    Good luck to you too! :)

    Wow, you mean in front of your PC, you also have tea/coffee maker/Mugs etc on your rightside, Gown robe, Toothbrush etc on your leftside and a pottery under the chair?

    I hate this, I hate the idea of black friday anyway.I'm hoping that the roads won;t be too busy as DD is getting married. I feel like replying to the emails telling them I've already bought (won really) most of my presents so they're too late but it would take too much time

    Hi what I have done is to go to my email settings, and set a filter rule that basically takes out all the emails containg 'black friday' in the title and puts them straight to a folder i made call bf.

    Then just scan through that box just incase you had a WEM that says 'congrats you won black friday' etc..
    Still comping, after 2 heart attacks 4th feb & 6th feb, and a stent put in.. 45 years old only:eek:
