In what way???????

well...from my point of view...I was surpised to get my first star when it happened..had a vague idea that I may be due for the second one when it happened and had sussed out how to get get the third one and was pleased in a way I can't quite put my finger on. And I really wanted the 4th star.


The fifth one is so far off that I'm not that bothered.

Yet if I lost my stars I'd feel kind of naked...how would you feel if all stars were scrapped?

is it me or do the stars we have against our name define us more than they really should?

Hey Bismarck,

In my case - absolutely

Only 2 boxes of chocs & 1 box of shortbread to go ...:rolleyes:

Clio - they're all yours but I'm keeping the cheese & smoked salmon

Doubt it would bother me.

But while they are there, I want another one.

Hi everybody.


Over the last few weeks we have had a number of "troll" attacks on the boards.

What is a Troll? A troll is a person that posts deliberately provocative, nasty or hurtful comments on threads. They may be a person with no previous connection to the board or someone that has created a pseudonym to get their point made.

If you should get a comment made on any thread you post asking for help and advice please realise this comment is not directed at you personally.
We really are all a lovely bunch here (oops, modest, sorry) so please ignore these nasty comments and continue to post here as normal.

what should i do if i get a comment made on my thread?

firstly do not respond to the comment as this invariably is what the person wants. At the bottom of the post, on the left hand side is a red "warning" triangle. Click this and then "send" the message that comes up. This will report the message to abuse who will review it's content and delete it.

The person we had this morning was particularly vile and nasty and please believe me is an extreme rarity here.
Above all PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE THE BOARDS. THIS SITE IS AN ASSET TO SO MANY, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT FEELS THE WORLD IS FALLING IN ON YOU. THERE IS SUCH A WEALTH OF ADVICE HERE TO BE HAD THAT THE COMMENTS OF ONE MUST NOT DETER YOU FROM AVAILING YOURSELF OF THE KNOWLEDGE HERE!!!!

It is testament to the work that martin has done and continues to do that so many people give their time knowledge and experience freely to others, without judgement, to lift people out of the depths of debt crisis

PLEASE DO NOT LET THE ACTIONS OF THE MINORITY RUIN THAT.


Kind wishes
P

Think we should have one of these ^ on each page

Hi lula :kisses3:
how's things with you

Have to admit when I look at posts, I always look at the stars, if there are 3 or more it kinda gives them a bit more credance in my eyes, that's probably not the right thing to do.

Don't forget I'm going away tomorrow for New year:j

I didn't forget, I didn't know - somewhere good? Send me your password [haha] and I'll log in as you and make some posts............. in the meantime
