I use the "Quote" button but open it up in a different tab for each person I want to multi-quote, then copy and paste them all into my original reply box by highlighting the text and using ctrl + c to copy and ctrl + v to paste, one after the other.

Never tried the speechbubble button

oh no Freespirit!! poor you you have all my sympathy, my ideal house would be one that has no water in it whatsoever!! I really feel for you, I was sat on the sofa hearing this bloke messing with the radiator upstairs, the cats getting upset that somebody they didnt know was in the house, him turning off water and opening doors and cupboards and I was staring at the dining room ceiling getting so stressy!! I think it stems from workmen who think women know nothing so they start telling you more things that need doing and the costs mounting up, nowadays I try and only get people in on the day hubby works from home and I go out and come back when its done! the wierd thing I find with water upstairs is that if there is a leak it doesnt always come through at the place the leak is! it must work through floorboards and come out elsewhere and that freaks me out even more worrying there is something else!! am a born bloody worrier I think! I hope you get it sorted with not too much stress

BUNBUN2 House of Fraser sale yesterday had the Christmas Yankee Candles half price, they had tea light boxes, votives and the big jars and tumblers with lids, I got Christmas Cupcake reduced from 15.49 to 7.75

can I ask a favour please? if anyone sees the tumblers or jars of Yankee Winter Wonderland candles anywhere on a good offer or half price, would you mind letting me know please? thanks! xxx

thanks snugglebunny. I was hoping debenhams would reduce their candles online but they haven't. I might get to house of fraser this week. there is also a local outlet centre that has a few shops that sell yankee candles so I might be able to persuade OH to take me there. I saw some in dobbies but it wasn;t clear if they were reduced or not - thinking back they probably were:(

Wow lovelies what a busy day it's been! You all have been busy. Another no spend day for me although DH did spend £1 on the half time draw at the footie - he didn't win tho.

My DD (ages 25) had hand, foot and mouth in the summer. I really feel for you it was awful and it took her a long time to build her strength back the blisters looked so sore sending lots and lots of healing vibes.

Thank you all for all your good wishes re my DSiL she's had a much better day today- it's the start of her 7th week in hospital bless her. And her DH who has been amazing, along with her three daughters (I'm so very proud of them all)

It's brill to see so many newbies and delurkers You will love it here, I do, really don't know how I'd be feeling without all the help and support I've received from my virtual family:) thank you xxx

We had some sad news today which knocked us for six, neighbours of ours from 25years ago -so not close- the father died today mid 50s and his daughter had died last week in her 30s. Such a sad story and a reminder to us all to hug our loved ones tonight. xxx

Hi all hope everyone is doing ok today,

The only problem is my last tree and all the decs i have are quite contempary - slim line black tree, blue lights and blue and silver decs so I'm going to have to buy everything again - not very MSE of me I know but I'm so excited and my old tree is so ready for the bin for the last two years DH has had to use elastic bands to hold the bas together................
