    On Page 25, and trying not to read ahead in case of spoilers, i.e. you buy another accidental house, or pony, or perhaps a zoo?

    Anyway, in answer to the below

    So, nattypants has been reading my diary, poor soul, so I thought I'd have a look at where she was up to.

    Ah yes, accidental house purchase :rotfl:.

    (If you end a sentence with a smiley should you:
    a) use a full stop before it,
    b) use a full stop after it, or
    c) use no full stop at all? )

    C) use no full stop at all

    Looks.weird.otherwise.:D.

    No zoo, just a rhino. I kid you not!

    So GG... if the leak is fixed who's the next target for your flirting? Perhaps someone how can get stuff off your 'puter harddrive?

    Right...you've inspired me to do a backup today - especially of the photos! Sorry about your hard drive :( Have you thought of using 'the cloud' to store some of your documents? I've got key documents stored on Dropbox - 2Gb of space for free, can be accessed from any computer via the Web. I keep spreadsheets on there. It works just like any other folder on your PC and syncs automatically.

    Don't talk to me about bloody Dopbox :mad:. That is what started all this - set up an account at work and decided to use it for a back up. Remembered last fri morning. Went to do it, but thought best take it upstairs and sit at desk so not crouched over etc. Knocked laptop against table which I though made fan make funny noise but been told since that was probably harddrive packing up.

    So yes, I have heard of bloody Dropbox :rotfl:.

    With ref to Ecoelle's flylady list she's not the only one who can do housework etc by lists:

    Friday - Bathroom, toilet
    Level One
    Rub down drip in gloss on door
    Touch up gloss on door, frame skirting board and pipework
    Get paint all over cardi

    Achieved. Will try level 2 next time as that was easy.


    Friday - Study
    Level One
    Clean window
    Move plants and photos off windowsill and polish
    Decide you don't like cacti any more.
    Wonder if it's bad luck to chuck plants out

    Level Two
    Google it, opposite is true, it's bad luck to keep cacti
    Throw cacti in bin
    Nearly fall in after them trying to retrieve plantpot
    Give up rest of study and have bath

    Achieved. This housework lark is easy really, isn't it :)
