I use several computers with different browsers and chrome works best for me. Tried ie9 but had to edit everything so much.
I can stretch my boxes on Fred and on my notes so I can see more than a couple of sentences.

Hello Wall



I've dusted my bedrooms and started on my cards.


I had 3 phone calls whilst I was upended trying to force a wrapped blanked into the cavity under the spare bed. :-|


I've made a Shepherd's pie and I've watched Pointless.


So, how has your day been Wall ?? :-\

Sorry to be late.....but it's Tuesday :-D



Missed breakfast and after all Sylvs hard work! :-(



My ankle seems fine now. I tend to do this sometimes....it's with having very slim and shapely ankles Gins........:P


I know about R.I.C.E. Sylvs, my comment was supposed to be amusing.... :-S



Lovely picture Grace, was her dress white or is it a black and white pic?


Nice to see Persie waving from Over the Rainbow.... :-D



No grandchildren today as it seems they are poorly :-(


Will cheer myself up by dusting the bedrooms and writing my Christmas cards......

Hi all,

Anything exciting happening here tonight?

Thanks for your comments, Gracie is a right cheeky monkey who is luckily sound asleep next to me!

Had to go and get her Christmas photos redone as they did them so far away she was just a dot and the photo's were a bit useless. Luckily everything is digital so it is all fixed now.

OH is in a foul mood, easier to let him sook on his own so am keeping the pc company tonight!

I have just been reading Dan Branch as well.

I don't think he has really "twigged" to what one actually requires....

A system that works satisfactorily with all our browsers within reason....

Not sure why they changed the message centre before fixing all the other problems the site has... maybe IGP knows...

They have been warned over and over again... complaints, lack of satisfaction and it actually seems to fall on deaf ears (or cloth ones)... enhance sure but after you solve other problems...

And besides I created a folder ... put my messages in it... the name of the folder is there but when I go to retrieve it, I get told it doesn't exist... I got worried that one lot of messages had gone with Dorothy down the yellow brick road... but found them by back arrowing... and stealth and cunning...

Myers is okay for window looking nowt else....

Cyns... hope your ankle heals quickly and you get back on the straight and narrow again...

Cheers all

Persie ..

PS I missed exercise class last week, sent him on his own, but I better go tomorrow.. Then off to Rotorua on Thursday.

Off to bed now...

Mornin.............peeing down here but at least its not snow

Thanks for breakfast Sylvs Breakfast Wrap for me :-D

Dea, Ive seen a couple of census c/p on the baords and remember thinking at the time 'what the'...............all over the place it was with huge gaps

Dont think I'll bother with the upgrade

Dea Report 6 Dec 2011 07:36

I can't say I am impressed by that 'Dan' person's answers either Sylvia.

He sounds just like one of those people you get at the 'call centre's' when you ring for help. You know they are just going down their standard list...

"Boot, reboot, try this, try that, go into DOS and do this........ and when they get to the end and it hasn't fixed anything they then always tell you that you will need to 'uninstall' everything and 're-install' and leave you to it!

You know that it won't work as that is what they told you to do before !!!

Anyway, whatever you do - DONT upgrade to IE9 ! Have you seen what it does to your 'copy and paste's' of info from census's? When you paste them on here they are spread out all down the page, making them totally unreadable!

Gracie looks like a right cheeky monkey Grace

So Lovely at that age, then they become teenagers :-D I bet christmas is fun though?

Is that shop in Melbourne? if so I may have passed it in 1982 but not at Xmas.
I had a look at the hotel they put the I'm a celebrity contestants family, plus them when they came out in... over £200 a night The Royal Pine Resort its on the Gold Coast...looked lovely

So boring on here I was playing with my tree and have only just realised why I could'nt find my ancestors on the 1851...and they were not Mancunians
Hatfield Broad Oak and Takely Essex are one of the ones missing aswell :-(

Morning all.

Sorry to hear about your ankle Cynthia hope it feels better soon.

Have changed my pic to one taken of my monster at the wedding on Friday. I hope the photographer on the day got some good shots because he didn't strike me as particuarly interested in children!

Weather has warmed up a lot this week, am off tomorrow to have a day in the city with my sister and my niece to look at the Myer's Christmas windows and try to do a bit of shopping. We always did that when my sister's children were little up to when they became teenagers, it is nice now to have Gracie and my niece is due in January so we will have babies again soon

:-) :-)

Hope you all are having a nice night/day
