    Hi Swinstie73
    You have to complete levels 1, 2 & 3 to get a star. ;) If you want the dancing banana :D you have to complete all levels every day.
    You can complete at any point this week though just be sure to let me know when you have completed a full day. Remember Extras are Extras and don't need to be done to get stars;).
    You have done fabulous for your first day. Keep up the good work.
    Quillion xx

    How can I say this without denting your enthusiasm :oYou need to do 3 levels to get a daily star and 5 stars to get the Weekly Award (a banana this week ;) ). Well done on your first day and have a dance.gif as a special Newbie Award, only don't say it too loudly or they'll all want one :D

    I've just sat down after a looooooooooooong day at work. We've eaten and tidied the kitchen. Going to have a HHC then sit down with a mug of coffee and some chocolate. Did I mention I'm on holiday as of tomorrow redflag.gif

    Triker - Pigpen must be psychic :confused: but it would have been nice if she'd warned you earlier :rolleyes: Shut the door on the mess and go and pour yourself a nice glass of wine ((((hugs))))

    Miss A - please could you put my name on Toots card. I'd love to see a picture of it. Thank you for being so thoughtful - I bet Toots will be really surprised and pleased when she gets it.
