    Just a quick question - How does the Thanks button work?? Should I be pressing it for each post I read???


  • Hi all

    Well, been for the test drive in the Quashquoi (no idea how to spell it...). It's a cute car - quite high off the road so easier to get in and out for me. The snow started to clear off the roads so getting out of the house wasn't too scary!

    I am posting really to say that I have cleared 10 things off my desk!! And thrown another 5 in the bin! Major achievement for me!

    Hope you are all having a good days flying!

    It's entirely up to you - a lot of people on here use it to keep an eye on where they've read to and to show the poster they've read it. You don't have to though - whatever suits you.

    In from work, no rest for the wicked tho, got to take littley to dancing class for 6 then me and DD1 are going straight to Asda, then go straight to pick littley up again, then home, THEN I'll make tea, littley has already had hers tho so just me, DD1, OH and teenie to cater for, and we'll all want/fancy different things you can guarantee it :D

    Lil_me I had thought of that then I forgot, however I did write a little note and stuck it on the front door before work yesterday, which I took back off again cause I didn't go, and I forgot today :rolleyes:

    twinmummy I always forget to thank posts, then when I do remember there's hundreds to do and I don't like to leave anyone out so no-one gets one :D 'cept pigpen on the list post.

    Am now really bugged by the fact that I've done all that and still won't get a star!!! I have also had my hair coloured (and really like it this time), run DD here, there and everywhere, filled car with petrol, and bought muslin and seville oranges - just the sugar to go and I can make marmalade!

    I need to hassle the boys about the cables and games currently breeding again in the livingroom, and do some 'relocation, relocation...'

    Congatulations to pigpen's DS's GF upon the safe if speedy arrival of Jacob. Will go look for a suitable smiley later, as on Mozilla at the moment, and they don't work.

    Nearly all the snow has gone, much to my relief, really don't like the stuff. Lovely sunshine today as well, so although quite cold, enjoyed zipping up and down the High Street.

    to be honest froddington, there was only a couple of dishes to be done and the oven was done not so long ago so was not too bad only took 5 mins! I do now have a bowl and spoon to wash as DD has finished her soup!!
