THANK YOU

As i sit here typing when did i think that i could type maybe the 2 fingers count I'm not sure i would just like to say merry Christmas and a very Happy new Year to all the volunteers at Neurosupport for their support and help in equal measures.
You may ask what I am doing writing this on Christmas day well why not enjoy the holiday and look forward to the New Year.
A special thank you to Sue who helps me with the newsletter and keeps me in check otherwise I would ramble on as I'm doing now but to Sue thank you once again and for all the voluntees who enjoy our newsletter.

HELP

Is it just me or is technology getting harder.Over the last few months after buying myself a laptop I have been stuck lots of times and I would like to thank all the people who take the time to fill in the help pages that appear in most of the programmes you open these days.
For the last week after trying for what seemed a lifetime about half an hour I was trying to do something that I had been doing for the last 3 years that is using Office documents and copying and pasting the words onto the Blog that you are reading now.
All of that happened on my desk top computer (the kitchen table) using Office 2003 and windows XP but now I have windows 7 and office 2007 surely it would be easier until I found a help comment about a compatible button on my webpage and that will help and yes it did so thank you all those Bloggers and yes this is on Word and copied and pasted I hope and how easy was that and the button can be found next to the refresh button

A POEM AT CHRISTMAS

OUR RESIDENT POET LAUREATE GORDON W. MILWARD JUST SENT ME THIS I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT ENJOY

Remembering Christmas Past
Where have all the old Christmases gone?
A Christmas day and a birth rolled into one
When did we last roast chestnuts on an open fire?
Can you remember the last time you heard a Christmas choir?
Church bells would ring at this happy time
People would wish you the best and life would be fine
Wake up in the morning before the sun
Christmas day would be a bundle of fun
You would feel about for the presents Santa had left
He had put them beside you on the bed where you slept
Times would be hard then but happy we would be
Sitting around a real Christmas tree
The decorations you made hang low from the ceiling
You would be happy with life what a wonderful feeling
Open your presents –football boots and a ball
An apple, an orange, some pennies would fall
Turkeys in the oven a smell to behold
I wish it could stay and never grew old

Oh theses happy times we shared with Mum and Dad
Things can’t stay forever and that makes us sad
Traditions have gone it’s a time of worry
People rushing round, can’t speak in a hurry
Children wanting the biggest and best
Parents are tired they just look for a rest
Central heating is on, no coal for the fire
There’s no ‘Knocker up’ or even a ‘Town Crier’.
