I've been a little pre-occupied of late and here's the reason why... I've got an ipod! A lovely green ipod. Sigh. Now I've been wondering for about a year if I should get one but as most of the family want one - or should I say need one - my want was not a priority. I had decided 18 months ago that I wanted something else more (all will be revealed on my birthday on Tuesday!) and was putting my hopes into getting that. Well, I have got that for my birthday (yay, it's sitting in my wardrobe, waiting..) and as I was buying Anth one for Christmas (yes, he knows as he chose it) I threw caution to the wind (not like me when anything costs over £20!) and bought one for me as well, over the internet. I had decided to keep it for Christmas but when it arrived it came in a see-through package (once I had open the outer parcel) so the surprise of never having seen a green one was dashed. It sat on my table for a while and I enjoyed looking at it, until last Sunday when I decided I should get a head start with putting my 27 made up CDs of favourite songs - plus all my regular CDs on it.
This has taken me all week and I still haven't finished...but I am so pleased that I have started now and not have waited, as Christmas is a busy time for our computer.
I have even made 3 little bags from samples of fabric to carry it around in! Sorry the quality of the photo is not very good. The middle one was a old tray cloth and the 2 others were from Elanbach a company run by Bernard Ashley (the late Laura's husband). My ipod nano is so small it's hard to believe it can store so much and the sound quality is fantastic.
So, Christmas has come a little early for me, but you want hear me complaining!
