    Thanks Nan. Gratefully received. Coming down off the ceiling a bit now. Should have known really as he did the same with the last car. I have never driven it.


    How do you do smilies etc please? Need a headbanging one. Lol.

    Gintot underneath the message box are a few smilies and in brackets "more". Click on "more" and you will find quite a lot more smilies including one head banging a wall :wall:. Hope this helps.

    Book into your nearest N0v0tel. If memory serves they take doggies (certainly the one in Brugge does) so Scampi could go with you. :rotfl:

    We decided against a coffee table in the end as worried about doggie tails sweeping across :) maybe thinking about a small side table that we could move next to sofa when needed....
    Very sensible; I've had a fair few tails here that were definitely "+3 for damage" in Dungeons & Dragons parlance.:D
    Jackie you should speak to the public health people about that curry, there was something wrong with it. I hope you feel better soon.
    Exactly what I was going to say; and I'm pleased to read that you've sent the relevant email, Jackie. A similar thing happened to Mr LW some years back, at the local 'Sp00ns pub, and it was most unpleasant for him, so I hope you're back to your usual bright self very soon.

    Gintot Im wondering whether youre using the Post Quick Reply? You need to use the Advanced Reply for the smilies to show up I think,mind you I'm no expert :D

    Had a walk over Bodmin Moor this afternoon. Didn't mean to. Hubby was wearing his new brogues and me 2 inch heels....Never again.:D

    My stomach is in knots. Youngest went for a check up on his hand this morning. He's got to have his hand pinned. I'm desperate to get home but hubby won't hear of it. He's having his holiday no matter what. Of course I'm worrying how Youngest is coping with one arm.

    Good news. All went well at the hospital with my friend. Hospital doesn't want to see her for 3 months.

    Did a massive load of washing this morning and was just about to hang it outside when the heavens opened! I ended up putting a few things in the tumble drier and the rest on hangers in the dri buddy.

    Torrential rain on and off all day. Kitchen is tidied and I have been sorting out my wardrobe, moving tops and trousers that fit me now so they are on the left hand side and the items that are a size down moved more to the right hand side.

    Still loads of bedding, towels and clean clothes to be sorted and put away and things that need to go out of my bedroom. I shoved things there out of sight and they are clutterering up the place :mad:

    I made the mistake of wearing a new cotton top on Sunday as it was a hot day and two different dds on two different occasions asked if I was wearing a pyjama top :o Got so discomfited I hit the online sales and ordered four smarter tops and will need to make sure I don't always look as if I wear the same thing, maybe rotating order tops are in and wearing things in order rather than grabbing something that has just been washed and dried because it is quicker.

    Managed to get to the hospital yesterday and have had an echocardiogram and an x ray on my knee and still managed to get back to volunteer at the library in the afternoon. Exhausted when I got back at 7p.m. though.

    I am glad that your friend had some good news.

    Mrs TA

    I hope things went well at the hospital and the travelling was not too bad.

    Hugs to you and dd and hope things improve.

    Just had a phone call from youngest and she has got the job that she interviewed for yesterday :j:j:j:j Now she just has to find a nice flat to rent in Manchester. Strongly suggested she check crime figures etc on areas she is considering and can't wait for her to feel more settled.

    Hugs to all.

    Hi RosyRed and Nan

    I find they don't work on tablets or phones.

    Elona - fantastic news for your DD, congratulations to her!

    My day has been fine. The drive down began in rain and ended in sunshine. I collected an order from Wrose and took DM for her visit to a friend locally. There's only her house insurance to renew tomorrow, take her to the docs and then onto another older friend who is in a care home nearby.

    My lovely cousin in Berlin sent my DM a parcel with some things in she had asked for. He also put in a packet of my favourite German sweets, Choco-Linsen. :j They're like large smarties with mint flavoured chocolate inside and are either pink or white. I'm finding it difficult to exert self control!

    So my day has been quiet and sweet.

    Judi - sorry to hear about your son's hand. I'm sure he'll find a way to manage so I hope you can relax a bit.
