    Could someone do me a favour and tell me that if I don't practice my typing programme right NOW they're going to kick my ass please?

    Ah jaysus, Tesco think they're doing you a favour if you order alcohol with your online shopping, they have it delivered with the security tag on it BUT they don't give the drivers anything to remove the security tags with :rolleyes: I know they're simple enough to remove but still

    Drove from Dublin to Kildare and back today (went to Kildare Village). On my journey I saw 5, yes 5 poor dead kittys on the road. Such silly creatures who just dart out and hope for the best. Probably 5 very sad owners still waiting for puss to come home.....:(:(:(:(:(

    Oh no! I know they won't deliver alcohol at certain times though.

    I'm at just over 100 wpm, 7, nearly 8 years, as a legal secretary/PA. I certainly wouldn't ladt in my current job if i couldn't type that fast.

    I got 37 on my first attempt can't remember what I got on my second attempt, I got those results using my laptop which I can type much faster on.

    On this PC I get 45wpm, haven't used this keyboard for years so not quite used to it yet.

    I really miss my laptop though :(

    Just had a text from my boyfriend asking me if I've ever watched Take Me Out. Then he says "The tide would't take some of those ones out!" :pac:

    Anyone here ever tried those new Orange Aero's? God the so delicious. I have to sitting behind me saying, dying to eat them, but need to have dinner first and it won't be cooked for a while. Boo. :( :rolleyes:

    Dying my hair copper tomorrow. Can't wait. I feel like I've such boring hair at the moment.


  • Registered Users Posts: 40,401 ✭✭✭✭x Purple Pawprints x



    51 wpm and no mistakes. My speed has gone down slightly. In my word processing exam that I did during my FETAC secretarial course my speed was 54-55 wpm. Need to do some exercises and get that back up.

    I'm lucky my arthritis is just in my knees! Although the carpal tunnel in my wrist doesn't help. :pac:
    I tried that test and got 51 WPM with 3 mistakes when I type the 'wrong' way that I'm used to. But I can barely get to 18/19 WPM when typing correctly with all the fingers on the correct keys.
    That's why I'm finding learning to type so frustrating- I'm over half my normal speed when I try and do it properly, it's too easy to cheat and go back to using the wrong fingers and speed up! :(

    73 wpm with one mistake, I guess being stuck at a computer all day has some advantages!

    Had an absolutely gigantic dinner followed by homemade choc chip cookies, I'm too stuffed to move off the couch! :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,595 ✭✭✭The Lovely Muffin


    Dinner now, finally. Dinner at midnight FFS :rolleyes:

    Prawns and mushrooms in chilli, garlic and soy sauce. Salmon in garlic, chillie, sea salt and cracked black pepper along with creamy mashed spuds. Mmm.
