    Mr H has decided that he needs to learn how to use the  internet so I am trying to teach him this morning.  My patience is being tried to the limit.Yell

    I'm impressed and feel your pain. My OH fully conversant with internet and has been since the beginning but refuses to learn online banking. I have just had 'the conversation' with him again . Its his credit card bill that I was paying!!!! If it didn't cost so much in interest I'd leave it to him, but I can't watch others take his hard earned pension, that's my right

    ...Neither of us will have anything to do with on line bankingUndecidedand OH does not "do computers"

    Write your comments here...My eldest brother is like that. He won't have anything to do with computers. All communications have to be sent by snail mail!  He's in his 80s.

    Decided to brave the weather and drive to the gym this pm. There were some very big puddles, many wide ones and stretching across the whole road in some cases. Drove rather carefully thru them - not always able to tell the depth, some places where the road
    has been patched have washed out.

    doesnt help when the wet stuff is falling out of the sky at a rate of knots too.

    Malcolm I can understand that my mother's in her late eighties and waivers, she like to order her shopping online so she can have delivery van like the neighbours; but my brother does her shopping, she phones it through, he delivers. She doesn't have to
    pay for internet and gets same/better service!!! She also moans about the amount if time people spend on screens, have no idea how she knows .  I have an uncle older than my mother who embraces the technology. My OH worked using computers email etc
    and is only in his 60's.

    Both our dental appointments were over at 11:30 this morning and then we headed back to our caravan for lunch. We've had a quiet afternoon with no deliveries to do. So I spent most of it catching up on my sleep. I feel much more refreshed now. Five hours left before we finish work. I wonder whether it will be a quiet evening too or is that wishful thinking?

    We've had the usual for here, flooded ford with marker for depth of water clearly visible, rescue services have to remove pregnant woman and her small child. Makes you wonder about about driving abilities!!! Haven't had too much rain today so far

    Warning on local news tonight, when driving through flood water at two feet deep the cars will float (for a minute or two no doubt....Frown)
    Sorry to see Tarr Steps on Exmoor washed away again, they seem to have re-assembled them countless times. I think we have one more bout of rain and wind and then it should improve.

    Despite receiving a favourable forecast from the BBC only 24 hours previously, for a dry morning up to about 2 o'clock, we awoke to the pitter patter, meaning only one thing. Yep, a lie in!

    Pppppersisted for the morning so van bound when we eventually got up. Did venture outside late afternoon for an Eddie the Eagle type walk up the front at Southport but the horizontal rain drove us homeward. Site was quite busy yesterday but we found out
    that a lot of the stayers were stall holders at the craft fair held over the weekend. Which reminds me,did we ever get a definitive answer from CC about "workers" staying on site or was that another cul de sac of a thread?

    Write your comments here...Yes we did get an answer. The answer was that when on site you are at leisure before you go to work and when you return from work. Also, if you have family staying with you, using the site whilst you're at work, they are at leisure
    too.

    Write your comments here...This is what I thought which is  why I have asked Malcolm to point out where the answer is. I admit the answer could be somewhere but I haven't seen it and all too often when threads are closd for referral no more is heard. Strange
    way to treat your customers.
