    Not got much else planned today except going to see my mum at work to help her transfer all her contacts from Outlook to her new gmail account. Then we are all at mum & dad's for dinner - fish and chips tonight. Yummy.

    SJ, would she not just select them all and create a mail to everyone, then cut the list from the To box into the body and send it to her new address: Sending an email from GMail puts someone into your contacts automatically, so if she then pastes the list into an email from GMail and sends a notification to everyone that this is an address she can now be reached on it's done in two easy steps and a minimum of clicks.

    My mother spent about seven hours painstakingly cutting and pasting everyone singly; I could have kicked myself for not telling her ahead of time :)

    Edit: Great news salesshopper - even more so that presumably the poop was cleaned up before you got home? ;)

    :A Thanks, I've never used it myself but figured there must be a simple way to do it. She said something about there being an "import" button or option or something so i was going to investigate that but your way seems pretty straightforward.

    Monkey World sounds so cool, I am soooo tempted. Idiotic though, on a work day and with a 3+ hour drive. You crazy kids have fun though!

    Not at all idiotic Bruno... Book a hotel, make a midweek break out of it ;)
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    I'm absolutely crying here... Aimee's playing with her sylvanian families and I just heard her say "if you don't do as you're told, they fork you in the bottom" and she's making one poke the other with a pitchfork!!!!

    :rotfl: Krystal.

    I've just managed to throw something away from every room in my apartment :j My to-do list has now expanded to 23 things, but 16 of them are done and the last ones require that I go outside so can wait till Molly's either had a snooze or her lunch, whichever comes first.
