Bags the first with a cat! Tilly in a bag when she was a kitten. We didn't put her there - she just had a fascination with plastic bags - still has!

Looks more like a postage stamp to me....!

PS How's the treatment going ? (and you can report on both the medical side as well as the kissing side, if you like...)

Thanks for asking Tim, had a few wee blips over the past week but back on track to give the nurses grief again.

I keep them entertained with poems when I'm upto it which they are threatening to frame and mount on the wall. :oops:

Still not used up all my kisses yet and I'll have more to come when I've finished collecting my side of the fund raising, it's a hard life :?

Hi Gary,

Good to hear you're coping with everything they throw at you...

Which reminds me....I still haven't "given" to the nurses donation page...mainly coz no-one from the organisers replied to me as to what happened to the donation I made originally....

I'll take another look at the website and also see if I've been docked any money from my cc account.

EDIT: All sorted now...they hadn't taken any money from me...so made a donation now...!

regards

Tim

Maybe...but the latest build (5.10.18 ) of BOINC Manager has done away with the "B" and now has some yellow dot with 4 legs coming out of it....

Coz BOINC now has a new logo....!
