    Hi

    Not sure if it helps but have you considered software that you use on your computer that uses your voice to type not your hands?

    I have one called Via Voice but there are many others that are cheaper. It helps with RSA for me. Bit fiddly to set it up but good once you get the hang of it!

    Hope you are getting better and feeling happier.

    Best wishes

    GH :D

    Many thanks Ghost hunter for thinking of me and for your helpful suggestion. :A

    I am hoping that now I can start to use the keyboard to exercise the fingers and stretch the tendons I won;t need to pursue the voice recgonition software..although have to admit I was desperate for something 4 weeks ago and couldn;t even find the programme incorporated with Vista :confused:

    So sorry to hear about your RSI.....hope things are improving for you.

    You are welcome to join us on Night Owls or daily chat if you haven't already discovered us :D

    Big hugs

    HOORAH!!


    :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    A chance cold call from a senior person at Barclays Corporate this morning (regarding my work with healthcare companies).....and........3 hours later my mortgage is reinstated and my drawdown arranged.....

    Let's all give the very nice man a rather large drink.....what an :A bless him.

    :T :T :T :T :T :T :T :T :T :T :T :T :T



    Now..should I just set light to this house and get on with it rather than waiting for the final disaster no 5 to happen before the 19th July....at least then it would be under my control :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:



    For those of you who know..I spoke to Ampersand yesterday during her brief trip back to UK....MOT and I will be posting on Ampersand thread later with some info for you all.

    Off to Goodwood Festical of Speed tomorrow courtesy of ...you're not going to belive this.....Barclays (Corporate) :D:D (My ex boss has just started working for them and had rung to invite me on tuesday...if Mr Hot Shot hadn;t rung today I would have been bending her ear tomorrow ;) ...) Looks like it's going to be wet over there...but never mind...we'lll just find the nearest champagne tent........I don;t care becuase all that matters is I can pay the builders this month Yippee!! :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:


    Oh....And just to let everyone know....
    IT'S MY BIRTHDAY ON SATURDAY!! :eek: :eek: :D


    Hugs to all...will be phoning a couple of people after I've fed the pigs. Will post on Ampersands thread after 10pm probably.

    Cheers all.:beer: ..life is looking up....hope it's the same for y'all.


    Hugs
