Yoo hoo everyone, my new computer's up and running :j. Only problem now is I'm logged out of all the places I normally go so I hope I can remember all my log in details etc.

I had so much time on my hands without the computer, did some gardening, caught up on the ironing, etc. Makes you realise just how much time is spent on it!!!

Anyway, too many pages to check back and read all. I want to catch up with blogs, check challenges I entered, etc. Tomorrow we're out all day so I think it will take me a couple of days to get back to normal. In the meantime, well done to everyone who's got on DTs and hugs to anyone who needs them.

Any clever computer people here? I've got Outlook Express 6 and after removing the preview pane (which I don't like or want) when I click on an email it now comes up as a little box in the middle of the screen. On the old computer it used to open up and fill the screen. I can't find out how to make it big again, other than click the maximise button on every email but I want each one to automatically open up big. Anyone know?

Sory Tomsmom, I am a computer numpty, I 'know what I know' if you know what I mean

Louby, ear infections can be horrible, hope your lil one gets better soon xxx

Mel, the card is from Craftwork Cards, it's a tenner for 50 A4 sheets but it's the best I've ever used.

Finally got all my tomatoes planted out, my back's killing me know, have a few left over so am going to give them my brother as his little ones are into growing things

Tomsmom I have started your card for the card swap, do you want it signed or unsigned? not that I know what I am doing only asked because others on here have asked

Melissa, I second what rainmac says about the card from Craftwork Cards, it is fab for stamping and for digi printing too.

Good Evening Everyone

How are you all? It's been a while since I've had a chance to post on here, so hope this finds everyone feeling fine.

I'm also after some help again please - I've been asked to make a 21st card for a girl for this Saturday - brief is that she's a professional cyclist and will be competing in the Olympic games, so it's got to have a bike on it somehow - has anyone got any 21st toppers at all or know where I can download some freebies please?

Thanks again,

Sal

TomsMom - yeah - a new computer!!!! I have no idea how to help you with outlook express - my laptop's gone a bit weird - every time I click on a link its smaller than a normal page - it never used to be like that - and I've no idea how to turn it back.

Rainmac - thanks for the link - I think I'll have to get some!!!!

Mad-Frog - I can't stand tomatoes, but I love tomato sauce!!! Every year my grandad used to get me to try one of his tomatoes - he'd say "you might have changed your mind" - I never did, I loved his grapes though!!!!

It's OK now thanks both, I asked on the Techie forum and got an answer quite quickly - it was so easy - it always is when you know how!

I've got a couple of tomatoes outside which are almost red, and a couple of strawberries, and one runner bean big enough to eat!

Your card is on it's way MadFrog, it should be with you on Thurs. I think there's an animal challenge IIRC, will have to go and check, if I find it and it's date is up before Thursday you'll not have to visit my blog :rotfl: . I'd love it if you signed the card please, I keep all hand made cards and I love to look back at them and know who sent them.
