	Jax All computers come with wordpad usually found in Accessories. It works like a word processor but doesn't have as many functions. You can copy and paste into it or just type a note. I upload photos using the upload photos tab on facebook. Just play, you will soon realise it is a completely different experience to the 70's and 80's. Computers are so user friendly these days

	Sags against door........ staggers to chair........ flops down with head hanging back........ reaches out for tissues......... WAIL........... Am fed up. Spent over an hour on phone to ISP at teatime whilst trying to cook meal for everyone. I got them to call me back as I object to having to pay phone costs when the fault is not mine. Seems like the spiel I got on Saturday was not right.......have been given another load of info.......ja...x you would go into meltdown, trust me. Anyway, I have to make a decision as to whether I am staying with them or not but when I look for advice on other providers, it's very much swings and roundabouts.....some offers seem good but have drawbacks etc.etc. Gulps for air..... Anyone making a coffee......????? looks pathetically around.

Good news in our households for about the first time this year..! Do NOT get sky...They are c**p...I am with Plusnet and very happy with it,but it does cost 14.99p a month for unlimited time and no phone etc,but REALLY fast.

Member Since: July 2008 Posts: 18 042 Send Message	Oh Fans - there was something about him in our local paper - apparently he broke his back in three places but was standing reading a map when the rescuers got there! Someone must have been watching out for him!

	ouch my sympathies to him. mc even dressing gown is difficult as i would not be able to fit sling over thick sleeves. i have taken a leaf from womens lib today though.

Member Since: July 2008 Posts: 18 042 Send Message	Fans, would like to hear about the funeral. LK - don't do any jogging on the spot! Cynthia - agree with Ginny, never had probs with BT. Ja...x do you have a camera on mobile phone with bluetooth? that's quick and easy if your puter is bluetoothed?
Member Since: December 2004 Posts: 24 447 Send Message	Dea	Report	1 Feb 2011 20:49
	Yes please Fans!! Oh LK - that sounds SO painful - I bet you cried !!! I expect OH also cried, knowing that he had hurt you so much !!! (unintentionally, of course)! Men are just so 'clumsy' at these sorts of things! Can you not just put on the dressing gown over the sling and leave the sleeve dangling or tuck it inside with the sling ?? You need trousers and big jumpers that you can wear over the sling !!! Dea Xxx
