Did you notice that Swaymyway.com went down to a google PR 2, ouch *clutches heart* :thumbsdown::throb: It was a PR 5 before, that’s quite the drop, I wasn’t at all surprised to see it go down as I have abandoned this blog in recent months and I was reading about how a lot of blogs with paid ads on them had taken a hit, but a drop of 3 is bigger than I was expecting. Oh well, I won’t lose any sleep over it 
Can you guys believe it’s November already? No-bloody-vember, yowser time flies. That means it’s been 3 years now since I quit smoking, it doesn’t feel like it was that long ago - not that I still crave or anything - it just doesn’t feel like it’s been so long :nosmoking:
I am so glad that I quit before the smoking ban came in in the UK though, a) because I don’t like being told what to do, so if I’d still been a smoker when every one else was quitting/being told to quit, I’d have carried on just to be awkward and b) standing on my own in doorways to have a puff does not sound like my idea of fun - I’d probably rather opt to never leave my house again.
Gav has taken Saturday night off work and we are going to go to a big firework display for bonfire night, yay :fiery: It’s my favourite night of the year, pretty much, I’d say I will try and take lots of pictures…but I probably won’t, my camera on my phone is crappy and I don’t feel like taking poppas expensive digital camera. But there’s bound to be loads over the whole weekend so I am sure I will get the opportunity to take some pictures from the comfort of my own bedroom

Another update on the elliptical, it went back without problem and I have got my full refund/wasn’t charged for delivery etc YAY. But, in the time it took to process the return, the replacement machine I was going to order has gone up by £25, ouch, the thing is I do still want it and it’s still at a price I can afford (thanks Bingo!!), but I don’t want to order it on the principle of the thing…why should I have to pay an extra £25 because they sent me a dodgy first machine, and took so long to process my refund? I really do need to get one though, since that went back I have worked out a total of…twice…for a total of…1 hour…pathetic, I usually work out 5 days a week for at least 40 minutes at a time, but without a machine of some description I just don’t seem to be able to motivate myself to do any thing, grr.
Erm. Yeah. Done.

Horaayy..there are 8 comment(s) for me so far ;)
It’s been 3 years already! Damn I thought it was last year….time goes by so fast these days. And no, I can’t believe it is November either. I had finally gotten used to the idea that it was October and now that is gone.
Where do you check your Google pagerank? I know mine seems to have gone down to 2 (it was 4). O_O I wonder why?
They actually banned smoking all over the UK? Or just in public places? Because that’s what they’ve done here in The Netherlands (ban it in public places). I think it’s good for non-smokers (like me), but it’s indeed good that you quit smoking before that.
LOL, EVERYBODY’s PR went down… I guess it’s something that Google just implemented or something? I have noo idea, but I’ve been hearing soo many people complain about it! LOL.
Anyways, yep, time flies by sooo fast! And congrats on being 3 years sober(hehe, I don’t think that’s the correct word, though)!
Glad to hear that the return went well! =)
My PR dropped down to a 2 as well. I was at a 4, and it was semi-disappointing. But, meh, I don’t really think I deserved my PR anyway. I do have a suspicion, however, that it’s because Google just dropped all people who do PayPerPost like hot potatoes.
My brain still thinks it’s August. September 5 at best. XD
They banned smoking in public places in the UK? Wow. They’re struggling to ban smoking in restaurants here in the States.
It’s good that you were able to return the elliptical with no fuss from the store. It’s so annoying when stores try to give you crap about taking their shoddy merchandise back.
Hmm…most companies usually say that you have to order the replacement before the refund is processed in order to avoid price increases/stock selling out, but if they didn’t say that then they may probably give you the price it was the date you bought the machine that you returned.
Have fun on bonfire night! I wish we had stuff like that in America.
Some of these spam protection questions are too hard for me, lol. It even told me I suck at maths!
I can’t believe you exercise that often. I walk half an hour to work most days, and back to on certain days so I refuse to do any excersise on principle! lol
Bonfire night is my favorite too, did you go to the big fireworks display at Markeeton Park in Derby? I wish I could of gone as I am in Derby at the minute! Neeever mind!
Everyone with ’sponsored links’ went down, even people who just blogroll - google’s penalizing anyone who doesn’t use no follow links. I’m assuming it’s your ads, I’ve gone down 1 PR level, which annoys me, lol.
Hopefully things will pick up for all of us, eh?
