Glad you finally got some proper medicine and hope you will not develop an allergy. Did you have a word with your Dr re. the other day?

Rusty, the day has remained brilliant throughout - not a single cloud in the sky, but very cold even in the sun. I noticed that the days are getting longer - did not close my shutters until 6pm and it was not dark yet - just getting that way. I noticed even more because of such a clear day.

Back to sub-zero temperatures tonight, and sunny in morning with frost; but due to rain (a bit) in afternoon and temps will rise slightly.
We too are due to reach double figures temps Saturday onward, with some sporadic showers, but the sun should be with us most days.

Hi, Ros!
Thank you for solving this particular conundrum! I was at a loss to comprehend what could have happened.
I knew that I was being treated as a "guest" and hadn't signed up for an account.
I wonder why that wasn't explained?

Hi, Rusty!
Well, now we know about PayPal, as Ros has very kindly explained the situation.
it was beginning to worry me a bit!
You hear so much of people being "diddled " online, don't you?
My daughters do all their banking online, as of course , do so very many other people! I don't have much money from which to be parted (!) but could never bring myself to risk banking online!

It doesn't feel any warmer here, not to me at any rate. Still fine, though.
Have you got anything nice arranged for tomorrow?

Hello, Elle!
Well, Rosalind's post has helped to unmuddy the water.
I have never had a problem with eBay or PayPal.
If I choose something on eBay, I do a couple of clicks and that is it ordered and paid for, and emails confirming that.
Works very well.
