	well I went to switch my lappy on this morning and zilch no log in screen. So it looks like it's dead. OH is taking it down to PC hospital now and going to try and rescue my hard-drive at least but is not holding out hope for the lappy. lol Mary I did suggest that he gets the new one and I get his old one. I did use the your dog but that didn't quite work. Fingers crossed that at least the hard-drive is working. please please. Thanks for all suggestions ...

	How about a wipe over the keyboard with one of those wet ones that are meant for computers, there is also a keyboard spray.... this might get rid of the stickiness from the honey. Then it might just might become mobile again. Otherwise I am with Sandie, use your wiley ways .... ignore Sue this is not her thread. Our IT person was picking away at his keyboard one day when it had jammed - he had dropped one of his noodles in there from the day before's lunch and it had dried and caused a malfunction. So it can happen to anyone. Persey

	Uzzi~~ Yours probably needs a burial ! As Foggy said keyboards are cheap as chips ! We have a few spare if you are desperate, wired or wireless , take your pick☺☺ Hope you haven't damaged your processor , mine is upright and way away from the keyboard, if I had an accident the printer below may suffer:( Sandie.
