I hope this makes up for the lack of a childish card that I should have brought you (at least in some small way) :(
I’ll do it today - I promise!
I apologise profusely for my complete lameness.
If it’s not actually your birthday then please disregard this message…

So when we were on holiday in Keswick (photo’s to come I promise!), the cottage we were staying in had a small dishwasher - probably because their hot water wasn’t really very hot. Emma has always been against dishwashers as she never believed that they cleaned things properly - but after using the one on holiday we’re kind of convinced they clean stuff pretty good.
Hence the (environmental) dilemma
For:
- Saves me doing it
- Cleans stuff a lot hotter than we can
Against:
- Possibly uses more water - contentious point as it’s hard to measure how much water we’re using when we do it by hand - but even the most efficient use at least 12 litres
- More electricity usage - though we wouldn’t use the hot water so much if we had one as the shower heats it itself
So I’m stuck. Opinions please! Also feel free to add pros/cons :)

I’m away in Keswick this week so this might be all you get. Though we are taking [em's eeePC] with us so you never know :)

Emma brought an ASUS eeePC the other week from [Toys 'R' Us]. It’s amazing - I mean just look how small it is!

What we’ve tried:
- Skype video calling - yes it has a built in webcam and microphone, you have to get an update from ASUS for the video bit, but it works
- [BBC iPlayer]
- Linux games!!
- My Canon 400D!!
The only problems we had were with Skype windows being too big for the screen (when you’re adding contacts etc). But if you hold ALT and click on any window you can move it wherever you like regardless of window or screen edges :)
