I�m struggling with the Anna one! On the phone actually means making or taking a call, whereas we need to say she has not got a landline yet. I am not sure how to express that with on. |

Thank you Lynn and Bruce for your kind comments. You both did the heavy lifting again, as per usual. This site would not be the same without you. I am sure that I am saying what everyone has been feeling, as I thank you both for your generosity, guidance, and continous friendly help.
