    Hello, just answering the strikethrough question - when posting go into "go advanced" highlight the text you want to strike through and then there is a button with an S and a line through it just press that.

    I can help with this one! Press the Go Advanced button. Above where you type the message is a row of buttons to press - bold, italic, etc, etc. On the far right, is an S with a line through the middle, and if you press it, you'll get the html up that'll do the strike through thing. You have to write what you want to be struck through in the middle of the two sets of brackets - don't type it first. If you do type it first, you'll just have to cut and paste it, or type it out again if you don't do cut and pasting.

    Hope thats intelligible!

    EDIT oops - Skint Spice said it shorter!

    Is this supposed to be warm? :confused: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Landed this morning at some ungodly hour.
    House is a tip (thank-you VERY much children - you know who you are)
    Lots of furry food had to be thrown, but the biscuits have gone :mad:

    Still have masses to catch up on, but have been doing my spreadsheets.

    Count my earlier remarks about being grown-up as utterly misplaced smugness :o
    And blame Popeye for a gorgeous piece of art work on his wall that completely boggered the money this month :o
    I'm going to hate updating my signature at the end of this week, but can't do it earlier until I have his contribution confirmed........

    Off to catch up on other threads......thanks for keeping things going here, I've enjoyed reading it all from a distance. Though apparently the site was down for a couple of days :confused: ?

    Hey Olive, its great to see you back :j thanks :D

    By the sounds of it you had a wonderful time with Popeye and I'm so pleased for you! :happylove for 12 days :cry:last night

    Can't remember if you had gone before all the snow we had here? Somehow it only seems like 5 minutes since you left, I can't believe how the time has flown :eek:. Yep, left you with 8 inches :D

    Got CRB check back for new job yesterday so hope to hear from Trust Head Office with a starting date soon - just hope I can get a proper nights sleep before then . :dance: :dance: :dance: will check on your diary for why sleep is eluding you....

    Are you back at work today Olive?
    :rotfl: :rotfl: Monday - and I'm not particularly looking forward to it
