I've just read your thread mrscmr (it's some read!). You're an inspiration. Pity you couldn't bottle some of what you've got.

I joined your ironing challenge just after Christmas and i'm ashamed to say I have done nothing. You're so proactive in everything you set your mind to - and I haven't even lifted my bloomin iron! (Tomorrow - I promise )

I hope you have a great 2010. You deserve it. xxx

Ashamed to say I haven't done any ironing yet either but I will have to do some tomorrow.

Happy New Year

Hi mrscmr
I've just read some of your diary (I confess, not all it is epic!)

Just wanted to add my congrats to your good-humoured debt-busting and phenomenal Ebaying :T:T:T (are many people bidding at this time of year? I've resisted listing until the end of the month, though I certainly could do with the cash....)

Your imaginary clothes shopping made me laugh too, as that is something I do!
Have a good day and Happy New Year!

From now on we will refer to the 2nd january 2010 as "the lost day"... i have never been soo poorly :-(

started off with a migraine, so popped of to take a migraine tab and then 30 mins later i am being sick, shaking with high temp. this carries on all day till around 10 pm when i stop being sick. actually thought i was dying.. clearly not!

this morning i am battle-weary... still have a headache [infact if migraine were an olympic event then i would have won gold for the last 20 years, as would my mother and her mother before her!

i lost a whole day...:-((

Inserting Colourful Ticks Master Class

There are 2 methods for achieving this:

1. copy and paste from my post into your post.
2. you can change the colour of the ticks using the font colour option and the size using the font size option.

Advanced option:

If you know MS word well you could try this method:
1. Open a blank document in word
2. click on insert menu, select Symbol
3. Click on the Font selection list to select winddings
4. lots of little pictures are displayed.
5. choose the tick one or infact anyone you fancy as they will all work.
5. click on the tick and then click on insert to insert into your document, click on close to close the symbol dialog.

6. select and copy the picture from word and paste into the post and then using the font colour and size options change the colours and size.

NB: IMPORTANT: ENSURE THAT YOU TYPE ALL YOUR TEXT IN YOUR POST BEFORE YOU INSERT THESE SYMBOLS. IF YOU INSERT A SYMBOL AND TYPE AFTERWARDS THEN YOUR TEXT WILL BE ALL GOBBLYGOOK AS YOU CHANGE THE CHARACTER SET.

any question please ask!
