Morning All,
Well the good news is I never got washed away last night, the bad news is that Noah's Ark flattened some of my plants as it passed by! Still raining.
Hugs for Tappers and Doe, it probably is this horrible weather, feel better soon.
Lowesy have a lovely day with the girls, I had to laugh about the gorgeous stockpor, that's exactly how I would describe a pot, my OH thinks I'm nuts!
Bitsy enjoy your tea party.
Honeybee your salmon should be fine.
Well I had to rearrange my smear, as my friend is still here, I can never predict how long she will stay, which is a pain, so the boys and I are off shopping this morning, Aldi then Home Bargains to see what I can find. I then have physio this afternoon. I think we'll go and visit gran after that, she'll be feeling lonely now the girls and the kids have gone homw, take her some flowers to cheer her up.
I am off to clean the kitchen floor and wash the inside if the windows, my table hasn't sold yet on Gumtree, only one interested person, but it wasn't her style.If it isn't gone tmorow, I'll give it away I think, just to be rid of it.
Hope you all have a lovely day, and it continues to be warm and sunny for those of you enjoying it, and the rain stops soon for the rest of us (I am getting really jealous of you all, OH keeps complaining how hot he is, in Hull!)
Hugs to all the poorlies and worried, I hope you are OK pin Pin and Diva.

I have got the 2gb one which is an hours worth of video - you then just plug it straight into your PC & it is really easy to upload save put on facebook/send as email etc etc.
Its small enough for me to carry around all the time so I won't miss anything. Loads of places sell them but Amazon was the cheapest when I ordered it and had some vouchers from Lightspeed surveys.x
Is this it

:T:T Doelani - yes that's it. I bought so it wouldn't up in the cupboard like my other camcorder :rotfl:I used so infrequently I had to read the manual each time. The flip is now in my bag charged & ready to go. It's already proved worthwhile as I fimed DD in a mood & keep threatening her that i will put it on facebook........I am such a good mother0 -

Unfortunately, Csarina, I didn't get accepted for my local freecycle group, felt a bit disheartened, and gave up trying. I will just list it for free on Gumtree I think, or phone the Salvation Army and see if they will take it. Thanks though.It's what is inside your head that matters in life - not what's outside your windowEvery worthwhile accomplishment, big or little, has its stages of drudgery and triumph; a beginning, a struggle and a victory. - Ghandi0

You have to apply and give them a wee story about yourself, and your reasons for wanting to join. I got some schpiel back about them not accepting any more members, but they were and still are advertising! It put me off applying for any other groups, (I think there was a hint of snobbishness about it actually, because of where I live?) C'est la vie, the charity shop gets all my unwanted if I don't get rid of it at the carboot.It's what is inside your head that matters in life - not what's outside your windowEvery worthwhile accomplishment, big or little, has its stages of drudgery and triumph; a beginning, a struggle and a victory. - Ghandi0
