  • Well done BB on getting to 71. I am on 73 of my list and am finding it harder now, I don't want to put anything too easy to do, but on the other hand don't want it to be too unobtainable that there is no chance of completing the list.

    Morning all, its a lovely day here today :) Our plan is to clean the guinea pigs, sort out the garage fob once and for all :o, sort out mums birthday present, do ds homework, maybe go swimming and make mum a birthday cake.

    I got up to 73 things on my list before bed last night, and received a couple of unexpected but nice texts from a guy I know ;):D then had an ahem * very nice * dream about ds teacher involving the xmas shoebox appeal :rotfl::rotfl:

    Right, off to shower and get dressed, have a good day!

    We've been and got Mums birthday cards, we're putting money towards a new tv for her bedroom that she wants. I'll get her some flowers on monday too, and ds is going to make her a cake later :D

    I've also, finally!!, got the garage fob ordered :j :j I managed to find out which sort I needed after much googling, and have got a new one from ebay for £30. Am sure the fun will really begin when I try to program it :o

    So, guinea pigs and homewrok left to do, and a cake to bake.

    Bournemouth won 2-0 today :T :T And ... remember I mentioned earlier about the random texts last night, well, I had another one this morning from him apologising for them, saying he was very drunk ... I replied saying there was no need to be sorry, I liked hearing what he wanted to do to me ;):D and he replied but I have no idea what he meant :o so any help would be very much appreciated!! He put [] [] [] [] (except they were proper squares but I can't figure out how to do them on my keyboard). I have no idea what its supposed to mean, maybe some modern txt spk thing that I have no clue about :o, or maybe an emoticon that didn't work properly, I have no idea! I have replied asking what it meant but havewn't heard back ... any ideas anyone???

  • I think the squares appear when its something your phone does not recognise...so he may think you have seen what it is and have now texted him to say you don't understand?

    Maybe you need to let him know that only squares appeared, if you haven't already?

    Thankyou KM, I did reply saying that all I could see was 4 squares and that it dind't make sense?? Haven't heard back though, although he doesn't tend to reply straight away.
