had quite a lot of stuff and as a reminder to myself I am posting some of them here.  It would seem that it is not really possible here to customise to the same extent.

First off I had an eternal flame.  It reminds me of my Mum and Rosie and Sandy.

I also had a memorial for Rosie.

Below that I had a clock, a moon phase widget and a cluster map to show where my visitors were coming from.

Underneath those I had daily clicker buttons.  You know the ones where you click once a day and a donation is made to a charity.  I had The breast cancer site and the animal rescue site.  I wish that I could have them on blogger

I had a blogversary button.......

Then I had these ........

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I really, really wish that I could have them on a side bar here.  Maybe someone can tell me how to do that?

Finishing up

The entry below is the final one that I will make on Multiply.   I am getting everything pretty well set up here on Blogger and I think this will be my new home although at the moment I shall keep Blogster updated too.  I just hope that this will be a happy new place to lay my hat. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well I have finally moved every last blog from here over to my Blogger site. I have also moved all of the doggies blogs and closed down their site. I shall gradually be deleting all of my albums. I have no need to download them as they are all stored on my own hard drive and also in the cloud.

I shall take down the images in my side bar over the next couple of days and place them on Blogger. Then I shall begin to delete entries from here starting with the oldest first.

I will continue to cross post from Blogger for those few of you still here. I will do so until the end. However I will not be using this site to read or comment on blogs. I know where most of you are. I have contacted everyone.

Should you wish to find me my primary blog will be at: http://pinkduchessofmorton.blogspot.co.uk/

Sadly it seems that we have all gone to different places and I cannot keep up with checking on half a dozen different blog sites so inevitably I will lose contact with some of you. If you are one of them, well it was nice knowing you and sharing bits of our life stories. I hope that you find a nice blog site and that new friends will come along and join you. Who knows we may meet up somewhere else in the future.

As always...... I wish you enough.
