:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: awwwwwww don't do that, if anyone should be under there is quioa for being such a grumpy so and so.B16011996[/b] &essexgal Many thanks for your somewhat kinder replies:o . Am now off to my cupboard under the stairs as I am NAUGHTY:eek: :eek: :eek:0 -
i agree with the repeat wanteds, last tue one member was looking for a hoover for himself, by fri one for his sister, and today one for his mother. does he think we are stupid.Whilst I agree with quoia on the rules, it does appear that they're not always strictly adhered to in some cases - which can be very confusing to say the least:o
It's a catch 22 - either fully moderated (which can be a pain and not very workable) or not (in which case you sometimes get 'unnecessary' messages).
I find the 'repeat' wanted messages more annoying though - if I didn't have it to gift yesterday, why would I suddenly have it today:rotfl:

It depends on what it is, and how nicely the 'wanted' was phrased (and also whether the 'wantee' has offered anything first, or just has a string of 'wanted's)
Actually I'm no help at all am I:o Move over Annie, room for one more:D
