    Did you manage to track down a large calculator? They have massive ones in Sports Direct for £3.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)

    Beanie - re gmail - if you click on the little black arrow at the end of where it says inbox, you can choose to have unread emails first, try that.

    I am exhausted with the ongoing extended clan gathering :rotfl:
    Had to have a snooze yesterday afternoon.
    DS was rather worse for the wear last night :beer::beer::rotfl:
    I came home quite early as I was driving & not drinking:A

    Out today for a lovely pre birthday lunch with a couple of my very lovely friends.
    I am so lucky to have such lovely friends :)

    Hi Beanie - rubbish the amount of falls you are having - take care. I admire the way you get up and get going again every time. It made me really apprehensive after I fell but I thought of you and made myself get out there again.

    What colour doors have you ordered.

    Family reunion sounded lovely too

    Take care

    Milan~~Have to be honest and say I find the falls more and more difficult to deal with.
    Hey ho.

    The doors are white on one side & mahogany on the other.
    Hopefully will be here soon.

    On a happier note I got a very lovely caterpillar birthday cake today & a bottle of Ediburgh gin ~~the raspberry one~~:drool: :drool:
