      Had a very similar experience recently with my daughter and tonsillitis. I'm not supposed to linger in the attic unless I'm alone in the house (so I spend lots of time staring at t'internet in the dining room instead)

      steve22

      Not nice, especially for her. Hope she is soon better once more (and you, your points and feeds are eventually happy too).

      I think you'll be far too busy for even the tiniest micro-layout....

      CovDriver

      I've never tried the Blogg format but I dare say I could give it a go ?

    4. Kelly

      Kelly

      give the blogs a try, they can be easier to follow than the forum posts, which can get too cluttered for my liking with discussion, so hard to follow the actual progress as such. Not to say the discussion is bad though, far from it.

  19. CovDriver
