    Hi all - that spam button is irritating:mad:

    We have had a couple of centimetres of snow here and the roads where chaotic this morning, something must have happened because on the dual carriageway outside the traffic was moving really slowly on the southbound carriageway and there isnt normally a traffic jam on that side whereas the northbound carriageway is always jammed because of various sets of traffic lights (mainly at the new junction in Northfield which stops the flow of traffic).

    Talking of spam - because I was late getting something out of the freezer for dinner, I ended up having a spam fritter sandwich for tea:eek:

    Best crack on and de-tox my computer and try and work out why webmail for my business account isnt working properly.

    I've just had to wander all the way to page 2 to find this thread. I think it thinks its one of bo-peeps sheep.

    ...Although actually not quite as they return on their own unlike the thread.

    BUMP and welcome to any newbies. Welcome on board.

    I still think that the spam and like it button should be below the reply button and not the other way around..I nearly hit that dratted thing again:mad:

    Tonights dinner will be something with the rib eye steak (silly me forgot to split them into two bags so now have 2 defrosted - insert banned rolleyes), sprouts and some rooster booster spuds (they were £1 in Sainsburys on Saturday).

    Got some shortcrust pastry out of the freezer too because I just fancy making some jam tarts and maybe something else.

    Mmm jam tarts Horace, lovely (sprouts = not so lovely!). I like them so hot out the oven the jam burns your mouth!

    I never use the reply button (confused smiley) I always just type in the bottom at the box.

    BUMP

    I could say it's a sign of a misspent youth, but it's gone on far longer :rotfl:

    I was/am a member of other forums, and on one in particular we used to borrow/swap pictures quite happily with each other, so a lot come from there.

    So, if any appeal for you to use - just copy and use, no probs!

    And here we are loitering on page 2 - so bump!

    Hi everybody.


    Over the last few weeks we have had a number of "troll" attacks on the boards.

    What is a Troll? A troll is a person that posts deliberately provocative, nasty or hurtful comments on threads. They may be a person with no previous connection to the board or someone that has created a pseudonym to get their point made.

    If you should get a comment made on any thread you post asking for help and advice please realise this comment is not directed at you personally.
    We really are all a lovely bunch here (oops, modest, sorry) so please ignore these nasty comments and continue to post here as normal.

    what should i do if i get a comment made on my thread?

    firstly do not respond to the comment as this invariably is what the person wants. At the bottom of the post, on the left hand side is a red "warning" triangle. Click this and then "send" the message that comes up. This will report the message to abuse who will review it's content and delete it.

    The person we had this morning was particularly vile and nasty and please believe me is an extreme rarity here.
    Above all PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE THE BOARDS. THIS SITE IS AN ASSET TO SO MANY, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT FEELS THE WORLD IS FALLING IN ON YOU. THERE IS SUCH A WEALTH OF ADVICE HERE TO BE HAD THAT THE COMMENTS OF ONE MUST NOT DETER YOU FROM AVAILING YOURSELF OF THE KNOWLEDGE HERE!!!!

    It is testament to the work that martin has done and continues to do that so many people give their time knowledge and experience freely to others, without judgement, to lift people out of the depths of debt crisis

    PLEASE DO NOT LET THE ACTIONS OF THE MINORITY RUIN THAT.


    Kind wishes
    P

    Time for one of these usual reminders. Hello to the newbies, welcome to the lovely DFW site where you should get lots of ideas and support. The above message is only to protect from the minority who want to ruin our friendly place. Please do join in the fun or post a new thread on the main board if you are having problems with your debts.
