    I think you just need to put the '0' before the 4. Thank you for posting :j Don't feel stupid, everyone has made mistakes posting even the people who point out the mistakes!!!

    Don't be silly! We all make mistakes, or post dupes etc - if everyone used that as a reason not to contribute there'd be no comps board! You just missed a 0 that's all - you have 30/4 instead of 30/04 so when people sort by date order yours will be out of place. Just click edit & go advanced to put it right :)

    PS it gets easier the more comps you post :)

    cmc , you did brilliant, you should see how many times i made a mistake when i first started posting :o won't mention names but i used to get a few ''not so nice pm's'' from certain people & it made me feel really bad, so i stopped for a while, then realised that we've all got to start somewhere & half the people that picked fault with my postings had made a few boo-boo's themselves :rotfl:also i had a lot of support & advice from some of the lovlier members on here, so please don't get upset, at least you posted it in the right place :D i used to post them in the wrong threads & sometimes still do :o:eek:
    please be a responsible pet owner & spay/neuter your pets, too many strays & not enough homes for them sadly. k2u58ioz4c8e.png

    Flick - I can't be any help in terms of what words to say, but I think the most important thing is to write it from the heart, which you would do anyway. As long as you do that, he'll see what it means to you, and how much you want to get back in touch, and hopefully he'll feel the same. Don't get too hung up over the precise words - it's the meaning behind them.

    Well done to all winnners today, and Cathy - hope you are enjoying your lovely new lounge.

    I've got a missed delivery from DHL - Any ideas anyone?? Our depot is about 30 mins drive away, so would love to try and guess what it is..do they charge much extra to get redelivery on a Saturday?? (Can't get any answer and am so impatient and not open again until tomorrow)..

    CMC - Well done on your first comp post!
    FE- I can't help with words to say but something along the lines of family is important and it is so sad you lost touch. Maybe if you have some memories of when you saw him last that might help as well?
    Melvis - glad you made it home!
    Keep thinking positively
