    Huh .... just checked on the security element of the connection, so that I could *sound* like I knew what I was talking about to Samsung, and voila, there's the right security element up and running after all .... the lack of security yesterday must have been because the connection was failing.

    Off I go! Run, Karmacat! See Karmacat run!

    Hiya! Its certainly a beeyootiful day :) good so far for the lappie too thanks :)

    And here's a new trading rule that I've been *trying* to work by, but never formalised it, and I guarantee everyone who reads this diary will understand it:

    "make sure that everything is completely ready in the counselling room the night before, so trading time is not taken up with room prep".

    Aargh, is all I have to say to the background of that one :o:o:o

    Okay, I can't leave it there :rotfl: chaos and catastrophe has ensued :rotfl: because I'm such a !!!!!!.

    The vacuum cleaner was sick :eek: well, the bag was sick *inside* the vacuum cleaner :eek: because I didn't clean the filter. The HEPA filter. So I ended up *covered* in dust and the stairs are filthy (tho the dust is so fine, you can't see it :cool:).

    Another note to self: when you empty the vacuum cleaner, remember to look at the filter.

    I wonder if thats what was always wrong with my late lamented (demented? :rotfl:) Dyson?

    Yep, I just managed - tho the vac isn't put together again, and the stairs remained unvacuumed, there wasn't time :D I'll do it late this afternoon - working again in a few hours, and the weather is *completely* glorious, so, ta-da, I'm going to do some general pruning in the garden :j

    General pruning sounds good (also sounds like an old fashioned army man :rotfl: ) - enjoy you two :)
