    British Gas do deals on replacement boilers in the Summer.

    If you are becoming less keen on the DIY option, there are organisations that will lend you appropriate equipment for the disabled.

    Thanks. I didn't know that. Who does the lending?
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    I've messaged you the name of a local organisation.

    Got a small annoyance in Libre/Excel ... I have a spreadsheet and on it in line 9,900 there is a cell comment.

    When I want to edit that comment it is displaying on line 20,500.

    I therefore want to "drag" that comment up the page by 10,000 lines so the comment, when I edit it in the future, is somewhere close to line 9,900.

    Can I get it to move? Can I heck.

    I also want to resize the comment box so the background colour is behind the entire comment - at the moment there's a bit of colour at the top of the comment, but the rest has no background colour, so when you hover over the cell and it displays the comment it is mixed up with text on the screen.

    Can I resize that comment box? Can I heck.

    I'll get there ... :)

    Can you copy the cell from line 20,500 and paste it to a cell in line 9,900, including the comment, then remove the comment from the cell (or just delete the cell) in line 20,500?

    I know that works in Excel, but don't know LibreOffice at all.

    Don't know about resizing the comment in Libre either, in Excel you can just click on its border, usually taking one click to select the box and a second to select the border itself, and drag away.

    I was up at 4am this morning - bl00dy early morning seagull squawkings and fights.

    It had been moist overnight, possibly actual rain. By 4am it'd mostly dried, but I could see the evidence it'd existed (else it was a very heavy mist!).

    Hottio now again.

    I was in Oxford visiting a friend yesterday evening. It poured with rain there - but not for very long.
    Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)

    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

    The cell isn't at 20,500, just the comment hovers there.
    The cell is at 9,900.

    You have the cell - and the comment box is "attached" to it by a straight line (so you know where it's from) ... but the comment "hovers" so to speak above the sheet.

    Ah, gotcha. I've occasionally had that PITA in Excel where I set the wrong properties (Move & Size with cells, Move but Don't Size with cells, Don't Move or Size with cells) for the comment. Relatively easy to fix if one can get at the properties but not if, as I understand it, you can't.

    On older versions of Excel I even managed to get comments off the worksheet so it objected to me, for example, inserting or deleting a column because there was a (hidden) comment off to the right that it didn't know how to handle :mad:

    Apparently it has been 43 days since we last had a drop of rain fall here, it's been wall to wall sunshine the whole time. I know we had no rain at all on holiday, not even any overnight stuff, best weather ever on a holiday in the UK or anywhere else for us.

    Came home to the plans for the adaptations to the house, going to be lots of upheaval but it will be worth it.
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.

    And it was St. Swithun's day the other day, which was sun, sun, sun all day.

    So that's another 40 days, then. :(:(:(
