Sorry was busy there. Never assume anything where MS is concerned. As I mentioned before, when I worked for a rather large bank, we effectively beta tested Vista for MS. I was one of the guinea pigs and OMG, even with all the experience and qualifications of the day, I never saw a more useless operating system. Office was a nightmare. Simple things like trying to freeze panes in Excel turned into a 2 day camel trek trying to work through stupidly named menus.

The team I worked in ran the IT systems for EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) so it was our job to ensure any patches or upgrades were thoroughly tested. We came to hate Tuesdays, commonly known as Microsoft Tuesday. Woe betide any of us if an update took out a system even for an hour. Banking is a 24 hour a day business so you can imagine how many late nights there were trying to work outside normal banking hours to minimise any impact if something did go Pete Tong.

As someone above said, right click on an arrow will show you the history of that tab. If you are happy to leave the toolbars off you can un-hide the main one temporarily (File, Edit etc) by using the Alt key. Same applies to Firefox.

For those experiencing issues with your web browsing, are you using Internet Explorer? I'd take a guess that when you shut down last night (or while your PC was left running overnight) a system update ran and installed a newer version of IE.

I think this is what's happened but would like the old one back

However, I still managed to use the gift card discount scheme to get some cheap postage stamps.
Smiths currently have 5% discount on stamps and, bearing in mind that Royal Mail are playing a devious game with not announcing the planned price increase from next month, I decided to stock up on stamps.
48 2nd class came to £16.40 and 36 1st class were £15.72.
the £15 card for £10 with a greetings card is still on so, with the cheapest £1.75 card you would still have £3.25 profit to offset the cost of the stamps if you bought gift cards now.

Thank you - I couldn't go & do the card + card thingy as I know the staff so well in my small town, BUT I have copied you & bought cards for £1.75 (aren't the cards dear in Smiths!) & got the 48 2nd Class & paid 72p extra & then got another = 36 1st & paid £1.40 extra :T

This is one I should have popped on as a garden question but will ask here:

Where is the best place to but perennial meadow seed mix?

I need quite a lot as I am going to devote an area for pollinating insects this year and don't know where the next place is to purchase from.

The 99p shop were selling big bags of it yesterday. HTH
