It has happened again!
My password not being recognised and I have had to sign in every time .
Never know why-
It is very frustrating —-I had  noticed I had made a spelling error but I couldn’t correct it .
Why does this happen ?

All these companies that want us to download their app, you never hear of them offering to give you any extra storage on your device.

I really wish the supermarkets could come up with one single app that accommodated them all.

And because of health issues etc. no Christmas tree etc. this year - all my wonderful collection of glass baubles, dating back over 100 years, will stay dustily in the loft, probably not come out again until.....
Ah well.TY

TY that's a shame. Can you not hang them on something else ? A bare branch or two Some tinsel.Or have I got it wrong and it's the attic access that's the problem.

jimbo50: Problem is getting a "Real" tree located. bought and erected, only then the thought of getting into the loft and lifting down four large plastic "trunks" of carefully wrapped baubles, built up over at least three generations past ours, then checking / fitting/ sorting lights, and then actually unwrapping each bauble, checking then fitting it in place...... used to be at least two nice glasses to do all that, and about 12th night do all in reverse, then lumber the boxes up.....
- And I'm not a minimalist to manage a tasteful bare branch!
Add to which, a couple of lively young cats .... and OH not very well nowadays. Simply no energy to spare.
Viktoria, were you told about not getting too close to some forms of magnets / vibration sources? There's a sort of sludge magnet thing attached to our heating system I was warned to stay away from that area when first I got a pacemaker. And I used to use an electrical engraver quite a lot, with glass, and that apparently isn't good, or microwaves. Check such things out with your medics.

We have to chamber into the loft for our decorations along eith all the things I have collected this year for the fetes and bazaars , our days are numbered clamberiing about, same as getting out of the bath, my days are numbered about that as well but I do consider myself to be reasonably  agile, arm strength is my biggest problem and before anyone asks if I  an lift my right arm  the answer is yes but I don't drink pints!,

Quite a nice day considering  what a horrible day it was yesterday, sun fading  a bit now , I also think it is a bit warmer  my husband doesn't, he is  a chilly mortal.

Viktoria  and who are a bit under the weather i hope they are feeling stronger, nearly 4 weejs Viktoria.

keep warm folks.

Well folks,I have made 30+ attempts to log in!
Have been told that another registered user has my name and password ,so not sure what was wrong,was panicking that I was for some reason being excluded ——-
Finally I am back in.
Makes me realise how much I value RootsChat!

Forgotten now what I wanted to say ——-

I can imagine it is an extremely busy site -and run by volunteers too, so thanks folks for getting me back in .phew!
Was getting withdrawal symptoms !

A strange day ,cricked my neck this morning so vertigo for an hour or more and a bit didgeridoo all day!

Something wrong with my phone, phoned grand daughter this morning to say  Happy Birthday ,no answer,but thought she may be driving .
Nothing throughout the day and I posted her card more than a week ago .
So phoned my daughter but no reply.
Got my son to phone,,seemingly G,D,had tried to phone ,I did last number recall but an unknown number came up, I phoned it and it was an energy company cold calling ,it was after working hours so a recorded reply !
Don’t know what is going on .

Well Andrew is no longer a Prince, what a disgrace .I don’t recall him doing many duties so no loss ,glad The Queen did not have to do it.
But a painful duty for The King .
In fact very few family members seem to undertake duties, Princess Margaret’s children, Andrew’s daughters, Princess Anne’s family ——-

Well it is late and I am back in RootsChat so that is good .
Night night ,Viktoria.

Viktoria, going back to something you said earlier, I think it is outrageous that Tesco charged you for delivery when your order fell below the required level due to them not having items. I think that is atrocious.

I've had problems with Tesco, and they don't even have an email address on their website to complain.  You have to use that awful Facebook thing.

Morning folks.
Glad you are back on track Viktoria   yes, we do miss our computers when things are down, bit like the morning  paper,  sometimes I wonder about a daily paper now with what is going,  this morning our paper hasn't arrived , perhaps they have been updating  the latest news, let's hope now that the papers leave Mr Mountbatten Windsor alone and let him live his life and the royals can continue their duties.

Weather dull this morning  but no rain, hope it stays that way.

Keepsafe, Halloween,  I am in tonight,  doors  and curtains  closed.
