    FT i pmd you but you never replied PM and KErri did.

    Kerri couldnt make it and PM did. And i want to say her apple muffins were lovely. we forgot to give Blue her share though.

    I am getting used to windows 8 and I worked out how to get chrome on the tablet side but twice the screen has frozzen with lines running acriss so it as to go back. My kindle absorbed water so need to to get that working. But have found out i can root it and make it work as android :j tablet.

    I'd love to see the xmas lights in London, can you get to London easyish? If not then maybe somewhere else?

    I'm going to the GFS in Birmingham beginning of Dec if anyone else is going.

    Doh! sorry hun as you say that i remember the message and i meant to reply sorry:o i got it during mega busy season! wouldnt have be able to come anyway,uni stuff and work :(

    See i get that with win 8 too sometimes but OH does no.Hes running 64 bit though and im running 32 so i dunno if thats why.Mind you i find it dosn't crash i just have to give it a few mins to sort itself out.That being said I've not had that problem since the whole PSU debaccle a few months ago where i kept loosing my graphics card.I think we fixed that by changing the power jumps on the motherboard so might be worth taking the tablet back,it might be faulty.
    How did you get chrome running on app side,all i can see is the normal install(which puts an icon on the app but but runs in desktop).I'm not a fan of chrome but wouldn't mind having a browser that runs on the app side.Interesting you can turn it into an android device(but why would you want to win8 is far superior if only they would sort theirs apps out!)

    Kindle plop it in a bag of rice for a few days should pull all the water out of it;)

    Ended the call £30 better off to cover cost of call(which i didnt pay for as i used say no to 0870),travel to the branch(as ill have to go in to sort it all out now) and inconvenience! And i wasn't even complaining!

    That makes more sense,cause it basically runs on a locked up version of droid anyway.

    grow an i-pad so thats what apple seeds are for!

    I

    OMG i can't actually believe the date has gone past already as well - I have no idea where time is going (actually I do, it's known as work). Hopefully i can make a future one though x
    My friend and I tried to go picking yesterday but some blighters had beaten us to it(we saw them on the trail with 2 huge tubs). However there's tons of reds left so gonna try again at the end of the week. Not that i like them.maybe ate a few too many rotten ones as a kid

    Not many reds left about round here - saw a good deal of people picking this year so I'll have to keep an eye out next year and make sure i get some - saying that i have about 5 bags in the freezer now, each about 300g so plenty to be going on with. (and some rhubarb from the PYO earlier this year)

    J - i am totally envious of your allotment, it looks fab. My spuds are currently growing away in a black plastic tub - not sure they are getting enough sun where they are, but at least I see growth :D
