patsylabrador Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I've got a nice picture I want to use for my avatar but nothing I try seems to work. I'm getting quite frustrated and don't understand why posting pictures on this site is so fiddly especially the avatar. It says it's the wrong number of pixels or the url is wrong but I think they are right. Screamy moment done - I'll persevere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I resized mine on the computer, uploaded it to imageshack and then it should work fine? Let us know if you need any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoid Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 It should work on photobucket.... Do you have the url of the image, I'll have a look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsylabrador Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Hi Fred, thank you. This is the URL and I'm pretty sure it's 80 by 80 pixels but I can't get it right. Although it's come up big so I'm really confused now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluekarin Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 My ED has got an interview with Cambridge uni It's not till 9th Dec, but actually not that far away. She is so happy about it as I think she was getting worried she might not get one (a friend who has applied for the same course had heard already). Looking good for getting one for Imperial College too So very very proud of her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluekarin Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I do feel quite full of pride. I dread to think what I will be like if she does manage to get a place at either of these unis. Probably go bang! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluekarin Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 She is hoping to do physics, which I believe is under the natural sciences bracket at Cambridge. So a nice and easy subject Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alis girls Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Anyone noticed the pink Eglu on the snow with the kids and hens has a lovely fuschia in background in full bloom. I was thinking how clean and slush free it looked Did anyone watch the programme on Sunday night called "Remember me" with Michael Palin in it. Found it strange an old person so keen to go into a home. My elderly dad was staying and watched with me and said "its a bit grim isnt it?" Dad who has mild vascular dementia was in good form. We played 3 games of scrabble as the weather was pants. He was very keen to use a few German words learnt in his time in the RAF. Absolutely not allowed - he won one game so was happy with that.

The Dogmother Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Uuugghhh feeding the dogs this morning, Friday is treat day, so they get either tinned pilchards or fresh tripe; guess who managed to splash some raw tripe down her clothes....? Had to bung them straight in the washing machine, a complete change of clothes later and I'd swear that I can still smell it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alis girls Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I was very cross this morning - I know charities have a tough time - my OH works for 2. I was entering our Tescos and an elderly man working for the local food bank practically rugby tackled me to the ground to give me a leaflet about buying 2 extra bits to donate. OH and I regularly donate to cancer charities (breast and ovarian in memory of our mums) kid, animals, elderly red cross, heart - you get my drift. But I hate agressive tactics. We arent well off, work and play hard. The area I shop isnt the richest in outer London. However it aint the poorest judging with all the alcohol, fags and junk in peoples trollies. I overheard an able bodied young woman in her 20's whining about having to sign on - answer get a job love. Oh I am becoming an old bat - I didnt contribute and wont. I did give some money to the young air cadet bag packing as my sons did it for cubs (and hated it as people were rude) and thanked her - asked her not to squash my eggs and grapes and she didnt. Sorry to moan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
