An iPad each? My goodness, how very 21st Century! Soon you’ll be telling us that you’ve saved everything to ‘The Cloud’! :-D

To be honest, we do look at them in the shops, but when it comes down to it, much prefer to use a mouse rather than puddle around with a finger. Our son-in-law keeps trying to drag us out of the Ark, with little success so far. The lap top we have (which OH uses when I’ve hogged the PC) is ancient, but while it still works, he won’t replace it with a newer version.

To say ‘Enjoy the service’ isn’t really appropriate, but at least it might give you the opportunity to catch up with old friends and acquaintances, while at the same time supporting your friend.

iPad :-P :-P :-P :-P. To much fiddling about for me. I tried H's and gave up ,sticking to my lappy thanks. Mini Gooners use it and have no problems they must think I am completely stupid but I don't care ;-)

ipad is off for the time being, waiting for one of the boys to come to help, I cant even understand the manual. I always struggle with new thingamajig’s, but get there in the end.

The service was excellent, a wonderful tribute to an extraordinary lady. Lovely funny and very honest stories, and memories shared during the service from her Children and grandchildren, and would you believe it ? a message read out from Cliff Richard :-D :-D she adored him, during the buffet and fellowship after the service they played Cliffs CDs. So DET I think I can say it was enjoyable. I am off now to watch the Rugby. Have a good day everyone.

Evening all.

Another busy day!! Cleaning, washing, shopping and some more sanding!! And I got caught out whilst I was covered in dust with a visit from son, dil and 2 gds!! It was an enjoyable hour even though they didn't go till 7pm and I hadn't eaten, so I have been naughty and nipped to the fish'c'chip shop.

Mmm, IPads. Dil has one and both gds have the mini. They get on with them well and I was considering one when the lappy gives up the ghost to save me having to bend over the coffee table all the time, but I'm not sure that they are good for using to type like we do on here. At work our clients have problems completing forms if they are using an IPad. Much more thought needed!!

I have been sitting down tonight too LG, ready for another busy day tomorrow.

I have to drop some pocket money off for the gds as they are off to Scotland next week during half term, and I also need to get some sort of special plaster filler from son!! He came u with the advise that I needed to progress further with the bathroom!! With a bit of luck I might get it finished within the next two weeks :-D :-D

That will be good. I have loads of decorating to do but not the inclination to do it :-D. Trying to turn all the rubbish out of the house at the moment. Kitchen is done but now needs a really good clean the walls and ceiling are really grubby.

I've loads of cleaning to do, LG. Everything was spic and span at the start of the New Year but all this sanding has created a layer everywhere!! There is no point washing things down until I have finished.

I am really cross with myself tonight because I have broken a small china ornament that belonged to my grandmother. I was extremely fond of it and have lovingly looked after it since Mum died and I inherited it. It was on the bedroom windowsill and I had a cardigan hanging there over the radiator. Caught it with the sleeve whilst turning the cardigan round to air off. :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-(

Sorry YG I got side tracked and missed you. Oh what a shame it is awful if you break something with great sentimental value :-(.

Nite nite sleep well, catch you tomorrow I hope <3

Sorry to hear you've broken an heirloom, and you can't even blame the fur! At least the unexpected visit from the family would have partly made up for it.

Paul - Good to hear that the Service was cheerful and she had a good send off as it were.

Don't worry about the decoration LG - you've been doing a good job at the mucking out and thats one step towards it :-D
