    Butti - fingers crossed it eases soon. Agree with scaredy, can you dim down your settings - if it is a laptop mine is dimmer if I run it off battery rather than plugging in the battery. You could try that?

    Butti, hugs, I hope the appointment goes well.

    Ellie (I think it was) fingers crossed for your holiday.


    Well, I'm going to an afternoon gig in Huddersfield later. Other than that I'm going to be doing ten minute bursts of housework and mooching on here.

    Afternoon all,

    Been a rather productive morning; I've typed 750 words of my assignment. I'm half way there.

    Why do weekends always go by soo fast and then the work week drags?
