I had a gameboy. I think that it's somewhere in my parents attic.
Yes I do remember. If you use a fax machine the older ones make the same sound.

Also Beckie you were lucky having 5 channels. I had 3 and a half channels. I say half because I never had channel 4 only s4c. There were very few channel 4 / English programmes on s4c and if they were on they were either on after 10 pm or days later. Or not at all. At other times it was Welsh language programming. It wasn't until the year 2000 I saw channel 4 for the first time because my parents got sky. So programmes you saw as a kid I never got to see. We were too remote in Wales to get channel 5 until it launched on sky.

I quite like the wii. Chels lent me hers with the wii fit board. Can't beat Mario Kart though!!
I think I had Simpson cluedo at some point as well. Mario kart is the best!

Ah the memories!
Ah that takes me back

I remember it very well. Even the very mention of it has the dial tone playing in my head.

I am waiting for a parcel. It's coming via a courier so who knows when it will turn up. It's very windy and rainy today so I am glad of an excuse not to go out. I hate the wind because it's impossible to watch the telly because the dish gets knocked around too much. My cat hates the wind because she meows constantly and does my head in. I think she's telling the wind off!

It's pissing it down with rain here!
Luckily I did all my shopping yesterday so I can just sit here with tea and blankets watching the rain out of the window :)
I'm fine! Totally fine. I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky, 'cause really, I'm fine!
My parcel has arrived. It's terrible here too Beckie. It's been dark all day too.

The rains bad here as well plus thunder so secretly glad one appointment in town got cancelled and rearranged and my CPN has agreed to meet at house not town as planned.

It's windy too which makes it worse. My cat is doing my head in because she won't shut up. I need to go to the bin but I am procrastinating.

It stopped raining a couple of hours ago. Still rather cold!
Manged to write a presentation for English tomorrow. I HATE speaking in front of people but I'm going to have to suck it up! It's only a 5-10 minute presentation so not too bad.
I've written it about epilepsy. Any opportunity to spread awareness!
I'm fine! Totally fine. I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky, 'cause really, I'm fine!
It's raining here still. It seems to be raining worse and the wind is still the same. I still haven't gone out.
