    yes, never possible to have a full set.
    Things are sent to test us all of our lives - there is a reasoning behind it all but sometimes the reason is a mystery and we never get to find out the why ....

    Eldest child drove us insane, right pain in the bum from about 2 until she was 23 but she finished uni, met her lovely OH, moved in with an older couple who were a good influence over her, started a job with a company who saw her potential and then the duckling turned into a swan and now she is a different person altogether - even she is embarrassed by the person she was ...
    I don't think the same transformation will happen with Errant son though


    Sorry mhoc but I can't help thinking.....


    some mothers do 'ave 'em ;)


    at least he's being pro-active in finding another job :)

    Deafness is a risk with cholesteatoma surgery :o they need to give it 6 months to let it settle to the level it's going to. A bone anchored hearing aid is probably the best option as a conventional hearing aid won't give as much benefit

    I knew it was a risk and have been saying to DD that I didn't think he could hear very well. Do you think they would give him a temporary hearing aid and does bone anchored mean its fixed to the head?

    Just to note on V1rgin Red app, if you have a verified account (linked to trains, planes or media account) then you get 6 months rather than 3 months free Telegraph online access. Note it is a different icon/offer on your list of offers - when you land on Telegraph one shows 3 months and the other 6 months on the drop down, so make sure you go through the right one.

    Still no sign of a free V6 on mine :(.

    :T No rain since noon :D

    My friend's OH turned up today much to her & their daughter's horror :(
    We didn't think he would turn up because of the weather... He is such an obnoxious bossy git :mad:
    So we decided to walk to Tenby to keep him busy...
    I then received call regarding results for my Sister.
    So Fourp & I peeled off towards the beach, walking along the sea shore into Tenby :)

    Managed to get a sealed bag of 2016 new £1 coins from HSBC :j

    Thank you ! I've actually got 6 round icons, not 5, but the one on the RHS is obviously a lock. I've just tapped it and it shows the orientation lock is now off. Its working fine and I a happy bunny. I didn't know that menu was there and had been fiddling with the normal Setting menu trying to change it. Thanks again.

    Glad to have been able to help. My iPad is clearly older than yours and I've now got round icon envy!!:rotfl::rotfl:
