You just have to love 'em.

Last Friday, my daughter and I went shopping in Naracoorte. 
A certain young lady, namely my nearly four year old grand daughter, came with us. 
I have taken great pains to impress upon the children that, as I have been designated Nan, as opposed to Grandma, I REFUSE to answer to Nanna,It has taken lots of insistabce and persistance on my part, to get them to accede to my wish. 
It has finally paid off.
On the way home, W wanted to ask me something and said in a sing song way, "Nanny" Her mother sputtered, "Nanny??" I said," I am not a goat." To which W replied, "Yes you are." Then she repeated the "Nanny". Her mum and I were laughing so hard we never did find out what W wanted. I suspect W had a cheeky grin on her face, as I could detect it in her voice even though I could not turn around to see.

How to get somfing for nuffing

First of all, you need to have a great friend, who is looking out for you. I have the great good fortune to have such a friend. [No names, no pack drill. She knows who she is]
I have been playing Bejewelled Blitz on Face Book for some time now, and recently, they have said the Bejewelled 3 is available. 
I went in to the computer shop on Tuesday, and asked if they could see if they could obtain it for me. I foolishly said, I did not care what it cost, then thought better of it and asked the lass to let me know before ordering it.  Later that day, she sent me a SMS to say it would cost $30.00 I could have downloaded it onto my hard drive, but I do not know how . I sent a text back and said that would be OK. I told my daughter just after that and she said I should tell them to basically, put it where the sun don't shine. She said the Pop Cap games are not usually over $20.00
Last evening, my good friend came around, and she was full of glee. She was clutching a games CD Rom, and anyone would have thought she had found the greatest treasure on Earth. LOL She and her son had journeyed to Naracoorte . as her son had wanted to see if he could purchase a particular game for his X box.[I think]
While in the shop, my friend saw the said game, and as it was under $20.00, she bought it.
She was so pleased with herself, and offered to let me load it on my PC, and not a red cent changed hands. I am not prone to looking gift horses in the mouth.
