Woot woot!

The new phone and DSL got connected today. As I was coming home I noticed that there was a guy doing some work on the exchange near my house. So when I got in I checked for a dial tone and it was on. Called my sister to let her know my new number (Sucks I couldn’t keep my old one and it’s one messed up dialing code!) . then decided to turn on my router to check if I had DSL. DSL light came on so I hooked up the PC lol. Very happy now as I was facing a very lonely weekend on my lonesome and with no phone or net to bug people with lol.

I did enjoy the few days I spent at my sisters too. She had Leah for the week and we had fun painting at my sis’s boyfriends new place and running around like mad people in the park. (Video coming soon :)))

She loved her hat which I tried on her to make sure it fit. It fit perfectly! If anything it’s a bit big for her! So it was a happy error.

I also tried the pinwheel jacket on her and it fits nicely but I will need a few more repeats to get it how I’d like it. The pattern is still baffling me though. Might have to just fudge it.

Note the California stitch marker I some how managed to knit into my work! Silly me =)).

Also while I’ve been at a bit of a loose end I finally sorted a curtain for the cupboard in my living room. I even managed to whip up a cushion cover too! I think I did well on my mini sewing machine though I forgot to add a new bobbin at first lol.

A few more pictures I’ve taken but not added yet. Enjoy!

I really like how that last one came out even with the window glare.

Well I now signed up with Pipex/Bulldog and they say they can connect me by November so long as everything goes without hitch. Annoyingly they have put up their service charges but oh well it’s still the cheapest, fast broadband out at the moment as I don’t need the BT line. I begrudge paying BT, who I hate, 125 quid just to connect me. So fingers crossed Pipex are in fact offering service in my area.

I actually only came online to catch up on my emails and get the pattern for the pinwheel cardigan I intend to make Leah. I have however done all that and still have time, so decided to blog. Leah is going to grow up exceedingly spoilt I think lol. We all adore her. On her birthday she seriously had way over 50 presents not including what her mom got her. Every time I see something that she would look cute in I add it to my list of “things to make Leah”. She’s soon to have competition though as quite a few friends and friends of friends are pregnant now. I wonder if she will start to feel neglected lol. Still I’m quite sure she is still the only girl. Everyone seems to be having boys right now which is a bore for me as knitting for boys is boring. I like adding the flowers and frilly bits. I wonder how hard it would be to knit a tonka truck…

I’ve abandoned the cushion cover. I hate the new colour. It has this purplish tint to it which just doesn’t match at all. The other tan is a warmer colour. Maybe I will felt it and see what can be done with it after that.

The space bar on this PC is dodgy so excuse words that are stuck together that I didn’t notice haha. I type very lightly so forget “stomp” hard on the spacebar when it comes to making spaces.

I’m bored and cold now so gonna go home. We’re having a movie night so I should go clean etc. Can’t do too much cos I injured my wrist but it should warm me up!

It is actually turning out to be a lovely autumn but on the coldside.

Anywho byes!

Ok after phoning my ISP and them assuring me I’d been moved to Pipex even after I told them I knew of no such thing the bloody basts cut me off last night. I’m really annoyed! aargh If I knew I had to find a new ISP I would have done while I still had the net working making life a whole lot simpler. Especially when I’m sick! Luckily it’s Thursday so I can hopefully get something sorted today and possibly on it’s way to being connected on Monday.

Oh and another bizarre and rather annoying thing happened last night. I got a random phone call from an ex of mine who just dissapeared. Apparently his uncle called him back to Italy which is why he just dissapeared…

So all the phones in Italy were broken? I was kinda sleep befuddled and think I said something along the lines of “Sod off I’m sleeping” to which I think he said I’ll call you back tomorrow (!!!). Dunno why life can’t be uncomplicated for a little while. Pretty please? With a strawberry on top? (I’m allergic to cherries =)) )

At least I’ll have more time for crafting. I’ve been dropping heavy hints to my aunt that I want a sewing machine so I’m hoping I may get one for my birthday. Not long now. Speaking of birthdays I still haven’t booked the venue :O If I don’t do it soon I’m gonna be in big trouble. Less than 4 weeks to go. Problem is they only open from 8pm so by then I’m usually watching Hollyoaks and The War at Home. Then on various days, Brothers and Sisters, Ugly Betty, Skins and Scrubs! That distracts me from making the call and since we have taken to going out for drinks in Stratford now (More central) I haven’t even been down that way. Well, actually I have, but on a Tuesday the only day they’re not open aargh . I’m going to stop waffling now and phone BT for a new line.

Wish me luck peoples! (*)

The whole time I’ve had this blog it has had no real name. It started off as “Diary of a star” but I decided that sounded a bit pretentious and people might be dissapointed only to find a blog about little old me.

So then I moved on to “Mah Bloggings” but I got a load of stick for that name! No one understood it. It comes from the slang way us brits sometimes say “my” and it amused me. Sadly most did not agree.

And so when I moved servers I decided to just go with “Starry/”. Which evolved into “Starry’s world” but I still don’t feel the name fits. I’d like an abstract name that doesn’t really mean anything as my blog isn’t about any one thing (other than me). Does anyone have any suggestions? My domain comes up for renewal soon so should like to think of something before then so I can get the multi-buy discount.
