right trying to paste.......here goes.............[IMG]http://microsoft excel[/IMG]


ok not this time but will keep trying

toochoosey try this instead - go to your post with your list and press the 'quote' key - that will put it in a post for you to edit - just delete/strike through/ amend or add to the bits you want - you can safely delete the'quote' words and brackets and it will look like a new list - maybe that will help until you get the hang of cut and paste!

Can you post the make/model on here? Someone may have the same one and could advise.

I thought about this too-but cant find a model-all I know is it's a QA (Ive not so lovingly decided today to call it "questions without answers". I've been all over the net and can't even find a photo.

And to top it I think there's something loose on our roof. The wind is howling and every now and then there's a crash and clunk that sounds like iron sheets:rolleyes:

hi Just lost a post so I will precis this one.

Lil_me, Well done on the presentation. I couldn't ever do all that standing and talking to adults, and all the preparation too. So I am extremely impressed.

toots I am sure you haven't done anything wrong, I felt like that too a few weeks ago and I was wrong.

pigpen thanks for the lists, I am on a level one week this week, doctors' orders, and DHs' orders.

emmbb, ouch, don't go hurting yourself at the gym. My DH talks about cement and mortar, and I am supposed to be interested. He even does it in his sleep.

Hi to Gand B, polkadot, TAg, Sarahsh, Hollyh, MSD, kaz, DandK, mudbath,

Hi toochoosy, I can't manage cut and paste either, my mouse is on the blink again.

DH is out of work this week so he is still working on our lounge ceiling. It means that he has vacuumed ever day when he has finished sanding. Dusting will wait until he has completely finished.

Time for a cuppa methinks

right i'm trying toots idea here goes................

Toots I'm really bothered about this... You haven't posted anything on here since this morning.... and I can't see anything prior to that which could have upset anyone.

I've missed you on here today, and was really pleased when I saw you this afternoon. Has something been said in a PM? At the end of the day, when any of us say something we're always prone to being misunderstood because the written word is so flat, and open to misinterpretation. Any post that I've ever read of yours has always been written with the best of intentions and support, and that sort of caring shines through.

So, I don't know what's happened, but I, for one, would hate for you to try to keep your posts to a minimum!

Your positivity is becoming legendary toots!! You are an inspiration to me, battling through everything that life throws at you. (which is considerable )

If there's anything I can do to help... let me know.

Just catching up with the thread:

Natty Hugs, I hope you managed to get through the day ok

Polka - do you have a stomach protector (tablet) to go with your diclofenac? If not please see your GP about this

Holly hugs I know that feeling - that'll be me from tomorrow or Friday

Diva - your post is impressive - must take ages to do.

Lil_me - I'm glad the conference went well and I admire you so much for all you do for other people

Toots - big hugs, I class you as a hugely important part of this thread and love reading your posts x

I've done well on my list so will update later. Time to cook tea now.

http://www.espares.co.uk/usermanuals.aspx they are good for user manuals, I think QA comes under Hygena

Thanks for the comments, it's not all me and I don't have to speak loads, someone braver than me did that bit. I just help organise and stuff. It's brilliant because these conferences are all about PARENTS influencing the changes made for children with disabilities in the county. Why do I do it? Because if I can make being a parent of a child with special needs/a disbility easier than we had it and improve services, I'm there! We owe it to our children to make the most of the opportunity of being listened to and asked to help shape services in the future. An important part of the day was our County Council and PCT signing up to the Every Disabled Child Matters Charter, something some councils and PCTs are refusing to do, they're now accountable to that, promising they will try to make the changes needed. http://www.edcm.org.uk/Page.asp?originx_1541iv_31018327748132c91n_20069225732f Info and how to back the campaign For once, it feels like those in charge of those services our kids access actually care about how we feel and what we want.

I could go on forever on how important it is etc but of course I won't, well for now just can't help being passionate about it.
