Oh dear jakes-mum! Hope it heals quickly, I can recommend aloe gel...it may sting a bit at the beginning, but it fairly speeds up the healing process

Hollie - you can save your favourites/bookmarks to a USB pen or external Hard-drive!!

I use Firefox, and there you click on the Bookmarks tab, then Organise Bookmarks, then the Import and Backup tab at the top. To save them to your USB or external Hard-drive, click on Backup, and choose where to save it...I suggest making a new folder titled Backups or something similar, and save into it, don't change any if the formats. To restore them on your new machine, click on Restore rather than Backup in the procedure above.

With Internet Explorer, click on Favorites, then the down arrow beside the Add to Favorites... tab at the top, then Import and Export, a small window will open up, click on Export to a File, then Next; on the next page click on Favorites, then Next. Choose which you want to save, probably all, so keep the Favorites folder at the top highlighted, then click Next. Now click on Browse to find your USB or Extrenal Hard Drive to save your favorites to, again making a new folder to save them into. Click Save and then Export, then Finish to end the process. To get the favorites onto your new machine, you will need to click on Import from a File rather than Export to a File, and follow the instructions to get them back onto your new machine.

Hope this helps! I did this last year when we got a new PC...worked a dream!

Hoping ot get more crafting done today and tomorrow, but have a few Xmas pressies to finish so I can hand them over on Saturday!

:T yay thankyou so much ive saved this bit to my faves :rotfl: so will get myself one of those and then follow your instructioons,ive lots of pics on here to that i must burn onto discs before i change pc to laptop. technology ey its a great thing.
were not getting rid of the pc its going up the loft as a back up and also will be handy for when my DD is older as my bro in law can update it all for me (handy having a computer geek in the family :rotfl:)

Hello all :j Had a quick scroll back and looks like you've all been busy :T

Well afraid all I've done is make another button necklace (3rd time lucky as the thread kept getting tangled:mad:) then I got my free fabric samples out and sorted out some for making 'soft trees'.........got one done then more fabric samples came that are perfect for doing a border on a plain tea towel...........just need the tea towels.............:)

What type of bag sealer are people using?

Ive looked on ebay etc and they have the small hand held battery ones or the more industrial type...so not sure whats best?

- The bell wreaths in Poundland have over 40 bells on them!! they are a bargain (seen them in gold and pink so far)

- Humbugs are 49p for 250g in Aldi which I think is the cheapest Ive seen so far

have a front room FULL of stuff to make for our school xmas fair!!

Save your faves to a disk or memory stick and copy onto your new laptop. More time for crafting!

Sorry can't help with sealers but I can barely get into my front room either!!! It's full of stuff that's been made for the fair. It's on Sunday so on a plus side it should all be clear again Sunday morning but I still have stock here of loads of things to make

One of the mums has bagged up all the sweetie cones but as she is working on Sunday, she has dropped off all 100 of them with me, and yes they are in the front room too :eek:

Would someone let me know for the Reindeer Poop bags - approx what weight of raisins are people putting in each bag and how much are you charging. TIA.

I have been putting in 40g per bag, so I can get 5 bags from one 200g bag of Galaxy choc raisins (on offer @ Mr T a while back).
