Yes children do make christmas, pity she will not be down here this year, she and her mum are in scotland seing Caitlins dad.

Yes got fire something. i dont understand computers much, know how to turn it on and get where i want. and thats it. I think i will do another compter course when i move down here. No good starting one up in MK as not there long.

th, what part of Scotland ... don't say if you can't hun, OH Scots. Adore it, have been nearly all over. :))

I'll teach you if you want. To use Firefox go to Desktop, click on it, then click open. In the address bar type in or copy and paste this,

http://www.genesreunited.com

You'll see a message from F'fox asking you if you want it to remember it, click yes. If it asks you if you want it to be your home page, click yes too then you'll be able to go through it each time.

I make Powerpoints and more, use the poota to create 3D cards too. There was a time when I was 'frightened' of the poota but now I love it. Just played around, used my career skills too and wouldn't be without it, always learn something new each day, from my mistakes too. :))

I wished i had come into this long time ago.

I tried and not let it control my life to much. Its something i am always going to have and not going to get any better.

So make most of good days i have. Keep on the move as will only lock up and will have to have everything done for me. Oh no not going to be there just yet if i can help it.

I have never been one to sit about to much, when weather is fine i get out if i can.

At least i know i will only be home for 8 days. then be back down,

My ex husband(we get on now living apart) has said i shouldnt be alone over christmas as with mum gone now. so said i can stay at his, BUT i dont know. As least it will be donw here.

My daughter lives with him so its where i stay when i come down anyway

It only be over the few days of christmas he be here rest of time be at work.

Well done you, sending you such positive thoughts, truly I am.

My brother has a catastrophic head injury, like you I so wish I had been here then, it would have helped me greatly.

So pleased you and your ex hubby are friends, perhaps think on it, tis such a kind offer although I have someone in my family who, although invited to family each Christmas, so much prefers to be on their own, to listen to music, the Queen's speech, also prefers the peace and quiet. Still luvin her though. :))

I'm just thinking th, when you're in MK there are others on the boards who either live nearby or there, if I lived nearer I'd come visit you.

Thank you for that. Yes i would like to be home by myself. Plus have my computer that works

I think i will be at home as least then i can go on here must be others that will be alone and come on here.

If i could drive wouldnt be so bad, ad least if i wanted to pop to see anyone i could.

But i will make the most of it.

Caitlin has just come back, fast asleep.

I was going down to Kew today. But hadnt sorted what i was going to look up out. But going down next thrusday.

I dont know if anyone on board lives in Mk or near it.
