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) |

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 |

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 |

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 |

Okay, Lara, right click saved file on desktop. Click on 'Rename' and whatever the (dot) extension name is, replace it with (dot) jpg. It will tell you that if you change the file extension, it will become unstable, but you just tell it okay. You should then be able to open it. I'll work on the notepad thingy for you. Good luck, Lew Lew xxx |

Poor Lara, hope you have it sorted now . . . Rebs, just a confirmation that the lovely Ray will be in Brivegas with me weekend after next . . . got his flights confirmed this arvo - he is flying up on Thursday 8th when he gets back from Adelaide - back to Syd on Tue 13th. He will want to come and meet everyone, have lunch with us, on Saturday 10th - but I'm pretty sure he will want to spend some time with our lads in the afternoon. He can be my designated driver! Goes off singing a little song to make Rebs jog her memory Praline flakes are melting in the kitchen Praline flakes are melting in the kitchen Praline flakes are . . . . . cheers luv Laurie |

Poor Lara :-(((. Save your attachments to desktop and change the file name to a (dot) jpg extension. You should then be able to open them. Can't help you with your Word problem 'cause I am using WordPerfect 12 which is brilliant! Lew Lew xxx |
