Well as you can see I now have an internet connection again BUT my 'puter is running sooooo slowly that it is driving me round the bend!! It looks as though we're going to have to try and invest in a new tower as there are just soooo many problems with this one. It's taken me almost 15 minutes just to connect to GardenStew and post this message. 
Frank and Toni I'm sorry but I won't be able to moderate the forums for the time being as everything is just stuttering along here but I will be back again just as soon as I can.
Thanks everyone for all your messages  I'm REALLY missing each and every one of you. 
There is at least something that is keeping me sane at the moment and that's looking at my garden.  I have snowdrops galore, crocus, miniature iris and daffs as well as hellebore and primroses all adding colour and we haven't had rain for four days now!!  However, I still can't get out there to do much as the ground is frozen solid.  It certainly looks as though spring has sprung early for us here in Scotland. 
I'll be back as soon as I possibly can so until then I'll just wish everyone who is having, or has had, birthdays, anniversaries, births etc all the very best.
Take care all.
Lots of love to you all.

Bummer Eils, sounds like you have one very sickly computer on your hands. Hope you get the gremlins out of it very soon.
At least your garden is not affected by the computer flu 
Best of luck!

Missing you on the stew Eileen!
My computer has been extra slow lately and I know exactly what you mean by "it is driving me round the bend!!" It has been taking forever to load pages and is getting so frustrating...

And to think of all the photos you could have shared of those lovely, little spring beauties! Get it fixed soon and hurry back, Eileen, please.

Before I got my computer I had to go to the library. Sometimes you have to wait in line to use those. I hope you get your new one soon, Eileen. I hope you with the slow ones get speedier, too. dooley
