    Thanks Ellidee.
    Unfortunately I need somewhere that takes love to shop vouchers and nectar points.

    Hello Z!!!

    Ellidee, that's very interesting, the Chromebook. The hard drive is tiny, but that's easy to work with ... mmmmm. I don't need to replace this laptop yet, but I can see I need some hard thinking when I do :)

    beanie, what do you think you're going to do?

    Hibernate and cry I think.
    Not coping well at the moment
    Even baby steps seem so much.
    How Lucky and Sun Addict do it is beyond me.

    Ouch :(

    Although I do understand both of those options a little bit ... I can't hack a Christmas with other people, so that's quite tough, even if its my choice as a way to cope with my health.

    Online chatting has been a godsend ...

    Is it water coming in from outside, or water coming out of a pipe?
