    So glad this thread is back to the humerous style I love OS for :D
    Queenie - I'm so glad you've already looked for the armadillo casserole thing.... if you hadn't I probably would've.
    As it was I spent nearly half hour searching for the previous thread that referred to using the search - and as allways happens when I use a search I spent ages reading other threads that weren't really related, but looked interesting, lol. ( I know so much about being OS now - but I really must get around to doing more of it!!!)

    (PS when searching for some info on bread makers for someone the other day I was so chuffed to see that a thread I'd started was indexed - do I need to get a life???)

    Lol, edited to say - It just goes to show how long it takes me to get a post posted, you've all been nattering about armadillos since I started and I was clueless!!

    LOL.

    I could do with a beer too, but I've too much work left to do.

    A bit more on the new Indexed collections first post and about two hour's worth for Freecycle.
