    ooooh I love cake, how old is she? Glad I came back now or I would have known nothing and missed you all doh!


    She will be 12. But, she is very autistic so is still a lot like a 3 year old in many ways.

    For the record people, I will not be making any cakes just so you can all breathe a sigh of relief. :rotfl:I will however buy a great big chocolate cake :D

    Have you all seen the new multi quote post button on the right - next to Edit and Quote? The one with the 2 apostrophes?

    Click on all the quotes you want to multiquote by clicking the multi quote button (it turns orange) and on the last one chosen, also click on the normal quote button. They turn into one big multi quote you can write inbetween and chop bits out!!

    If you decide you don't want that quote included after all you can un-click it.
