    Evening all.

    Just having a cup of tea to brace myself for the trauma of doing homework with the kids.

    I thought Gordon Brown was very dignified and his little boys looked lovely.

    Scotland is not far... Stop talking like a Southerner... :naughty:

    OK, crap roads, and the national tree of Scotland is a speed camera, but it's not far.

    He thought I had a boyfriend. I don't have a boyfriend.

    I like him, rather a lot. I think it's mutual.

    That's always a good start...

    thing is i know whats wrong with it (well 95% sure i know what it is) which is the hard drive having died this in itself is a pain in the bum as the laptop is that old getting a new hard drive for it costs a load as it needs a old type of interface which they have not really been making...

    They aren't *that* expensive.

    so i have posted on one of my techy site forums to see if someone has got a 'spare' one i can have (of course i owuld pay postage) otherwise i am going to be looking at installing my operating system on a USB drive which will be fun...

    Do you mean a USB hard drive? Otherwise, Windows will kill a flash disk in fairly short order. And you will have to know what you're doing.

    Ellie - good luck with helping your kids with their homework.

    I agree his kids did look lovely.

    ZTD - here's hoping it's water retention!

    Time to crack on with the assignment writing again.

    It would be rude not to SRM, after all you've had a busy day and the bottle is already open.

    I'd prefer that than a Tory majority or Tory minority government, hopefully the Lib Dems can reign them in a bit.

    Rein them in by making them spend less? Perhaps - Vince Cable does seem to have his head screwed on in that department.

    Where did people get the little plastic mini greenhouses from? Are they expensive?

    I've seen them in Instores/Poundstretcher about a tenner.
