    Morning all

    School run done, been to the corner shop as DS1 knocked a pint of milk over this morning and we were short anyhow. He wiped it up best he could but I need to re mop the floor in a minute.

    SS - hugs for DD - have you tried rescue remedy to help her through it - I think they do pastels aswell as the drops now. Also counting backwards, maybe from 20 (100 for adults) is a great way of distracting the mind. Silk stuff I've used Patra (online) before, not cheap but does last.

    Just going to wash up and then HHC at 10:00 anyone so I cant get the study finished

    Jo - I struggle with that every time - for me there is an icon on the start program (green button at the bottom right) but if not if you search on your laptop defrag it should find it for you (not google type search - pc search like to find a document). Confused now aren't you!

    1. To defrag go to My Computer or Windows Explorer (but not a shortcut to a drive).
    2. Right-click a drive icon, select Properties, then click the Tools tab.
    3. Click the Check Now button to have Windows check the drive for errors and fix them.
    4. Go back to the Tools tab and click the Defragment Now button to defrag the drive.
    going to do mine now!!!

    DeniseNZ - what would you do with the land if you bought some?
    We'd run some stock - maybe breed minature cows, graze cows for fattening, grow lucerne that we could sell . . . stuff like that. I want chooks and a bigger vegie garden, too. The garden we can do here, but none of the other stuff.

    AnW'sMum - are your parents still travelling? How are they enjoying it?

    Have decluttered a bottle of luverly wine, now I think I'd better be off to bed . . . Night :)
