    Oh hello ladies :). I'm ok I just like to be the centre of attention :) Isnt that all men? Maz, personally I dont like adapting the mouse pad on a laptop for things other than left right up down and double tap. You can use the Page Up and Page Down buttons to scroll up and down. You should be able to right click on your mouse icon in your system intray (icons near the clock in the bottom right of the screen). Failing that go to Control Panel and click on the Mouse Icon and you should be able to adjust the options to suit.

    Thanks, i don't really like it either, but it seemed to be doing it yesterday and day before without my asking it, and since i got used to it, i wondered where it had now gone..... TBH i prefer to hold down left click and use scroll bar but this is a long way to do it.... so will probably be trying to get into the habit of using page up/down etc.

    It's just trying to confuse me i think!! just when i thought i knew what i was doing, it seems to have moved it's goalposts!!!

    Hello Lenny (and everyone else but he's the big sulk)!

    I just bailed last night too Maz but not for the same reasons - was dead on my feet. hope you find something cheap and fun to do with the hols, I think Jinky posted a couple of websites earlier somewhere that might help shall try and find them for you.

    It's post 20 on this thread Maz.

    Had a look on these sites, not much at all for aberdeenshire/angus or even Dundee...... bummer.... if the weather was a bit better then there are loads of options...

    Thinking about going visiting this afternoon, it's free, and all you need to take are a packet of biscuits!!

    Maz - there's not much on it for down my way either but loads in Glasgow and there are loads of free things to do near here. You should be taking homemade hobnobs for the visiting though!

    visiting? visiting who?

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
