    Thanks for the suggestions.
    This is someone I thought was a good friend but sent a message to me in error which showed this was not the case. Which made me very sad.
    You think you know people & you dont.
    But dont want to not mark their birthday

    Pleased best boy has sorted your printer - I'm sure techie things know those of us who are a tad technophobic and they play up all the more. I can do exactly the same as my dh does to our printer and it just laughs at me and refuses to print - I watch dh and it does it perfectly for him.....dh just says I scare technology into submission.

    Also pleased your feline best boy is picking up a bit and enjoying the sunshine.

    As for your friend that isn't as friendly as she made out - what about a bunch of flowers or coffee shop vouchers - Costa do them - but not sure what chains you have in your neck of the woods. Doesn't sound as if she deserves too much after Mis-sent texts.....

  • Glad you’ve had a good day.

    Boo to pseudo friend :mad:. Maybe something like a bookmark you can put inside the card? Nothing flash, but more than nothing if you see what I mean Xx
