There are some people who buy themselves a new piece of equipment and play with it until they have sussed on how it works and are happy.
Some people buy a new piece of equipment and read the instructions from cover to cover while playing with their new toy.
MIL buys a new piece of equipment, in this case a digital camera, then brings it round to me to show her how to use it!
However it didn't come with an SD card, which she has now gone home with, and yes though it has an internal memory, I couldn't seem to get it set up so that it stored images on the SD card rather than the internal memory. Mind you I was trying to do this while her son showed his friend, the buildre, round the house to get even more ideas for extension/house rebuilt by the sounds of it, with me grunting every now and then everytime a question was asked of me!
What makes me laugh is she has no idea what she is buying let alone how to use it. It isn't simple. I don't even think the software that comes with it will work on her computer, as her computer is older than mine is - have an awful feeling Windows may need an upgrade 
Still she has gone away for now happy, determined to take some pictures over the hills tomorrow where no doubt I will get a frantic phonecall as she tries to look at the pictures via her computer!
Now I have just finished updating my sons cv as my friends daughter says there is a saturday job going where she works so he thought he may as well apply for it - a little bit of pocket money rather than waiting for me and his father to sub him when he goes out! I am rather dubious about this, I only hope it doesn't interfere with his GCSE's but he assures me otherwise!
Right bed is calling, feeling really tired now!
nite, nite
hugs xxxx
