I get that too. I think it's a new feature they've added in the latest upgrade, so you can 'unthank' someone if you change your mind later. It seems a bit of an odd idea to me, but I suppose they wouldn't have introduced this unless people wanted it - personally I'm just ignoring it.

HTH.

Just another 'man'made invention, they try to confuse us but it's not going to work! :rotfl:

When you thank someone now you also get a HUGE box taking up page room

Nuttybabe- I know how you feel today, let's hope for some sunshine and something good to come your way to cheer you up

Just a short one for me today- determined to spend more time at work actually working (novel I know!) I seem to spend increasing amounts of time on MSE forums and less time doing work which ultimately means staying late in the office :mad:

My five for the day are:

1) Bulk cook (didnt get time on Monday!) 1 kilo of mince and lentils transformed into 2 cottage pies, a bolognaise and a chilli
2) Put money I havent spent this month back into the bank :eek:
3) Tidy up the bedroom.... it still looks a bit like a bombs hit it
4) Fix the two jumpers that have some how sprung holes in the armpits!
5) Little supermarket shop (basket size only as I am currently not buying anything other than essentials unless I have used up everything in the freezer and store cupboards)

Have a good day :A

Morning all! My 5 for yesterday:

1. Yummy curry out in Bristol - generous portions!.

2. Catching up with my friend from school, who I'd not seen for...ahem...30 years and a bit...

3. Trying out a new pub with said friend.

4. Overspending on my evening out and hence realising that I need to rein in my spending on eating out. Best to realise now so I can do something about it!

5. Short day at work due to having to attend a course in the afternoon.

Enjoy the rest of your day, everyone.

Morning all.
Good news on Dh's job - his company accepted his proposal and will be going ahead with it ASAP :j I am so pleased for him, he desrves it.
To celebrate his good news we had takeaway for tea, so diet was well and truly out the window.

Apart from the above good news, here are my other pleasures for yesterday:

- A visit to the library. I borrowed THIS book on baby foods, it has some new snack ideas to try.
- A wander round the shops in the sunshine. I realised that i must start shopping in our greengrocers again as I bought 1bs new potatoes, 2 large baking potatoes, a red pepper and a lemon for just £1.82p.
- Getting lots of washing done and dried outside.
- Cleaned living room and kitchen with just a damp microfibre cloth and used no nasty chemicals.
- Finished a library book, I went "old skool" and read an Agatha Christie, it was rather good too.

Extra one: Feeling very positive about our future. After some uncertainty in Dh's previous jobs, it feels like we really can acheive our dreams :A.

Hello All

1. Baked the last halloween pumpkin in the oven with mediteranean herbs - ready for lasagne tomorrow night
2. Rescued a cauliflower from the fridge on the verge of past its best and made a cauliflower cheese at the same time as the pumpkin
3. Had a NSD today
4. Dried clothes on the line after washing them using eco balls and minimal soap - £5 in either Lidl or Aldi
5. Planted second batch of Homegrown potatos - now that they have chitted on the window - used recycled compost - £1.20 per 100l bag if you fill the bag yourself:D

Good evening all.

I've been feeling a bit off-colour today for various reasons, not helped by having to re-wash one of my nice clean sheets as an incontinent seagull scored a direct hit within 20 minutes of the stuff going out on the line to dry. :mad:

I'm determined to find 5 pleasures, though.

1) Finding out that one of my work colleagues also doesn't like the village my DM wants to visit next week. That's a pleasure as I thought it was one of these places everyone liked and I was just odd, so it's good to know I'm not (or at least not in that respect! )

2) Bought some plastic backs to stop one of my pairs of earrings falling out. The stops were more expensive than I expected, but still cheaper than buying a new pair of earrings because I'd lost one.

3) Received the new earrings I bought myself as a reward for reaching my first dieting target - very pretty, and fairly traded so I can enjoy them with a clear conscience.

4) One of my colleagues reading out some of the Monster Raving Loony Party's manifesto promises at work - we thought the 99p coin was particularly inspired. :rotfl:

5) Dinner from the storecupboard tonight, using up all sorts of odds and ends. The result smells quite promising...

Have a pleasant evening, everyone.

Evening all

Ladyhawk - thanks

Jexy - i cant believe how well he has grown. last year i didnt manage anything and the broccoli and cauli i have tried growing this year are not going well!!!

emilyka - must have been something in the air.

well, i am feeling alot happier today. dont know if it was because i was still a bit ill or because dh was ill so was down and brought me down with him or just that i kept thinking of things i needed to do!!

Mine for today

1 Got some whoopsie turkey breasts, stilton and ham today. and 3 huge pots for my pepper plants for £1 each (much bigger than the ones I was going to get in poundland) :j

2 Sorted out the change of address (more secure) for the caravan insurance (finally) and they refunded ... wait for it..... £4.80! Better than nothing!!

3 Spent the morning on the phone regarding my little sock monkey venture, spoke to business link, hmrc, mortgage people, house insurance people and liability insurance people. I was putting off these calls as i thought i wouldnt like what i heard but all ok!

4 My salad leaves are doing really well, and some that i planted yesterday are sprouting! Tommy the tomato plant is still growing and i think he has a few flowers starting so might be getting my toms soon!! I did put him out in the sun this afternoon and remembered to bring him back in!!

5 Used the stilton in my hm cheese & ham pasta bake and it was lovely and everyone ate it.

6 Cleaned the kitchen and did the ironing at last!

Have a great evening everyone.
