Morning all
kids off to their dads,
LSB due shortly
lots of washing out (towels and sheets)
extra level of security added to Paypal account as DS is selling some game account and has handed out my email address to send payment (in dollars) to. Since he knows where I write my passwords I logged in to change it but have added security key, where they text a random code to my mobile every time I log on. So pleased with that.Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily Dickinson
