    PLEASE COULD I HAVE MY STARS.
    I have no idea how to change the colour of my words can't believe I have managed to strike my lines out!!
    I think a computer course could be in order.


    If you go to the reply box and look at the stuff along the top, there is a capital A. If you click on the little drop down arrow next to it you will get a box come up with all the colours. Click on the colour you want and you should be able to post in that colour. To go back to black just click on the arrow again and you can choose black (top left hand colour).

    Haven't started the living room yet, but done my dailies, took DS into nursery (he's fine again now and didn't need the antibiotics :)), finished one typing job and part way through another, had lunch with DH out in the garden with the chooks wandering around, and am just about to take the dog for a walk.

    When I get back I want to:
    * make a start on lounge (maybe only level 1)
    * do more typing
    * make a start on ironing
    * pick up DD and drop off form for climbing tomorrow
    * send DH a text to ensure he doesn't forget to get DS from nursery - the last 2 times I've taken DS in DH forgets he needs to collect him so I've had to go charging through the traffic to get my 'lil man :(. Of course I never mention it to DH that he's so forgetful ;), and I would never dream of posting it on a forum .... ooooops!!!

    Enjoy the sunshine fellow flyers!

    Sorry? Not sure what you are talking about?

    I'm still here knitting away and watching you work! :rotfl:
