    Kitchen finished.

    First parcel has arrived so need to sort that out in a minute (Hex/Serena it is from our friend Peter N)

    Think I'll make a couple of phone calls now and then on with some banking.

    Quick non-flying questions - does anyone have a htc Desire phone? I'm starting to think I need a phone I can email with as I'm away a lot and I've missed a couple of potential new clients by not replying asap. I'm don't want to spend a fortune and I'm not bothered about having an I-phone so any recommendations. Thank you.
    xx

    Hi Mudbath,
    I have an HTC Desire and I love it. I've had it for about four months or so and while the touchscreen took a bit of getting used to, I wouldn't swop it for anything.
    DH did all the research on phones when I was due to get a new one (he loves doing that type of thing) and it was for many reasons (I can ask him when he's finished work if you like, as I believe they're rather technical) far and the best one available.

    I just highlight the area you want to copy and right click with the mouse and copy, then right click again and paste where you want it to go.
