Really? Goodness. I hope she's well.

FC123, everything sounds so wonderful...apart from the holiday stuff. I felt very proud of you when I visited your rails the other week.

How do you do these screen captures?

If you look on your keyboard, you can find a prnt scrn key. Press this once. Open up paint, and paste into paint. You can paste it into other apps too.

So, good luck LIR ...are you going to book in Big Strong Men and a Lorry?
It's pricey but worth every penny. We did 3 seperate moves and costed up at £850. Double :eek:eeek..

Storage stuff is going with the removal company...which is why we are trying to get as much there before hand as possible.

Then we'll take some car loads from the house, leaving only the big furniture here, which the removal co. will come for separately on another day (no yet booked). I'll move all the critters..I had thought about having a transporter for the horses, it would be about the same price.

We have some Euros left and there are some trailers I like in France. I'm considering driving over to buy one and tow it back, after the hay etc is done.

I am not really the person to explain, as I am self taught and just blunder about until it works but here goes together:

1. Hover the mouse pointer over the chosen image.
2. Right click the image
3. System guesses what you might want to do next and produces a contextual menu.
4. Click copy image location.
5. Go to the MSE entry where you want the image to appear.
6. Click the little yellow icon above (one in from the right it looks a bit like a mountain on a post card with stamp on wrong side.
7. A window opens up asking you to enter the link where the image is to be found (you probably need to remove the htt:// stuff as you have already copied that with your mouse.
8. Right click again and "paste".



QED.

In the right click menu for an image you can click "View Image Info" and find out where the image is coming from Viz: silvercar's Avatar etc. etc.

Simarly the flying pig is coming from:
www.booksbykimberly.com/SoapBoxQueens/TheSoapboxQueens-CallStory_files/pig_flies.gif

Now remembering that kimberly might not like to think that her (?) web site is being used not by customers but by people who want to look at flying pigs, It is more polite & honest (cos the internet is not really free) to get big pictures from sites that want to encourage you visit them - Imageshack that sort of place.

Of course.

Seen any cute ducks today Bouche?

My legs are torn to shreds because when I sit down out side my chicks like to sit on my lap/have a hug (mainly in the hope they get food) and they have sharp claws now. I should really where trousers out there.
