    I'm so glad I'd drunk my coffee before reading that! It would have been difficult explaining the need for a replacement keyboard to IT services..

    I'm so pleased to hear that you are getting some good news lately. You sound so enthusiastic about your gardening and craft projects - a whole new world is opening up for you. I'm also doing lots more gardening - sowing, making cuttings, dividing etc. I love it and could easily spend all my time doing that rather than tidying up and doing paper work!

    If you'd showed them the post, they would have understood, and probably asked for a link to it. We would have, anyway!:rotfl:

    Haven't been on for a bit, so, so pleased about your PPI. And the Kindle. Of course you should keep it, and enjoy it.
