    Right then, whose bringing the caviar? I have to pop into Ralph Lauren for my wedding dress fitting, then need to interview a new butler at the Ritz, but after that im free to count coppers with you lot lol

    Any thoughts on where we are meeting?!

    I don't think that there will be any probs with meeting up either. You're so right Kath about this forum giving us the chance to meet people we would ordinarily not encounter in our 'real lives'.

    I don't have any expectations about anyone and think it will be lovely for us all just to collect the hugs and good wishes in person..... unless SS is without clothing and then I might just shake hands!!

    I think that this board gives us all a chance to express ourselves as the personalities we are, not what people hold as stereo-typical imagery based on how we look or where we come from. I'm sure there will be a few surprises!!

    Lovely T-shirt Kath! I just need to get myself a picture for my signature ... just don't know how to do it. If anyone can tell me I'd be grateful.

    Glad you've solved the cold Champers dilema Lynz!! Any room in the bucket for my Strongbow!

    Lewby, its called an avatar and can be inserted/changed under 'user cp' at the top of the thread, then choose 'edit avatar'. You need some basic image editing software that will let you resize whatever picture you want:

    "The maximum size of your custom image is 80 by 80 pixels or 19.5 KB"

    You can select an image of your own, then resize and resave it to these specs. Or there are sites online that have images that you can save to your computer to use. When you've got the image that you want to use just press 'browse' on the 'edit avatar' page, find the image and press 'open'.

    There was a thread where some users were helping with avatars but thats basically what they were doing.

    Hope some of that makes sense! :D
