    More painful is the fact that my laptop has finally died.......am currently on DS' but I will need to buy a new one today. It has been on the cards for a while but I had hoped it would limp along for a few more weeks.

    But for now.....in the shower, another cup of decaf (although I will take a "real" one for the drive) and get on with the day!

    Hope you're ok after the tumble, you know best if you are feeling ok enough.
    Sorry about the laptop, do you need a proper laptop or will a little netbook thingy do? They are still quite reasonable. Just thinking because you take yours to the ski club sometimes, mine fits in my handbag.

    Oooh Hypno, hope you're ok, sounds a nasty fall! Try and take it easy if you can. Sorry to hear the laptop died but at least it wasn't the biggest shock in the world.

    Have a good day and take care
