Yes, that is what they're saying.

Beware of those DNS registrars who do your domain for very cheap. You'll actually find that they "own" your name, not you. This becomes a problem when you want to move it, and you have to fork out mucho money to them.

Excellent! I got my website name from 123reg, whatever the full name is .... what are they like, do you know?

Yep! Mr S used it to set up a website for a course he's doing, so just used the free 'weebly' named one, but is thinking about carrying it on as a permanent project so might go for a 'proper' name in a bit.

Sounds like a lovely view this morning

This is great! And yes, the views here are lovely. My little footpath to a little local village has closed down while some new houses are being built, but all that means is that I have to walk to another entrance to the little nature reserve the track goes through, and then double back through the nature reserve itself. Life is so hard sometimes

That sounds such a chore, walking by the nature reserve .

It beautiful here, going out for a wander in a nearby town later as been working all morning.

i have found the washing line in the middle of the jungle :j

It is beautiful here too the sun is shining and the kites are soaring outside my window. Such a pity I am bogged down with work. Taking five to just sit and look at the sheep over on the hills whilst thinking about the next section. Tried mind mapping but like most people here I cant be too pretty because I end up with words veering off into different links all over the page.
Love the idea of the free website names etc. Might have to have a look.

KC, I might ask for some advice re french accounts at some point if you dont mind. Only mine will be Austrian but I assume keeping accounts will be the sam.

Kites with strings or kites with droppings?

Don't look at the sheep too long - that's how rumours start...

Yay to gardening and a bit of sunshine - gardens need at least a year of not much happenning to them to let them evolve - so you're doing yourself a favour by not doing too much too quickly!

I was told that I had to wait a year before planting too much to see what came up. My neighbour (with a stunning garden) asked me what I was thinking of planting and I explained that I was waiting and why. He told me that I could wait as long as I like but booger all was going to come up

Been here 11 years now and between him, my sister and (very little) from me we now have a bit of colour all year through :T

Think I was in your neck of the woods last night KC, saw a signpost off the A24 anyway

oh nature reserve ... i am soooo jelous ... i miss my park so much ... dont get me wrong it isnt the best in the world ... but i love it and miss it so much

Love the idea of waiting to see what comes up, and being told "booger all", my little yard never ceases to amaze me. Birds obviously drop stuff, and randomly there will be different things pop up that I definitely didn't put there.

Have a good day.

Well. Quite a momentous day for me. After twenty four years, I've stopped working in London. It feels much weirder than I thought it would - when I went to fortnightly from weekly, it was just fantastic to get one weekend in two back, but now .... while I'm over the moon at getting nearly all the other weekend back (I'll still finish work at 7.30 on a Friday night, but it will be in my own house - with waiting for my business partner so we could chat, I was getting home from London at 11.30pm). I'm still *really* pleased by it all; it just means its more important than ever to get the other income streams up and running.

In the meantime ....

Absolutely no problem - mind you, mine just consist of doing what I'm told by the accountant I was recommended to, but any way I can help, I will

I guess I'd better believe my mum then and :rotfl::rotfl:at the "booger all" comment Here, its not quite like that - they've jammed four rhodendrons, a hazel, a mahonia, and a damsonny thing that isn't, into one stretch of about twenty feet. Plus, when I was putting a *lot* of wild bird food out because there wasn't anything else, the birds seem to have let slip some volunteers - no idea what they are. The other side, where the ex-buddleia was, is the sunny bit, where I can plant my fruit espaliers etc, but even that has a few issues with the planting - they've stuck two rose bushes and a lavender out into the grass, and two **huge** sedges are there as well.

that's great getting rid of the london trek..it must free up so much time...your garden sounds like a lot of hard work but will be beautiful once you've got it sorted.

I'd forgotten that you'd resigned from London, it gives you so much more free time. It probably frees up part of Saturday too, as you were probably tired. Glad it feels like the right decision.
