    Hi Janet - juicers are great, I agree!

    I'm sure M&S always used to close on GF and ES - aren't they owned by a Jewish family who observed EAster as a religious holiday? In fact I shopped yesterday assuming that they'd be closed today:confused:

    I've had all kinds of problems with the PC and the lap tops for the last week or so - don't recognise the router, can't find a signal - I assumed in the end that it was caused by the weather:confused: Turning the modem off and on again helped some of the time - in fact OH has just come through with his laptop to say it's happened again:rolleyes:

    No you haven’t. The only time its has an apostrophe is when it is a shortening of it is.

    It was very cute, though a shame it stopped as mother cat got up :)

    Evening all :)

    Afternoon all. Brake pads fixed. The man who teaches mum how to use dad's ipad (he doesn't get a look in) :rolleyes: and her iphone (which she loves now) did them for me, and it only cost £70 Would have cost loads more at BMW. I watched him do it- not such a techy job when you see how it's done :D (still wouldn't attempt it myself) It was good I haven't been driving this last week, as on the side without the sensor it was down to bare metal :eek: luckily only just so, had I been driving I'd have needed new discs as well

    No that one isn’t needed.

    They are used to represent a missing letter as above, or to denote a possessive – Fred’s shoes, for instance.

    People stick them in after dates – the 80’s is incorrect, but if you were referring to 80s’ music the apostrophe is OK, it wouldn’t be if you said music of the 80s. Note the apostrophe is after the s because 80s is plural.

    Simple, a ’ represent a missing letter or the words of the or belonging to.

    There’s loads of misuse of . for omitted letters. Ltd. is incorrect, Co. isn’t.

    Off for a while but I’ll be back.

    Here's a wee song that may help you..........
    Apostrophe (Oh Christmas Tree)
    by Eileen Thorpe

    Apostrophe, apostrophe
    You drive me oh so batty.
    Apostrophe, apostrophe
    Your overuse is a travesty.
    Some people just can’t get enough
    They must think you’re hot stuff
    Apostrophe, apostrophe
    Some rules to avoid catastrophe.

    It’s hers and theirs and yours and its
    when you want to possess a bit
    And when you need to pluralize,
    You don’t need to apostrophize.
    And what of words that end in esess?
    An apostrophe will only make a mess’s.

    I wonder why you so confuse
    I’m sure you’re tired of this abuse.
    Apostrophe, apostrophe
    You drive me oh so batty
    .
    :D

    He is gobbling down the adult food with great enjoyment. The reason teacups get so cold is related to the high surface area to volume ratio - they have the potential to release core heat from a small body volume over a comparitively large surface area. I'm keeping a watch on his weight - he is now a massive 1Kg.

    He sure has. I am deffo in love.

    KOOOOOL- I love that bit of Beethoven!
    I would let him eat as much as he wants. The fatter he is the warmer he will be. Probably.

    Yoga was good, hard but good! OH has a new found appreciation for 'standing on one leg and sh!t like that' :D

    Thai teacher cut lesson short 'cos himself was getting on her nerves, ok, she didn't say that exactly but effectively that's what he was doing! 'Working from home' my skinny @ss:D

    Ach well, it's Friday afternoon, kids will be home soon and neighbour has selflessly volunteered to pour drinks down our throats later. Cheers you lot!

    Why cant we say "it's" as in "it's paw was bleeding"?:confused:


    We went out and bought a load of hideous stuff.
    I got hideous magenta socks. (because i cant have rough seams so never mind the colour)
    Then we got a hideous washed out magenta drainy scoopy utensil because it looks as if it might not melt if its left in the chip pan.
    Then CL got some hideous reading glasses because apparently you cant get number four strength anywhere and who cares what they look like as long as he can see.
    Then we got the most awful horrid grey plastic bin because thats all we could find that didnt cost a fortune.
    Then we had the worst meal EVER. I dont even know where we were because CL was doing one of his creative routes again. It was a "hungry horse" chain pub. Absolutely vile.

    Because that doesn't make sense. (grammatically speaking)

    Don't confuse the contraction it's (meaning, "it is") with the possessive pronoun its:

    It's the first day of spring.
    Our bird has escaped from its cage.

    I'm (I am)
    you're (you are)
    he's (he is)
    she's (she is)
    it's* (it is)
    we're (we are)
    they're (they are)

    Because that would mean 'it is paw' which is incorrect!

    I love your shopping trips - either loads of bargains or loads of vileness! I have some rather hidous socks too, I wear them under boots so who cares. I have reading glasses from Costco, one pair is nice and I wouldn't mind who saw them, the other 5 aren't wonderful but enable me to read small print.

    Had a good day in the garden, had to stay well wrapped up though.

    It’s paw was bleeding is incorrect, its paw was bleeding is right. That one is very confusing but it’s is only used instead of it is, although its paw is a possessive, but it is a personal possessive. The only personal possessive with an apostrophe is one’s.

    I have many years experience editing books and magazines, that’s why I had to learn this stuff.
