Jumping through hoops

Still sneezing, coughing and spluttering which has made me just a touch intolerant right now.

The main culprit is on the net, but on reflection there are 2.

Adverts that pop up in articles that I want to read GRRRRRRR, I just end up leaving the site, fuming. 

The ONE that sticks in my craw (strange saying but you know what it means) is when clicking onto something that catches your eye just means that you are led by the nose onto a merry go round. Having to jump from here to there and back again to get to your goal.

I had it happen a few moments ago, looking for a particular pattern I clicked onto a web site, found the pattern and clicked....another screen opened and clicked....... another screen opened and clicked another blah blah blah.....and had a hissy fit and gave up.

All that sounds a bit disjointed, and that is just how I feel after 15 minutes of jumping through hoops.

Of course it could be my total lack of understanding of the net, I spot something on Pinterest and  click only to jump....straight onto the merry go round.

I gave up and my brain has just about sorted a pattern out for me, result.

On a more mundane subject,the cold must be on the wane despite my symptoms as the bathroom has been blitzed and there is a load of washing pegged out. Dinner is the fusion soup and tomorrow,s has been planned. Nadiya Hussain.s Ploughmans cheese and pickle tart. I will be making 2, one for us and one for W.

The sitting room has had a good tidy up, mostly my crafting stuff from the weekend, and all is neat and pleasing to the eye.

Both dogs have had a good walk and now I am off to make the pastry and grate cheese while it has a little rest in the fridge.

My reward will be an hour on the lappy, reading posts, reading and replyng to comments and leaving a few of my own here and there.

    1. I would cross my fingers but it would be difficult to knit or sew.

  2. I am glad that your cold is getting better.

    Oh, and as far as clicking sites and having window after window open, I am of the same mind as you. Usually I get pig headed and keep right on clicking until.....I find there is no free pattern (though many are said to be), just a paid one. Not that, that isn't right, just don't say "free" to get more clicks on your site.

    God bless.

  3. Oh I hate those pop-ups too! You've got a lot done already. I'm having a hard time sticking to any one thing this morning, but have washed a couple loads of clothes. :)

    1. It is very good, this was the 4th time that I have made it but i don't cook the pastry case for as long as she says. I love salad and usually have the makings in the fridge. Now I want your dinner.

    1. These cold germs seem to be doing the rounds, I think that my grand nephews from Norfolk started it all off. Most of my family over there went down with it and then it got me.

  6. Somehow I've registered with Pinterest but have no idea how and it's driving me nuts. Haven't found a way yet of unsubscribing either.

    What really gets my goat recently is when you google a company name and click on it when it comes up at the top of the list and no matter how quick I am at clicking on it a number of different sites appear above and I always end up in another place from the one I wanted. Very annoying!!

  7. I hate all that clicking too. OH says I have no patience whatsoever but I'm fine with just a couple of clicks. Any more then I forget what I was looking for and get really ratty and give up :/ My cold is still lingering too. It has lasted well over 2 weeks and I still feel bunged up. Hope you feel better soon Pam.
