    Did you manage to track down a large calculator? They have massive ones in Sports Direct for £3.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Hope the gathering is successful xx

    Gallygirl - Sports Direct seem to sell big everything - calculators, mugs and don't get me started on the carrier bags :)

    Beanie - re gmail - if you click on the little black arrow at the end of where it says inbox, you can choose to have unread emails first, try that.

    DS was rather worse for the wear last night :beer::beer::rotfl:
    I came home quite early as I was driving & not drinking:A

    Out today for a lovely pre birthday lunch with a couple of my very lovely friends.
    I am so lucky to have such lovely friends :)

    Hi Beanie - rubbish the amount of falls you are having - take care. I admire the way you get up and get going again every time. It made me really apprehensive after I fell but I thought of you and made myself get out there again.

    What colour doors have you ordered.

    Family reunion sounded lovely too

    Take care

    Milan~~Have to be honest and say I find the falls more and more difficult to deal with.
    Hey ho.

    The doors are white on one side & mahogany on the other.
    Hopefully will be here soon.

    On a happier note I got a very lovely caterpillar birthday cake today & a bottle of Ediburgh gin ~~the raspberry one~~:drool: :drool:
