Today I did my sixth MOS exam. Although there are seven, either Outlook or Access is optional, so I have officially done all that is required to be a Microsoft Master Instructor.
Of course, technically I probably am not a MMI until I pay my €150 and officially register, but at least the hard work is done.
Hurrah!

APOLOGIES & ALL THAT
Apologies fans for my erratic posting again!
This is all due to my efforts to study Microsoft applications. Hoping to do my final one Friday which will leave me a bit freer to do important things like posting and writing!
I'll be back Friday.

TOFFEE AND HONEY
Toffee and Honey were sniffing around the tomato plants when I called their names, so they kindly posed for me!
Toffee thinks Honey is getting too much attention. I went out later and called Toffee, who started to come slowly over. Honey sped past her and jumped all over me, and although I ignored Honey and continued to call Toffee, Toffee turned away from me, and moved away every time I went near her. I put Honey back in her cage and managed to woo Toffee back (helped by a treat or two).
I always give Toffee prime attention, although naturally Honey gets lots too. Toffee doesn't see it that way though!
In fact, I give both of them too much attention! Pups should be banned! They are too distracting!!!!

The little pleasures of life...
Today we switched over to NTL digital TV and broadband, and I have to say it's kind of fun.
I don't watch tv much but it's nice having 60 + channels. I know, we went for the basic package, so most of those channels will not be up to much anyway, but it's still fun flicking through. Plus the advantage of getting information on each station - what's on now, what's coming up next - plus a full tv guide.
The over-enthusiastic sales person (who also put through the order before I had ordered it!) also included the digital recorder. Although it's an extra €5 per month, it's tempting to keep it. To record a programme, you simply go to the tv guide, select your programme and press ok. Couldn't be simpler!
I guess best of all, I now have 3Mb broadband (up from 1 Mb) and should no longer be constantly thrown off the air!

TO MY FELLOW NODPOTS
As you probably know, I was the winner of DNOTY 2007.
Inspired by the confidence of my fellow nodpots, I set up this blog, with the hope of living up to their expectations.
It never occurred to me to check what their expectations were.
It's never too late, so please fellow DNs, let me know what you expect from me this year!

THANKS, READERS
Thank you to all readers of this blog who kindly posted asking why wasn't I blogging.
The standard of their posts is so high that I feel that for the benefit of the world I should desist from blogging further, and allow my readers post more hilarious limericks and scary tales.
However, on the off chance my readers won't go along with this, I shall continue to post.
Anyone who hasn't done so yet, please read on the comments on my previous post - guaranteed to entertain you!
