    Nicki - good idea steps and water. Will go and put on pedometer and drink a large glass of H2O right now!

    Lynz - you've got so much going on in your life at the moment - house move, job hunt, Christmas, etc. Please don't be so hard on yourself. You always support us so now it's your turn to lean on us a little.

    Have a good day. Punky x

    Lynz - :grouphug::grouphug: We're here. Look at what you achieve, don't look at what never got done. ;) Moving house is one of the most stressful things you can do so take a deep breath, breathe out slowly and tackle job 1 then take a break ;) Works for me. :D

    I've just logged onto ebay to have a looksie and already we have 3 things selling :j They're all books so I'm happy as they'll be easy to package up:D...not so sure about some of the other items we've listed :think: At least the mountain bike is a local pick up :rotfl: They finish Sunday night at 7.30 and then whatever doesn't sell will be listed until for 10days, anything still not sold (and not re-wanted) can go to the local cat charity shop ;)

    :rotfl: MY OH has just come on MSN from work to ask me how to use our webcam to take still shots....he is an IT technician in a school and brought our webcam home so he could work out how to use it. :rolleyes: Apparently he tried to do it last night and again this morning and couldn't figure it out :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: It took me less than 1 minute (once I'd found the software as it wasn't in the start menu :rolleyes: ) to remember and say "you do this, this and this" :rotfl::rotfl: Men! :rotfl:
