Thank you all for your very kind words. I took a day off yesterday as I was just so fed up with it all. I have regrouped and am deploying the trick @MyrtleLion suggested. It's very clunky, and makes general reading of the site difficult, but I will focus on this thread and do today's. Until, I guess, they find another way to hinder me.
Actually, it was quite surprising how much extra time I had yesterday in which to do Other Things!
