rainmac - .............let OH spoil you rotten.....hope you feel better soon.
Just had a quick look at your blog.........you're cards amaze me :T Really must wake up my imagination...........:)

Thank you Mary, you're too kind My OH is home and we've had dinner. I cooked a chicken, some sweetcorn and mash, very basic but all I could muster the energy for. I am thinking of asking my OH very nicely to pop out and get me some goodies later, my throat is so sore, I am longing for ice cream Once the boys are in bed I am going to get my pjs on and do some image colouring while watching the telly, always find colouring therapeutic (sp?) even if it's carp and ends up in the bin

Flourgirl, your dinner sounds much nicer than mine, I could only manage a bit of chicken and some leftover coleslaw in the fridge

So glad you're feeling better Fifi Folle

We have external drives - OH works in IT and we have lots of technical stuff I know nothing about

We've ordered lots of stuff from them and it usually turns up in a couple of days max - have had a depatch email at 2am before now and it's turned up that morning! Then again we don't live far from their depot :rotfl:

Had my order from the papermill shop today am very impressed (even though they had the wrong delivery address on the parcel) coz I got over 100 sheets of card per box when it says 60-80 on the website

This is the one I bought

All this talk about external drives is making me wonder if it is something I need as hubby is bumping his gums about all the digi downloads and bookmarked sites/pages I have - would this solve anything??? Also are there any clever ladies who can help me I have downloaded a freebie font and I have extracted the files and saved them when I open them is says the quick brown fox numerous times - but that is it I cant actually type over anything or type anything in the font that I want?? Its making me think I need to do something else but I dont know what - oh has had a look and gone into font manager but nothing is happening for him either??

Ali - you need to save the font file to the font folder for it to work. If you go into control panel you should find it there and be able to move the the font you d/l to it.

Thanks PONR - I will get oh to have a look - cos I cant even find the control panel - I'm sure I never used to be this thick:eek:
