Hi I'm so useless at keeping up a blog but im going to try. Just been on to Apple support - My macbook battery is faulty - Apple is replacing it under Warranty. I can't believe it's the third one I've had in 2 years !!! However a must say Apple have fantastic customer support. Today is the big day for the iphone and I'm quite excited about the wwdc keynote (5 hours to go as I type this) I wonder if I'll get a new iphone before we go to the USA in two weeks? I'm shooting a Limo (Hummer) tonight so I'm hoping the weather will stay good. I'm still over the moon the ducks won the playoffs and what a way to beat the Tigers - a last second penalty shot. Well done John Skelly infact all the boys played really well. 2 Weeks tomorrow until we leave for Philadelphia and New York- I'm really looking forward to this trip but ive got quite a lot of stuff to organise before I go :(  Â
