    Good morning everyone. Hope all poorlies are feeling a bit better today. Glad to see Toots is home.

    As you can see, I haven't made much progress with the lists this week; so I'd better go and get dressed and make a start.

    Hi everyone
    Sorry but I have no idea what has been going on for the last month or so. First the end of term was hectic and then I have been away for 2 weeks. Still its now time to get back to 'flying' and the house so needs it. Any way off to wash up and I'll be back

    Right... having done some really exciting research on cloud computing..

    Greenbee - I know that i am a Techno phob when it comes to computers but what is 'cloud computing'?

    Well we arrived at the cottage after a hair raising drive down single track roads (please bare in mind that I do not do backwards in the car - so meeting oncoming traffic was a little stressful for me and highly amusing for DD). The cottage is lovely - thatched and in the middle of nowhere. However as it is pouring with rain we have decided to stay in today - have got new DVD's to watch.

    What on earth has this flying done to me................. we went into bath yesterday to get some food and bits and I bought CLEANING STUFF for the cottage and I planned to fly while I am here...................... I am so stunned that I have done this especially when I stuggle so much at home!!

    Best get off now as DD has claim to my laptop from 10 to 11 - I best post my list before she comes down!

    Morning everyone,

    Just caught up with the thread. I've stupidly managed to download a worm on our home computer :eek:(I'm at my M&D's typing this whilst I cat-sit). I thought it was just an AOL thing, as it was all in the same colours etc, and it was called Personal Antivirus - it said that our computer was under attack, and showed all of the files with trojans flashing. Anyway, I clicked on the button, and now we can't get rid of it in the toolbar, and it keeps flashing up saying the computer has been infected by various worms etc. OH had a look at it last night, but hasn't been able to do anything. When you click on it, it comes up with get licence button, which takes you to a page to pay for it in dollars! Don't know what we're going to do now - that'll teach OH to renew the antivirus software in future. Have been too scared to use our home PC since. I told him to ring AOL as they were meant to be providing a package with McAfee anyway and haven't. OH said that someone at work did the same thing and they had 6 engineers working on the computer for ages and it cost them lots of money to replace everything. I feel so stupid!:(

    Anyway, on a flying front, I'm going to copy down the list here and will update this evening when I come to feed the cat again.

    Hugs to all who need them and Happy Birthday to SSL.
