Lara, just a thought, and not that I want to read your personal mail, but if you try to send the letter to me as an attachment, I'll try to convert it to a rich text format and that may work. Lew x

I'm baaaaack! Hi Wafflers Mark replaced the battery and now I have correct date and time. I've put 3 photos of the work in progress, with the bath, on Photos-page. We have to get some aquarium safe silicone tomorrow for the plug then the bath goes in the hole. Next job will be the rocks around it then the plants in it. It's a bit of a long job as Graeme can only work on it one day a week. Hi Joodles....I know you're getting bored but just try and rest. The scarfe sounds nice...what a lovely thought. Lew Lew...any luck with the cats? btw....you might have to get Geshtu a blanket. Wearing JUST a loin cloth and a bow tie....he might get cold, poor lamb. Vonny....STOP SCRATCHING....it'll nefer get better if you do that. Laurie....yaaayyy...we get to meet the lovely Ray. Looking forward to it. Lara....when you use your lap top is it on battery or pluged into power? (says she being very knowledgeable about batteries) Some times when I use Mark's on battery it turns it self off after about an hour to conserve power. The first time it happened I thought I'd broken the bloody thing. It goes into 'hibernation' as it says on the screen. I'll be back later. I'm expecting a visit from my nephew shortly. He's coming to pick up payment for the bath....a bottle of Wild Turkey....cheap price for a 60 year old cast iron bath lol. See you all later. ~~~~~~waves to everyone. Trifley XX

Trifley muh deah! You shoulda asked your Nevvie to bring you some bottles of Sherry as well ... duh I didnt think one would use a laptop on battery unless it was absolutely necessary. .. I always plug mine in to electricity .. always. .. I hate it when they go into hibernation tho, I never know which button to press .. bloody things! Well, Im off downstairs to see what I can find to eat, probably soup and toast, and maybe some fruit. Jood

Lew, forwarded Lara's email on to see if you can open the wretched document. I can't Jood

Hi Joodles I've used Mark's on the kitchen bench while I make my coffee. It was too difficult to crawl under his desk to get to the plug....hence on battery. Now when I use it he sets it up for me in the lounge and I play while I watch TV. It annoys Graeme 'cos he can't understand how I can do both things at once heee heee. Trifley (X^x)

Jood, honey, I didn't get the email. Send it again please and I'll see what I can do. LL xxx

Morning everyone :-) Nice to see my raindance worked last night and some of you got some rain pmsl :-) I'm going to be spending a couple of hours in a darkened room with Hugh Jackman later so that should be fun ;-) *waves to all* Juliexx

Morning Cat. Did you have a nice sleep? Purrrrrr. Lew Lew x

Yes thank you Lew :-)

I'm very happy, Cat. Now all I have to do is try and catch those couple of abandoned kittens outside my office and I'll be happy. I can then send them to a special farm to live. Lew Lew xxx

Sounds nice :-) I do hope you catch them. Can't be long before you retire now, have lost count of the sleeps lol.

Lew what kind of 'special farm' ...lol Hi Julie, say Hi to Hugh for me. On the subject of celebs. my daughter has just messaged to say she had to look after Alan Alda on the plane from NY to London today, very excited. Jude2

Sorry Lew, I went and had dinner after I sent it to you, have emailed it again. Jude

Trifley - is it possible to leave the lead plugged in all the time, I do that with my camera lead, and usd lead, to save me crawling on the floor, also mobile phone etc, so I just reach over the plug them in. Might not be practicable for you though Jood

Hi Jood, did you make something healthy or cheat???? Not that I'm checking up on you or anything, just making sure you're looking after yourself..lol (sounds like an ad)

Jude I remembered I had the remains of some tinned tomato soup, so heated that up with toast, and about to eat some fruit. Jood

Just popping in briefly. have any of you lost your contact lists? Mine went AWOL a week or so ago. (it's a programing problem) Just thought I'd tell you that Elaine had a good tip on general. If you can still access the contacts page with the headings then click on date and your contacts might come back. :) It doesn't work for everybody but I got some back. ~~~~~~~~~Vonny

I gotta tellya Wattlers, my grandgirls 6 & 7 are visiting Tassie with their Mum & Dad at the moment, and yesterday they went to Beaconsfield. ... I can just imagine the excitement when they get back to school for 'News'!!!. ... They also went to Seahorse world, which I didnt know existed, and I believe they are going to buy some Seahorses when they get home! Just a bitta trivia! Vonny .................. Honey Rum had the same problem Jood

Hi Vonny, just checked mine and they are still all there but on one of the other threads I think someone said theirs had been missing for about 10 days. Oh Jood I love seahorses and apparently they are the new trend in tanks Jude2

Evening all Brrr it is cold here today, hope it is cold in Cairns lol, only cause parents have escaped the cold. We didnt get as cold as Lew (I think) with -? but we had 0 last night only 13 today already it is 5 again going down to 0 tonight. I went out today to get warm, it was nice in the sun sitting in the car, or in the shops, but cold everywhere else. I have forgot to use word as I read the messages and too lasy to go back over messages. Hope everyone is well. Lara have you worked out your email yet? Not that I have any advise. Joods good to see you coming along well. Stay warm and build your strength back up. Trifley went to have a look at pics and couldnt find them, may been looking on the wrong photopage. Cheers Sue
