It's funny how little things make you happy, isn't it. One of the tester guys in our office had a great keyboard on his spare computer which has an infrared mouse attached. He doesn't use that computer very often, and yesterday while discussing something else, I expressed envy of this piece of kit as my mouse drives me nuts, always getting it's wire caught on the monitor and so on. And he said "Well, why not have this one." So this morning, I've swapped them over and I've got my pretty new keyboard. I am way sad.

Of course, now I have to deal with Word 97, so I'd better take my pleasures where I can!

I'm not going to win my bet with my mum or anything, but I have had an achievement with the dieting. I have gone down half a dress size, if you like. Once upon a time M&S used to be somewhere which had generous sizing but somewhere at the start of their trend downhill they reset themselves so that now they're pretty small. So I'm pretty pleased that I've gone down from a Evans size 16 (pretty generous) to a M&S size 16 (the equivalent of an Evans 14 if they did them). Not bad. And when work calms down and I can skate more (I can do even better).
