    Mine are showing the correct time - have you checked your settings to see if they they are on BST or GMT?

    Where abouts do I find this? I've looked under settings couldn't see anything about time :confused:

    Ooh, excellent idea! Who would you get to play the part of you?

    I'd like someone like Sandra Bullock to play the part of me and I'd like to see her make the giant jaffa cake as her screen test please! :rotfl:

    i think we will all have to move in together and make that frugal commune for it to be a really good story

    hmm i think i would have kirsten dunst, she would make a good quirkly jumble-bee

    what will her screen test be? maybe we can send her into a real jumble sale and see how she fares...

    OOOH fabulous!!! That would make great TV! :rotfl:Can I have Helen Hunt scrubbing the rat cages as me? Except I am not that skinny nor that blond.

    Just to let you all know that I am ok. What has happened has happened for a reason and has helped me enormously to put things into perspective. Also my surrogate frugal Mum has helped me a lot ;).

    I have taken part today to numerous competitions where the prize is a car so please keep your fingers crossed for me (I did participate for one where the prize was strawberries and champagne, couldn't resist :p).

    I am hungry and I still have lots to do so better log off. I have been naughty today and bought AGAIN ready made pizza AND chocolate. Will leave purse home tomorrow - promise.

    Night night all,

    Marru

    Can you see time in the bottom right hand corner of your screen? If you can then double click it. It will show you date and time properties. Choose from there Time zone and make sure that it shows GMT: Greenwich Mean Time and then that you have the box Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes ticked.

    If you can't see the time on your screen or you have different system then sorry I can't help.

    Mmmm think it would have to be Dawn French for me:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: in the kitchen up to her ears in rhubarb crumbles, sounds about right:D

    The jaffa cake scene and the hot tub scene would be classics:rotfl: :rotfl:
