Thank you people!

Bit of a rubbish day as it is my working in London day, and I have meetings scheduled from noon to 4pm.
However I've already treated myself to a pain au chocolat, and will shortly be buying a nice baguette to have for my lunch during the first meeting smile.gif Maybe I'll see if there is any other cake too fruitcake.gif

Actually, the first meeting should be fun, I am due to present some slides which I am being trained on the content of in the 3-4pm meeting rolleyes.gif (Plus, rubbish as the noon-2pm meeting is, everyone else in said meeting is either in Canada [7-9am] or Singapore [7-9pm] - so I think I may have got the best of a selection of bad options!!)

Edit: Gah! Deli bar won't make baguettes/sandwiches until noon...

Happy Birthday. Get everyone to sing to you in the meetings. Oh and buy you more cakes.

Well it all worked out in the end. I snuck out of the first meeting to get lunch, only to get to the canteen as the last portion of what I wanted was being served to the person ahead of me in the queue (at 13.10!!) So back over to the sandwich bar to get a bacon and brie baguette made, which I zapped in the microwave and nommed.
Other meetings OK, for the last one I got asked if I could use my laptop to project, I said fine but I was leaving by 4pm latest so they'd have no visual after that - no problem with my manager or colleagues as it turned out smile.gif We told the presenter so we finished at 15.50, what a star (two other people wanted to leave on time today too!)

Got home, husband made me a lovely dinner, and then I had presents. A t-shirt with recorders on biggrin.gif and an iPad 2 ohmy.gif which I have switched on and it has said it has a problem and won't activate sad.gif All the online help seems to be for when it goes wrong at the next step, it assumes you can get through set-up in one piece, whereas mine connects to wifi then just "computer says no".
So I shall be phoning my nearest Apple shop tomorrow to see if I should visit them, or John Lewis where it came from (or I might just take the afternoon off and go to Cambridge - as JL and the Apple shop are in close proximity. Though I have visions of JL giving me a new one, me getting home, and that one not working either...)

Edit: haha, grumpy husband. "They're not cheap, you expect them to switch on at least!" except with a few ####s in there too biggrin.gif

A bit disappointing about the iPad - no wonder your hubby was grumpy. I hope you can get it sorted fast and start enjoying what should have been a great present.

Full marks to OH for the dinner. The day mine does that I shall probably expire from shock! biggrin.gif

Happy birthday for yesterday....hope you manage to get the Ipad sorted out - and yes, I would get it out the box in the shop to make sure!!!
