do like the sound of the summer solstice jam!! Which reminds me I bought some cherries the other day!

Welcome to DD, Debs

You need to establish how accurate these are.  You'd probably be better to use a live translation service.

In the UK you would ned insurancethat covered use of car for business and would be quite expensive

Thinks he does but sadly not.  And that's after getting that message loud and clear a year ago from staff via consultants, a year of very expensive 1-1 meeetings with consultant for him and fellow directors, what's changed?  absolutely nothing!

Did you get this all sorted out?  There is a free software avaialble from an Australian company which once downloaded will transcribe almost any format of file and you can slow/speed it up as well as set it to automaticallly rewind a bit.  I use it with a foot pedal and fly through transcriptions.

PM me if you want more details.

As ever, your goals for each year put the rest of us to shame - I think I can safely say that!!!

I'm spurred on by your one craft project a month to say I would like to aim to do at least that this coming year too.  Didn't get nearly enough Christmas cards made as I would have liked, simply because I didn't start early enough.  I spent quite a bit on craft stuff this year and want to make it all work for me next year!

Work stuff, want to do an e-mnarketing course, just trying to sort out what to do

Oh dear!  Maybe I shouldn't have viewed this at work (I have no sound unless I use headphones anyway) but I had to stop myself laughing out loud!!

Great news, what a wonderful Christmas present to yourself!

Have realised it's quite quiet and that's because our American users are on holiday, recovering no doubt from a lovely Thanksgiving dinner yesterday!  Hope you all had a nice break with your families and friends!

I still haven't got round to looking at this.  No speakers at work so will remind myself to look at home later.

echoed by some of us in another post, and from me here too.  Stay safe warm and dry everyone and let us know how you fare.  Hopefully you will not come off too badly if you've battened down and got away to safety / higher ground (not always as easy as it sounds, I know)

Agree Jess, with your comment about career politicians.  After all, if you never do anything else, how can you possibly understand the issues your constituents raise?

I'd also like politicians to vote honestly the way their constituents (who elect them to vote on their behalf) want, rather than what their party wants.  The party whip is too powerful!

well done!

and 2 weeks holiday is a boost.

feeling lots better, thanks Jess.

Enjoy your new life, sounds great!
