MizT pay as you go - just the way I like it & do it, if I can't afford it I wait until I can or I just don't have it. Yeah I've learnt a lot from this site re shrinking, uploading etc not tried the notes yet though

Lee - good move keeping everyone working seperately - what a mass of projects!
Tricia - all my money goes to materials, too. Mike loves the film "Money Pit" because he can SOOOOO relate!
Bean - how was the MIL today?

I know...we always miss each other.
She is pretty in pink, isn't she. Hope MizT uses pink in her new avatar..she quite excelled herself with Vici's

Ohhh I almost had TOPPs and didn't even know it...duh!

Did I just go ove the TOPP ?? first time EVER

HI BEAN good to see you. thank you for the kind words, but if you knew how easy the making of the avatars really is. Ok, it can get confusing all the moving the files about. I still have one step I keep forgetting and get frustrated when I try at that point to do something I cannot do in that application!

Hubby was listening to what I was having to do, and he said he had seen a free ware program that might do it all, and i not have to move it about so much and save it as this and export it as that. Nice of him to think about me and hope he can find this program again.

Hi Vici...I'm about to hit the shops and come home via the hospital.... it is cold outside and I keep finding excuses to put it off!! Have had my coffee, had lunch.... not many other excuses I can come up with now

Didn't even know we were close. Yeah MizT Mama in pink - you did such a good job with mine I love it

Good shopping, Bean - bundle up - hoping MIL is awake and aware today.

Lee, that is my thinking also, if I cannot pay for it now, wait till I can or do without, or find a way around it. We love looking for things on sale, yesterday i got fittings for my custom closet, and I am most happy at the price we paid! Drawer units and cubbies, and hubby will add shelving to fit the area. I now have an idea how I want it configured, and I should make a drawing of it tomorrow!

Well done on the TOPP Lee.
Tricia let us know if he finds the program again.
i should get the digital animator in the house to give me some lessons!!

Tricia - that closet sounds fabulous

Well must go now & put dinner on - having Spanish Chicken Hotpot - so need to get it into the Slow Cooker . Nice chatting to you all

BEAN, I have been following your MIL's saga, and thinking of the both of you. I do hope she is getting better and more aware each day. so many things can cause severe confusion in elderly, it is difficult to find the cause at times.

I spotted Win in the chat room but it is so crowded I think it best I keep out of there...or I will never get out of the house.
Catch you all later. Bye

Lee, that sounds good, may I come to dinner?

VICI, the reference to WIN, do you know that story? She is in Myanmar and was in the huge cyclone. She has shared her experiences in chat.

Yeah I'm still here MizT & you'll all invited - I'll just grab one of CynB's chooks & add it to the pot sure she won't mind seeing its for a good cause SUDUKO FRIENDS

BEAN, just go! get it over with, then you can come home and get warm again! If it is after lunch, it is not going to get much warmer outside you know! Your bossy big sister has spoken!

Hello to all of my SA FRIENDS! The last few months have been a bit crazy here. Once in a while I think I might find a few minutes and get caught up, but after this long, I'm afraid that's hopeless. We were away for a bit, have had computer troubles off and on (more ON than off), were blessed by a new granddaughter, have had months of sciatica, physical therapy for my knees, waiting until mid-September for back specialist appointment, started seeing an acupuncturist to try to get some relief from the worsening sciatica (both legs now), hubby got sciatica and is now in physical therapy, and have had visitors. I think that's most of what's happened. I have missed all of you SO MUCH. I'm hoping to get back here (at least occasionally) in August, but don't have much hope for the coming week. GREAT BIG SUDOKU HUGS TO ALL OF YOU!

Looking at all the name avatars on this page, can anyone tell my fovorite colors??

HI JULIE, and boy it sounds like you have been put through a bad time! Glad you got to drop in and do hope things start to look up for you soon. We need some topsiders back, too many are absent at the moment. Good to see you again, and get better, you and hubby both. we will be here when things settle down for you.

Congrats on the new baby girl, Julie...sorry to hear aobut you and hubby's sciatica woes. Acupuncture has helped me trememdously - but went through a few until I found a very good one.

MzT - PURPLE!!!!

Thanks, MizT! We haven't had any earth-shattering events, just a pile up of small things that combine to rob me of my time visiting all of you here.

By the way, can anyone explain to me what's the friend thing on our pages? I've been away too long and am out of the loop. I just thought we were all friends.

Isn't past your bedtime, MzT??? It's past mine! So I'm signing off now. Big hugs to you all

Afternoon all!

Hi, Vici! Thanks for the baby congrats! Either I am at least partially brain-dead these days - or maybe you are one of our newer SA friends. If that's the case, Welcome!

Good night, Vici! I was thinking it was late for MizT also. Good afternoon, Suzy! I like your new avatar! (At least, it's new to me -- I've been away so long.)

Canuk Greg said it best Julie - an address book of cyber-buddies!

Night Vici

Julie, friends lets you have a group of your contacts where you can both see when they are online and where you can easily click to get to thier pages.

Yes we are all friends, and you can check back several pages to hear ( read) a big discussion about what friends are , On EASY that is, and why we need this. I just asked you to be my friend, so now you can see how it works, Just go and click accept or decline.

It is new Julie. MizT just made if for me a couple of days ago... Isn't she clever?

I'm just home from netball. Ally's team lost but they played very well! Only one more canteen duty and one more game in the Saturday league, but twilight starts very soon too.

yes, Vici is a newbie that jumped in with both feet about a week ago, and now wwe cannot imagine SA5 without her!

Yes, past my bedtime but it is easier to help WRITE all these pages than go back and read them later,, heheh. Besides hubby is still working, so I am not keeping him awake or something.

NITE VICI, and Hello Suzy. Did Ally tell you I left a message on her page?

No MizT, but I'm not sure she's been online since she posted yesterday. We had bowling last night and netball this morning so she's been pretty busy...

I am getting sleepy, think I shall toddle off to my bed. sorry to leave good company, but I've been here an hour or so.

Suzy, hope it was OK to send her a message, just another of the same type others have sent, bullies have been around for the three generations I have been involved with schools, smile, you will feel better and others will wonder what you are up to kind of thing.

Catch you all on the flip side, good maeN!

Hi all.

Night MizT

I think it was wonderful you sent her a message! It really helped her to see the number of people who have experienced bullying and to see the hugs and wishes sent her way!
