Oh woe is me!

What a day I've had so far. I got up full of good intentions; make 3 challenge cards, crop photographs for the naming day invites, convert some of the files for our man CD to PDF, a bit of weeding........

I turned the computer on first things to check my emails and have a little blog hop with my morning coffee. My monitor was dead as a Dodo! I did all the necessary checks, loose wires, fuse etc, nothing but black screen and total silence :o( Of course there is no warranty left on it!

Off I go and do the 14 mile round trip to the computer store to see if I can get a new monitor. Get myself a bargain, clearance line at very reasonable price. Gets home, plugs it in, works great but everyone is little and fat like me, and there is no sound. I can cope with little and fat, been like it for years, silence I do not like. Took it back to the shop, turns out that it had no sound capability! Paid another £27 and bought a replacement and double/triple checked it was "wired for sound". It was thank goodness, but everyone is still little and fat. No doubnt I will get used to wide screen eventually and who knows, I may even find out how to make it normal size. In the meantime here I am with nothing done, no cards, no cropped pics, no files converted. Methinks I had better hi-tail it to the craftroom and see what I can come up with.
