    NTBY - Isn't there someone on MG's thread who is in Kampala? Lara I think? Not sure how big Kampala is, but you might be near each other! Sorry to hear about your split, always sad when life takes you in different directions.

    So many old faces back on here-I've missed the DC threads the last year or so!!!!:j:j

    Here???? DS doing his GCSE's...so stressful-why can't I just sit them for him??? DH down in Gosport fitting out our new boat before it sails off to Mallorca to it's new permanent home on friday,it's a Lagoon 41,much nicer than our old one..DH also recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes...he's only a little overweight (and he's lost a stone and a half,as have I ) so not sure why he suddenly got that. I have been for a lovely lunch at Gravetye Manor today-lunch and a tour of the gardens, £35....didn't know wine was included, and they just kept topping me up so I am ready for a snooze now...
    Have booked another QM2 trip in October,with kids this time,so it's all good here.....
    BB_great to see you again- you and Pepe??? I didn't know!
    Debt-free...and staying that way...

    Wow, working in Uganda sounds brilliant, well done on following your dreams!


    Aaaargh, my printer still wont work. It's had a document in the queue for weeks now and it wont print or delete it, and it wont print anything else until that's done. I've even tried to uninstall it, but it wont let me while there's a print queue.


    I think Epson has a new printer out that seems to be quite cheap and has 4 replaceable ink cartridges...

    Hope that helps...Best of British with the printing

    The diagrams on my lord, they sent me into a tizz every time I looked at them.

    Are these Chippendale diagrams?
    And then there was the great big pile of donkey balls they called SPSS!

    No, no - tell us what you really think...

    Try this: Stop the print spooler service. Navigate to WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\PRINTERS as an administrator. Delete the files in there. Re start your print spooler service.

    Make sure you've got the right directory.
