    Thank you for the welcome. It will take me quite some time to find my way around everything but I will get there.

    It's quite intuitive when you get used to it.😀

    Hello Hannah Unfortunately it is not one of my better days but can only hope that tomorrow might be a better day. Thank you for the welcome and for asking.

    Oh no I'm sorry to hear it's not a good day :( I hope you are resting!

    When I have rough days I tend to lean towards catching up on some movies, reading or researching my family history and just take it easy. Do you have anything you like to do?

    Hi Hannah Yes am taking it easy resting and later if I feel up to it I will paint my nails which is what I enjoy doing. May I ask a question please. I noticed that there seems to be lots of different titles under people’s names is it possible to explain them to me. Thank you 
    For example under my name it says community member and under yours it says pioneering.

    Oh very nice! Have you got a colour in mind or a design idea?

    Thank you for the explanation. I only joined yesterday so am still a newbie and have a great deal to learn. I currently have pink nails but am thinking of changing them to blue ones later although purple is my favourite colour hence the user name purple nails.

    I hope you come over to Coffee Lounge, it's where we have general chit chat, debates and play games :) Ooo!  blue sounds nice, like a pastel blue for spring?

    Hi Hannah Yes I will come over to the coffee lounge and join in some games at some point. Meanwhile I am still finding my way around the site. There certainly is a huge amount of information on here. I am feeling much better today and after a few chores will be painting my nails a lovely pale blue.

    That sounds great @Purplenails, I painted my nails last week, and they are already chipping! Also, welcome to the community from me :)

    Hi Alex Thank you for your welcome. Due to a multitude of health conditions I am limited as to what I can do but I can do my own nails and enjoy doing so. What colour are yours.?
    I try and do mine once a week. Barry M Nail paints are excellent as they do seem to last longer than others regards chipping. They are also cheaper and vegan.

    A sort of dusky pink/brown, 'Highland mist' it's called :) I'll definitely bear that in mind @Purplenails.  

    I understand, with my CP it means the process can be very fiddly and frustrating without help :D I just fancied it last week!
