Choille, if you go to Tinypic....

http://tinypic.com/

you can press 'browse' there to open your pictures folder.
Click on the picture you want, then choose a size if you wish, then press 'upload.'

You'll probably have to type something or copy some text to prove you are human, but then the word 'Uploading ' should appear.

Your picture appears when uploaded on the right of the screen and some codes appear in boxes on the left. You copy the code labelled 'forums & message boards' (or something like that) and paste it into your post here.

That's it.

CHOILLE .... i am the oppitomy ? of a computer idiot and i managed to post pics with daves instructions when the list comes up for size i pick the medium size [middle of list ] then i copy and paste when it appears. i find it easier to have the dreamers page on one page and the tinypic on another so i dont "lose" it en route...;):rotfl:

Everyone has perked up a bit and is feeling better I am totally exhausted and ready for an early night :rotfl:

The weather there was foul and it was frustrating not to be able to get out in the garden when I was home all day. Never mind I am sure there will be good weather before I return to work

The digger has broken and there is no hope of repair, so the caravan pad isn't going any further this weekend. :mad:

Wrong!:rotfl:

We looked in the Parish Newsletter and there was an advert for a digger, so we hired it. Turned out to be a friend of a friend. Within the hour, we were digging away again. :beer:

Then the dumper wouldn't go.......:wall:

So, another hour wasted charging the battery., but at least we got it up and running again. I now know where my charger is, where the allen keys are and exactly how far my longest extension cable goes.

To cut a long story short, we stopped at 21.30. :(

Still quite a bit to do.....

Oh dear Dave, how frustrating. Must have been dark when you finished.

We had a friend round for tea yesterday. His wife retired recently and is holidaying in Canada (has sent us some fab photos of the scenery and bears/wildlife) but he had to come back to go back to work. So Mr BD made him a super omlette with our own eggs, potato's, tomato, courgette etc

Mr BD went to use the grill in our new cooker for the first time and found that the side thingy is missing so there is nowhere to slide the grill tray on. So on Monday I will be ringing up the Co-op to say - I bought a cooker from you at the end of May and we've just discovered there is a bit missing, can you help

Suppose we also ought to check that the ovens work too, we are still using our tabletop halogen oven.....

morning all,


Davesnave your day sounds as though it was a nightmare..and I feel guilty now, as I sort of had a mooch day...


was piddling it down during the night, and this morning, but the sun is out for a few minutes..


need to go home today for a few hours... it honestly feels like I live 2 lives...


think we should be splitting a few more logs today, as I think it might be a long winter...


Also can I pick your brains... apart from trying to see if we can get the last remaining parkray living room fire out of the ranch in tacked and putting it into the brick shed, what other ways can I heat the shed cheaply??? was thinking of those electric wall tubular heaters, but I think that will run up the electricity bill..

The dumper's battery is definitely knackered. It won't hold a charge. Luckily, one of our friends has an expensive charger/jump starter that will get anything going instantly.

But why hire out something in that state and then say, "It's a bit difficult to start"?

I have found something louder than my brushcutter; it's a wacker, used for levelling materials like hardcore and scalpings. My ears are still ringing.

We are onto drains now.....:)
