    Hi everyone,

    I've missed you all :)

    I have finally sorted out the software and hardware problems with my computer so hope to be back regularly. :thumb:

    It had a really awkward bug that kept freezing my screen and was very good at hiding. In the end I had to reformat the drives after trying to save everything. I then had the usual problem of not having some of the programmes or drivers :mad: as they came preloaded.

    I also found some parts needed replacing but it is all OK now :yho:apart from my lovely 19" screen that is not working properly. It seems as though all it needs is a little bit of wiring sorted out but I'm no good at micro soldering and haven't yet found anyone to do it. So I'm using an old screen.

    I don't think I shall have time to catch up on all I have missed but will give it a go :D

    I'm now working hard at getting the garden ready for the Open Day for charity - details later.

    Have a great time in your gardens :)

    Hi Shiney!

    Great you are now almost sorted out. Computers are brilliant - until they go wrong.

    Fingers crossed that all is well now and look forward to pics of your garden :thumb:

    :wlcm:back Shiney:)

    Sorry to hear about your computer bugs but I am afraid I can't help you there as I know nothing about computer bugs and leave that sort of thing to the family computer expert:hehe:

    I expect you have been doing plenty of this:cutflwrs: and this:mwlwn: getting ready for this day:flwsml:

    and I bet Oscar has been doing plenty of thisk-lk-l

    Give our regards to Mrs Shiney and hope she is also well:luv:
