Comments (5)Tracy, Mark, Rick, thank you for your kind words. There are good days and bad days, today was good, I was at work and that keeps my mind occupied. Once I can get my broken telephone line and therefore my internet sorted I will be able to stay on-line for more than a few seconds at a time and get something done but it's a slow process!
