    Re the invisible ink stuff...

    I clearly remember one day at work when I had to make sure a new system was fit for purpose. I logged into and where there should have been a blue banner at the top with white writing. There was just a blue banner.....

    The developer had forgotten that blue writing on a blue background becomes invisible...

    Well I must be a totally blonde brunette as I am completly lost... ??? spill the beans, invisible ink???:confused:

    See what happens when you stop paying attention;) . While you've been off working, Mudbath's been playing...

    ... good thing she's starting to do some work soon. In the meantime, we need to keep finding things to occupy her - bear in mind we've already made her clean her light fittings, wash the lightbulbs, descale her taps, clean out her bookcases and dust her books...

    Toots - it's not just you that Valli's ignoring. Between AF and her marmalade production it looks like she hasn't even had time to do much ironing :eek:
  • Good thing to blame Mudbath.It is normally her.

    Davgirl hugest hugs for you

    My get up and go has still not come back. Had a bad day with DS3, he is being really difficult with all of us at the moment and so naughty and cheeky. I'm worn out emotionally by it all.

    Just going to see if any of the items I started on turbolister are in a state to go live.
