How do you get the quotes to say who actually said it in the first place??? I don't believe everyone types in "Originally posted by so-and-so" every time!

I joined you. Didn't do any of my list but dusted and wiped a door, some skirting, the banisters, stair trims and some paintwork.
However I have now wiped of half the paint from some walls!!!:eek:

Pigpen -help, what did I do? I only used fairy liquid and water on a flannel and wiped the walls but it came away covered in paint and you can see on the wall where I did it! I wouldn't mind but we rent this house.
That will teach me to try things that weren't on the list!!

Erm, you click on "Quote" and it does it by its self, provided you don't alter it or type anything in the bit you are quoting or delete any part of it.

Lovely and peaceful here now as two are out! One playing quietly as not been annoyed. Just caught up with SiL on the phone for 45 minutes so need to have a quick wipe around in the living room before going to get them back.

Polly I forget how old your youger two are? I fear I have years of this yet as DS1 is only 14

mudbath - I asked about your Dad was that what you was going to tell me?

Just got a text from my older sister (half, we didn't grow up together she lives up north)
congratulating me on my upcoming wedding! I did email her months ago but she must not have got it. Didn't invite her or my other half sister as they would have to come 300 miles for a tiny ceremony and no reception. Got me all depressed now though as although I have a huge extended family and OH's family down here I hate having sisters I never see or hear from. They both have kids similar ages to mine and it's a shame they won't grow up together.

Anyway, must do more flying
Must put washing in the TD, hate it but it's raining so got no choice. Also have to wash covers from white sofa as it's gross at the moment.

HHC 14.30 to 15.00 anyone??

I copy and paste the text into the reply box, then highlight it, then click the button that looks like a speech bubble, and it comes out like this...

hugs nicki, you are doing really well and tears are better out than in. Put on a weepy film and you and DD can watch it together and then you can have a cry at the movie and so not upset Dd. I recommend something like Bambi or Dumbo, they get me going every time.

They are now (DS2) sorting washing into correct rooms as I am beginning to lose the plot on that one and (DS3) building some more cheappie shelves. My role today is managerial. In other words I tell them what to do and they do it!

We have had HHR (row), HHSD (slamming doors and shouting), HHS (Strop), HHC (cry). The last one was me, but now I am back in charge I feel much better. 6 foot 2 inches squaring up to you can be a teeny bit worrying but don't tell them that.

I can't post my list as my mouse won't let me copy and paste, but we have reached level 3 both days.

Down at the bottom of each post there are 3 buttons, they're blue.

Click on quote then you can quote someone's words. You can select and delete some of it but don't delete the word quote.

Mind you I can't double (or use multiple) quote like our glorious leader the sacred Pigpen (any more of those doggie bikkies left?) - and I did try!

It took me 4 goes to do this :coffee:
