    Dinah, to post pictures there's a little box next to the insert link (looks like a mountain with a yellow background), click on that and put in the link thingy to the picture in there (I'll usually right click on the picture and go into properties to get the right link, copy it and paste it over the bit that says http because it'll already say http in the bit that you copied...if that makes sense!)

    Thanks Birdie, will finally satisfy Cinny's request for a camel-orientated picture later then!

    Got the underwater camera photos back, don't have the heart to show them to NIM as his thumb or the camera strap is over at least half of them!

    Yay, Camels!

    Because I'm a nosey posey I read the other thread, I didn't know the guy he hit was saying he was threatening to sue! Poor NIM! But if the breaklights were out if might be hard to prove so (if he does go on to sue) as he might claim they were 'damaged' in the accident. On the other hand, someone called NIM your hubby, aw :D Seems like you're getting lots of help though.

    Can't get into the work frame of mind today, just keep thinking. 'Shopping this afternooon!' :rolleyes:

    Eeee! Put Spendy Cinny back in her box!

    I need to open 2 more savers today (yes, more!) so we can put aside money each month for presents. We've decided pressies for one another don't come out this pot, but pressies for everyone else do. Oh wait, NIMs Egg one was meant to be for that, hmmm, now I'm confused. Maybe this one was for rent?!

    Just went and smiled at the IT guys and got another 1gb of memory in my work computer, meaning i can now open email and IE at the same time! yey!

    Found a solution to the wedding dress dilemma; Maggie Sottero has a 'Destinations' collection and they are to die for!
    Be prepared to lots of dresses today!

    Well it's for something!! I was thinking of opening another saver too, for holidays, before I head out this afternoon. See, your saver logic is catching.

    Spending Cinny is back in her box, infact I'm sending her off to some poor unsuspecting ebayer who thinks they're getting a toilet seat. *que evil laughter and thunder bolt*

    Blimey it's almost 11:30, this mornings gone pretty quickly!

    Lol I like the splan for Spending Cinny!

    I need a little book, where I can write down the accounts we have, what they are for, and if/how much any regular payment into them is! High tech version would be one of those spreadsheet majigs I think....

    I'm surprised that you don't already have a spreadsheet Dinah, complete with graphs and fancy formulas working out the rate at which you are saving and how many children you'll have!

    Oddly enough spreadsheets scare me! I tried to make one for our budget, but it was rubbish. Might have to have a better go at making an accounts one.

    You should get a note book with graph paper, then you can draw up little tables for the bank accounts, but the interest rates and whatnot then update the amounts at the end of the month or something! I think I'll have to go grab one today (Any excuse to go into Paperchase is fine by me!) I'll have 4 accounts after I've opened the new saver later, that's more than enough for me to get confused about!
