Oh, well it'll have to be my secret :rotfl:
From the URL, it looks like you are trying to display an attachment in hotmail (or something approximating that)
I think you'll need to chuck it in to photobucket for us to see it
(or you can email it to me :whistle:) :rotfl:

Hi
I am a long time lurker on MSE and I frequently take a look at this thread so much so that I almost feel I know some of you
Now I would like to join because .....basically I drink far too much and I want to cut down both for health and financial reasons.
So, it's the 1st of March a brand new month and I know from my lurking that Shaggy is scoring this month (love the daily pictures btw Shaggy). I want to reach a situation where I have the occasional drink at weekends, high days and holidays but don't drink Mon - Fri, and don't miss it. I'm not at that point yet but I am going to 'pledge' 10 days and see how I go."When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on"
