    i would like an aviie wotsit but dont know how to do it. Advice anyone?

    First of all you have to decide what you want... if you aren't using one of your own photos, then you have to find a royalty free/copyright free picture.

    Then you need to go to the user CP, and down the left hand side there's a link for avatars. You can either link to one on the web, or upload one from your own PC.
  • hey Mrs B
    I am trying to catch up on the thread but just had to pop on and say you cannot possibly be dull - you are part of this thread/community and we are not dull or sad!!!!
    What about scrapbooking so you can create memories?
    Do you want a hobby that produces an end result or just something to enjoy and fill in time?
    would you be able to go to an afternoon class at the college and maybe learn a new skill or hobby?
    what about swimming - tennis- golf - art - photography - dress making - doing your family tree - bungee jumping - parachuting - sky diving - white water rafting - wine making - wine appreciation - local history - hill walking - dog walking - pet sitting - granny sitting - avon - card making - calligraphy - racing - pottery making - learn a new language - birthday cake making - gardening?????

    now... (dont answer this Valli) does anyone think it would be wrong to send the kids to school in un-ironed uniforms.. I just cant.. i cant... i just bl**dy cant do it!!!
    actually *folds arms in style of fishwife* since MY DS has, in his schoolbag, the uniform he changed out of at school on Friday because he came home in his PE kit and it will stay in his bag until HE puts it in the wash THEN I might wash it IF it's a washing day (so not until Tuesday NIGHT then) I would say NO.
    (And DDs trousers have been washed, shaken, line dried and put in her wardrobe because they didn't appear to need ironing and I am learning some sense apparently...)

    Thank you Honey Bear
  • michbright sorry honey you only get a star when you have done level 1, 2 and 3.
    But dont be disheartened as you have made a great start and next week these rooms will be easier. By completing level 1 everyday you have done better than some of us who have been here yonks so be very proud of your achievements, I look forward to giving you your first star - this week maybe?

    :o Sorry! Misunderstood the star system. Will try better this week, though I can't promise anything. I have to complete my tax returns this week - first time without an accountant's help - flying might take a slight backburner!

    Hi Michelle, lovely to see you back.

    AJ wow, can't believe you were on the Marina, what brings you to our neck of the woods.:D I didn't go down there today, my legs stopped working and I couldn't walk far so stayed on the car park, but I was there on saturday. x

    Greenbee, you're a bit cheeky you are.:p Charge your ipod up, thats very important, the rest can wait.:rotfl:

    11 and a half years down the drain again, all my changes to suit him and now left with nothing again after he kept it all last time 2yrs ago

    Fedup - biggest hugs to you love. Maybe you should make the break now. It's not easy I know.... xxx

    Princess Jane
    - renewed hugs love... that's not a good situation to be in

    Toots - no - no word on completion date but an electronic transfer of funds was made for a deposit on Friday so they hope to exchange in the next few days. I'm feeling a bit like the wicked mother because I haven't promised to pay for carpets and furniture like DiL's parents did yesterday. :o But then, I guess, I did offer them some saucepans which they refused and, as the offer for carpets etc. is already there, there's no need for me to add anything more is there? :D

    Michelle, welcome back - hope you manage to get on top of things again..

    This coming week I've decided I really need to job hunt after my summer off so good job hunting vibes are required if anyone has any to spare...

    I liked that other bee - it looked so cheerful. I don't like the new one I can see the stingy tail!

    Welcome back Michelle you have been in our thoughts ...

    My DS isn't home yet but I am going to have to go to bed

    3 of my Game Boy Advance games have watchers and two have bids. Am wondering whether to edit to say they can have recorded delivery if they pay...

    Thanks for the reminder - I have to find the form to I need to fill in, otherwise it's a whole tax return... and I don't have details of my mileage claims for the last year and a bit as they were all on the online system at work. Do you think I can ask them to pull all the details off from April 08 onwards and send them to me?!

    Toots - if you want to go to bed, I'll lurk for a bit - and probably have to make a loo stop in the night -I'll do my best to do a grab - and that's all it will say - Grab!
