Just go for it Crafty, Outlook is pretty easy anyway, tells you what to do - just go to 'tool' and 'account settings' to get the ball rolling, and if you have the instructions that should be fine, and you'll know if it works when you start getting your emails, if you don't you know you did it wrong and need to check stuff... (that made sense in my head!)

Made sense to me too. Thanks for the nudge, FF.

Of course when I did it it was completely straight forward and only took minutes.
And since it transferred all the current messages it must have worked IYSWIM.
Now just got to work out how to use the new system.
Got my 'Idiot's Guide' out.:rotfl:

morning everybody



funfairprincess aawwwhh poor wee soul -i am glad he tolg you though - had the bullying being going on a while and this is it come to a head or was it a one off do you think? I am glad you went to the school and I sincerely hope they sort it out - and not bury their heads in the sand! hugs for you and DS. And well done to Piper - hope the novelty doesnt wear off too soon!!!!

toots xx

DS has just come in for lunch. He has been moved groups and the other wee boy spent some of the morning with the head master. Apparently he has been threatening DS for a while but DS was too scared to tell incase he was called a clype. Hoping it's sorted now and have told DS that he has to speak up and not just take it.


NewbyMoney SavingChicki thoughts and prayers with you at this time if you need to chat PM me.


dailies done so off to crack on with bathroom. Piper still being a great help,:j she has hung out the washing helped to reload, done the hoovering and she is set for skiddling in the bathroom!!

Little gibbon - you and me both with the boob holding! I wear two bras and a gym top and then they don't move. I'm doing the race for life with my DD for the forth year. Just wondering when you can start running after being spayed as my DH insists on calling it:rotfl: xx

Sexymouse, that's a great idea doing a list for OH - I will speak to mine and see if he wants one. He wants to help, but he always asks me what to do, and I can't always think of things on the spur of the moment. If I did him his own list (or even wrote out the big list, so he can just pick something I've not got round to) maybe that would help him to think of things to do! He's better at housework than me when he does it, he's just not very good at identifying what needs doing, or knowing where to start with it all!

Valli

ooh and I forgot to add to my jobs done that, since I was getting the mop bucket out I decided to mop the kitchen floor (again) before I mopped the bathroom floor THEN I used the water to sluice out the wheelie bin which was emptied this morning - brimful :eek: after DDs mega clear out.
I have also oiled the hinges on the loo seat as they were sticking (One of my teenies is a boy LOL)
(that substitutions thread mentioned in the weekly e mail is a good laugh...)
