    Fixing my phone call situation is my next task after the accounts :o I just googled skype and had a look at the phones to buy. You have to buy a phone, right, or can I just download the software and use the one I've got? :o:o:o I don't have a clue, and I'm a bit punchdrunk, tbh.

    You can just get a headset which would be cheaper.

    Excellent! I can get sound through the computer, I can play DVDs on it, so I must have sound card and speakers. I have a microphone - not sure if I have the driver/software for it, don't mind buying another, I *know* they're cheap. I'd quite like a headset..... I could do that instead. Excellent! Thanks Shaun! :T:T:T:T

    The off licence near me has just opened......... ***nooooooooo*** I'm not off on the booze - they sell chocolate, and they're a better price than the mini mart. I deserve a Wispa Gold today! brb..... :D
