Gers, thanks for the link. Just wondering why they have made it so difficult to report an issue & don’t seem to be offering up any replies 😞 or any reason why they changed it from something that worked perfectly well 😔

I've been on a run - only 3k but at least it's a start. TBH the weather makes me nervous - I don't mind getting rained on, just don't want to slip and cause myself a mischief. @Gers I'm self-employed but dedicated support to a mortgage broker. She lets me know when she needs me but it's always very last minute. Was promised 15 hours/week over three days when I started back in November but it's never materialised. I'm lucky to do 8 hours/week, last week was 6. Would be better off on JSA which I know is the completely wrong attitude. Glad you met up with Lionel's niece and did the necessary x
Happy Birthday to your son @IzzyBee x

@Gers maybe put those things from Lionel's niece away safely for a while, then their fate might become more clear at a late date?

There's a link to the reasoning on a banner just under the one about not giving medical advice. It also gives tips about using it.

Thanks @Floss- I did that already before handing them over to Lionel, not thinking that his time was so short. I put off the decision five years ago and now face it again. :)
His research project was doing a new edition of the memoirs of a 16th century Scottish philosopher and historian, and Bishop of Salisbury. It occupied the majority of his retirement.
Exercise class was good, better than I expected. Had some soup and now settling down.

Gers, sadly the whole guide was complete gobbledygook to me 😞 Unusually I did actually read & try to make sense of it 😉

😂 Maybe take one section at a time? And perhaps use the earlier link to make your comments to those who can make the changes. Sorry it wasn't of help. :😓

The whole thing was written by the Tech Person - for a Tech person. It is not intuitive at all. It needs to be rewritten by a normal person for normal people, remembering a number of us are over 50 and many of us are over 70. Maybe we should take a survey of ages to show them.

Morning all
It’s been raining most of the night and more due later, getting fed up with it now.
I’m off to mums today to work she wants me to make her a curry and we might have a trip out somewhere, I have reserved us a place in Lydd Kent for a weekend away in March so I need to show mum today and make sure she likes it but she will just enjoy the change of scene tbh, it’s right on the beach so OH can go fishing and we can take the dogs for walks on the beach I am really looking forward to it.
Dinner tonight will be chicken risotto with some green beans, dd is working late so will eat there. I have a wash on this morning it will go on the airer once done.
I am waiting for a call from the GP today, one of my implants has gone funny a bit hard and out of shape so I phoned the breast clinic and they said I need re referring from my gp so that they can check it out, I did an e consult with the GP explaining this so I’m not really sure why he needs to call when he can just refer me 🤷♀️
Gers I am glad yesterday went ok xx
Coxy are you kind of bank staff where they call you in if they need you ? Maybe it’s time to look for something more regular xx
Have good days all and take care xx5
