    Remember you were asking if you can change your Title? Well I found out today by accident how to do it! :rotfl:
    You need to be subscribed to your own thread, then find your thread in the Forum (not through your User CP), then on the little “tick” at the right hand side of the Thread/Thread Starter column which says you are subscribed to that thread, double click on that “tick” which will then highlight your title, then you just go in there and change it. Simple as that! Good luck.

    Primula you're a star! Thankyou. I can do that in a bit.

    The potty training is going OK. She has got weeing down to a fine art (although we have got various chairs drying in the garden from accidents lol). She will poo on it but it's usually an afterthought so we're getting there slowly.
    Wont wear knickers though and wont use potty at nursery so that's going to make the process a bit more drawn out as until she wants to wear knickers I'm confined to the house and we can't progress.

    Yesterday she asked for a nappy on and got quite upset so we didn;t get anywhere yesterday and today she's at nursery all day so prob not a lot of progress there.
    We'll start again at the weekend and hope for the best.

    Well done yb on yet another payment. You're still doing great. Don't let your house get you down, DD will grow out of her toys soon enough and you will be wanting these toddler years back again! Is OH handy - could he perhaps make you some trendy shelves or a nice big toy box/seat to store things away in neatly hidden away?

    By the way, how's she getting on with the potty training?


    That made me laugh out loud (literally) at work last night when I read that. He is the most useless person at DIY I have ever known, but I knew that in the beginning.

    Yeah I tried that. It's just an icon on my screen the mouse pointer doesn't change for me to click anything

    Awwhhh, that’s annoying. It’s just a wee icon on my screen too – a wee tick and when I hold the mouse over it, it comes up “you are subscribed to this thread”. Are you getting that? Then when I double click (on the wee tick) it kind of puts the title in a wee text box thing and highlights the text. It’s working on my computer here at work and also worked on the laptop at home. I’ve changed the name of my title now.

    PS Are you going in through the forum, then debt free diaries and looking for your thread on the list?

    Yes to all of the above Primula. Oh well, I'll keep trying I guess.


    In other news, £5 paid off this morning. I saved £1.74 according to my shopping receipt yesterday so rounded it up. Getting depserate now lol and it;s only the 4th of the month.

    Off to work soon, then it's the weekend thankfully, thought that's going to cost me!

    Thank goodness it's the weekend. I have played through a free £10 on bingo given to me. Won £14 but it wont let me withdraw so have emailed CS just to see if they'll let me.

    I've also placed a mb and gotten some free bets to place over the weekend so am hoping for some money to start rolling in next week.

    Watchers on my ebay items but no bids yet and STILL waiting for the buyer to pay from last weekend so I can see that going to the second chance sooner or later.

    Not much happening here tonight. DD2 had a temperature this morning and threw up! Then she was fine so we went ahead and went out for lunch with MIL. She slept all afternoon on her sofa and perked up when we came home. We'll see what she's like in the morning.

    Just waiting for some bets to settle this evening and then hopefully I'll have around £30 profit from the bets.

    Not heard from the bingo offer yet but it is the weekend I suppose.

    A couple more bids on ebay items tonight and I have listed a couple of bits on Amazon.
