    Nora, before this thought escapes me again must write down for you!

    I was at a friend's house recently and she had a rather beautifully decorated wine glass with her name on. She made a whole set of these for a special dinner so that they made both fab nameplates, and a passably cheap little gift for people to take their own home :) ... I don't know if you do these already, but just in case not might be another thing people could order from website or pick up at a fair...

    Evening all!

    First up, thank you to everyone who jumped on their spam buttons earlier today (ooo, does that sound dodgy to anyone else??).

    "Jumped" - not so bad.
    "Bounced" - not so good.

    Secondly - Charlie!! Lovely to have you lurking over there and watching out for my diary's delicate character - mwah! :A Lurk all you like (I maintain, it's lovely to have lurkers - I have lurkers, people!!:rotfl:).

    A course of tablets sorts them out...

    Thirdly (hmm, anyone mind if I give up numbering the paragraphs?)

    If you use numbered bulletpoints it does it automatically.
    1. It does.
    2. Honestly.
    3. Would I lie to you?
    4. :p

    - how the devil are you all?? Feels like aaaaggggeeesss since I've spent any time with you. I am a bad, bad MSE-er....:o Though I can't help noticing the large amount of chocolate trafficking which has been going on in my absence....*shakes head* shame on you all...and teasing poor LT and Freeby while they're ww-ing...shocking!

    If no one felt temptation, they wouldn't know they were on a diet...

    Still have the credit cards open though (it's so much more difficult to close a damn credit card account than you'd think!!).

    Try closing a joint-account. Even the bank didn't know how to and gave me 3 different stories...

    *sigh* that's me, never quite getting it right! :rotfl:

    No, it just means you're not going all the way...

    Have, for the first time ever, utilised my ISA savings account properly. And I've opened my first ever online Post Office one. No idea why I'm so excited about having a PO account, but I really am! :D

    Have you checked which financial authority that account is "insured" with?

    Not sure I'm allowed to give a link to the site once it's up as it's advertising...but will check the MSE rules and see what they say. In any case, I'll shout when it's live and I'm sure if you googled the name, it'd send you in the right direction....;)

    Take a look at the "website" entry under your user profile.

    Have ended up working alongside a very good friend who is setting up her own business at the same time - so we're joining forces as our products compliment (or is it complement?)

    Complement. Compliment means "say nice things about".

    each other really well, plus it's lovely to have the company when you're starting out.

    It is indeed. And you can keep each other on the straight and narrow.

    Annoyingly, you can't see the detail on the colour bubbles in my pics

    Look at the "macro" setting on your camera. It will have a "sweet spot".

    Erm..not quite sure what you mean here, but I did check that the account is covered by the FSCS... is there something else I should be worrying about? *reaches for her worrying hat*

    Doh!

    Well, in fairness, she does say nice things about my stuff....

    Shows how much you know!!:rotfl:

    Erm....yes...well...ok...*suspects Z has no real clue as to just how little Nora knows about her little camera*

    Oh I'm glad you like that plan - I think they'd be a lovely idea, though I am now slightly concerned about a vision of you doing 150 for a wedding :D

    If it helps, we could explain to Z that your knowledge of camera is probably about equal to my knowledge about setting up internet TV...

    Nope. That's just what you should be worried about. The Post Office accounts used to be (or maybe still are) managed by the Bank of Ireland. They used to be backed by the Irish version of the FSCS. Irish state finances are a train crash - you don't want to be messing with that stuff...

    There is someone who knows all about your camera. Called "Instruction Manual"... :p;)
