    You can edit posts at any time - go into edit at the bottom of the post, then 'go advanced' and you can add/delete whatever you want! So if yours is the first post you can add the smiley/change the title etc....
    Hope that helped:T

    Morning All :hello:
    Bank Holiday Monday for us here :D But Popeye has gone into work anyway :(

    So today I have/will:
    • made some banana muffins with the black bananas - and when I ran out of flour I used millie meal...... :undecided
    • prepared the 2 other bedrooms for overnight guests who were due at 3pm, but are now arriving at 12 noon. :eek:
    • Washing at 30 will be line dried
    • down-loaded forms from DVLA to SORN the vehicle that we are unable to tax because the seller hasn't told them he's sold it :mad:
    • discovered it will cost £25 to register it in our name :mad: :eek:

    On the cheery side, Popeye saw my hands were cracked and sore and has taken over the washing up. :D:happylove
