    Thanks Squeaky for your smilie thingies..........if I can ever get the hang of them, can I use them? Could be years!:rolleyes: Still trying to get used to posting links on this board - bit of a hit or miss with me - and I don't do fancy either.......some kind soul comes along and fixes it for me if its broke!
    Have this vision in my head .........oh no, its AM again - that twit who can't do links, avatars etc etc!

    Nikiyoung - what do you mean you only have gin, tonic, lemon and olives in your fridge only in this weather? Disgrace! They are necessary components for the fridge to be working at all times.....well so I was told. :confused: Apparently you do have to have some beer in there too ....so Squeaky and my OH says, but I think that they are fibbing - fridge works fine without beer! :beer:

    Anne-Marie youare not alone! I've done one link in my life, and for the life of me I don't know how I did it!!:rotfl:

    You will notice I don't have an avatar, which is not entirely by choice ( OK I've never sorted out one I'd like, but if I did have one wouldn't know how to install it!!)

    As for smileys Nelski spent ages helping me use smiley central, which I'm proud to say I downloaded from the web. I'm not proud to say I hadn't a clue what to do afterwards:o
    You never get a second chance to make a first impression.

    They're easy, honest. Once you've done it the first time you'll wonder what all the fuss was about. :)
