I went back to bed for a short time after I'd turned the heating up this morning :-D

I was 'in my forties' once Ginns !!! ;-)

Dea Xxx

I have no idea what went wrong on the other sdie.

I turned off the computer and power for 10 minutes

I logged out, then logged back in

I logged out, googled the site and logged in that way

I turned the computer and power off overnight (as I always do)


no matter what I did, I couldn't get anything.


so I decided to start all over again


now waiting to be invited back to Fred and Genealogy., and have to like the others

Gins....you are in your forties.......so what? Make the most of it girl......sheeeesh. ;-)



That's really strange Sylvs......it IS quiet over there today though as no-one has really been around - or so it seems...... :-S


I've been busy searching again - it does take time cos I'm so slow........ :-(


Linds......glad your OH is okay - they do give us some scares don't they....????

You may have the tv to yourself but, is there anything worth watching?? :-S


Going for a browse round...~~~#

I also hate those kinds of calls ..............

Don't we all Sylvs !!!

How is OH doing in China ??

Any news of S-i-l ??

Dea Xxx

OH is working hard!!

had problems with his first workshop .................

a) they weren't as literate in English as he'd been told they would be, and

b) he speaks too fast!

There were several there who had not officially registered for it ............ so he figured there would be drop in attendees the next day :-D



Haven't heard from sis-i-l since Wednesday evening. I expect I will hear when she has been released from the hospital and is installed in the hotel or B&B, whichever has room.

Off out while the sun is shining ........ although it is only about 6 or 7C


I shall wrap up warm :-D

You may be off out Sylvs.....but I'm off to bed.....night night all ~~~~~

Sylv

No one can invite you as a friend or message you...what have you done to you settings?


Gins

I was in my forties once aswell having a whale of a time clubbing, many foreign holidays, chasing young men....then I hit fifty :-(

Jax


I haven't done anything to my settings, at least not knowingly.


All I did was hit Reload current page, and everyhting except the photos across the top disappeared!


I'll pm you on here

sis-i-l has been released from the hospital, but has to stay in the town until Monday as they await the results ......... so she and her daughter have moved into a hotel.


and OH is off on a weekend trip with a coach-load of tourists. I guess I'll find out later whether it was a coach-load of Chinese tourists or of foreigners!

I've been making sure that I get out in the afternoons while the weather is so good.

Today I decided to go to one of our large book stores ................ I've had a couple of gift cards for months that I thought I had better use. Gift cards do not have a time limit here in Canada .............. that's been forbidden by law, so I had no fear of "losing" the value. But I did want to get a book that came out a couple of months ago.

I was then given a "scratch card" as I entered the store ..... that could give me a minimum of 10% off my purchase

I found 5 paperback books and the pocket diary that OH likes ..................... and the cost was reduced from about $68 down to just over $16 by the time the gift cards and the scratch card were deducted.


Got home ......................... and found that she had only charged me for 4 of the books



so I shall have to go back tomorrow!


We had had a major problem, first of all with the machine where they swipe your credit card, which went to sleep and just sat there. Then that machine was saying everything was approved and my card had been charged ............. but the "till" was saying it hadn't been approved.

Even the manager was called in, but had never seen that happen before!!


I was so glad when it was decided that everything was OK that I did not check my receipt before I left the store.



Fortunately, the store is on the way to downtown, where I was planning to go tomorrow (errr ....... today!), so I can hop off the bus and back on again ................. I'll just be carrying a book and the diary that I didn't intend to take downtown!

good morning all

I hate those machines where you have to insert your credit card, and then punch in a PIN number ......................... more things seem to go wrong that they used to when you handed the card to the assistant and s/he swiped it through their machine!


I'm always scared of not remembering my PIN correctly!




Enjoy your day



I'm just thinking of going to bed :-D :-D :-D
