App Addiction

Since having my iPhone I’ve been very pre-occupied with all the little apps available for it.

(No wonder my battery doesn’t last all that long, hehe)

Like the TV ads say “there’s an app for that” and it’s just about true. There are games of course but so many other things such as a dictionary, unit converter, a translator, instant messaging, radio apps and photo editing apps to name just a few.

If you use iTunes just take a look through them even if you don’t have an iPhone you’ll be amazed.

A lot of these apps are totally free and the ones that I have actually paid for are no more than a couple of pounds maximum so they don’t break the bank.

And the best bit is they are great fun!

 

So, if you have the iPhone what are your favourite apps?

Lovely Lips

I’ve always loved to wear a bit of lipgloss, nothing bright or flashy just a light tinted colour, but so many of them irritate my lips so I’ve usually gone back to the old faithful lipsalve.

A couple of weeks ago I decided to splash out a bit and bought a Clinique lipgloss. They are certainly not the cheapest but they are well known for being allergy tested and fragrance free so I thought it worth a try.

I must say I am not disappointed – it feels nice, no irritation at all, it looks nice, it lasts for ages and it has sun protection factor of 15 which is great for these sunny days!

My Personality Cluster

Your Personality Cluster is Introverted Sensing

You are: You are responsible, ethical, and trustworthy. Totally loyal, you have a sense of roots in your community. You are someone who treasures and remembers the past. Adverse to surprises, you shy away from the unknown.

What's Your Personality Cluster?

 

Hmm quite accurate I think as well..

Too Hot For Cats

Mabel has been finding it difficult to find a cool place to rest in,
well we all have really!

But at least we don't have to wear a fur coat in 30c weather!

No Condition Is Permanent

The past 4 weeks or so have been very hectic for me at home. The flat has been very full as all 3 of my very grown up kids were home.

This is probably why my mind has been pretty far away from regular blogging, which isn’t really a bad thing is it!

You may have read a few weeks ago I was really worried about having them all back at once but I must say it’s been really OK.

Yes, there has been a terrible mess, bags, shoes and clothes, you name it all over the place and nothing in it’s right place, lots of noise and stuff but I’ve tried so hard to stay calm about it and I think I’ve done well, and actually really enjoyed them being around all together!

But nothing stays the same for long. My son is moving to a little flat of his own tomorrow and one of my girls is off to stay with a friend for a few weeks. The best bit though is that both of them are going to be only about a 10 minute walk away!

So, maybe I should stop worrying about things -  as someone once said to me – No Condition Is Permanent

Swine Flu Surge

Working in a Dr's surgery I know how much the Swine flu is spreading and how fast.

Today 2 of our GP's went off sick with it.

The rest of us are left wondering who will it hit next?

In a way I hope (if I have to get it) that it happens soon as no doubt it will be worse during the winter.

So, now Dr's are no longer testing for the virus with swabs as there are just too many to keep up with.

Known contacts are no longer being offered Tamiflu for much the same reason, also it's now quite obvious this cannot be contained in particular areas such as schools, it's just already too widespread.

I'm still not worried as it is (so far) a mild illness but all the same it’s slightly concerning as it’s spreading so quickly now.

iPhone 3Gs Lovely, But C.R.A.P Battery Life!!

So, at the weekend I took the plunge and bought myself a well earned treat – a shiny new iPhone!

It’s smooth and sleek and lovely and yes rather pricey but I think I deserve it hehe

It does lot’s of things (as did my Nokia N95) but way way easier. It also does lots of things the Nokia didn’t do!

However there has to be a downside sadly and that is the dreadful battery life!!!

What’s the point of having such a super duper gadget that does everything but runs out of juice in no time at all!?!

I have no objection to charging it every night as I sleep but I am NOT happy to be without a phone half way through the day
