Why? It's short for et cetera, hence the obligatory dot after the c. No need for capitals.:cool::D

sorry, I checked it with the oxford dictionary online. it changed it to capitals so I thought that was the way it should be.:o
other words were left in small case.:o
even bigger muck up it meant this.

Just to say.... Loving the garden/ sunflower pics everyone.

What a lovely garden DrV:)

Thank you, TM. I have a few strawberries too!



I will upload another picture tomorrow. Dad has been hard at it all week and Fence now looks a lovely shade (after Creosote and Diesel!)

Mayhap it is you who needs the capitals

Thanks for the support everyone

As expected the woman doesnt want to give up a day. Shes gong to ask if she can give up half a day instead

Hopefully the bosses go for it and that no-one else changes their mind

If the missus gets redundancy we have time to find something else before the house is at risk. Just not as much time as we'd like

I really hope things work out for you and Mrs AAU.

So......put your washing away folks, because you never know how it will end up if you don't :cool::rotfl::rotfl:

Oh I laughed so much at this! I just got DD2 to put the washing away. You'd think I'd asked her to kill the dog!

Speaking of dogs, I took my two to the local park for a run around. They both went in after ducks and the OH's car is now a shade of brown all over - I'm so dead if I don't get it sorted before Sunday!

It was simply my honest immediate thought that I had on seeing the post I was replying to and, starting "Big deal", I meant it in jest.

That's how it was taken by me. :A

the pot I cant help with, cant remember how to get it to stand but it would have to be weighty like clay? but you use the stuff for flower arranging (cant remember what its called) and cover it with foil and that's what you attach the stick/icing to. I am sure there is a thread about it on special occasions board, have a look x

edited to say, is it called oasis????????

Ive seen some similar things done with Ferrero rocher and other chocs. They were called choc trees I think?

I googled sweet trees and it came up

I would use a foam ball and using toothpicks stick some sweets in and in the gaps glue the rest in with a little bit of water. Making cupcakes tonight, might add a few Haribo now

Thanks- I'm off to hobbycraft in the morning to get either a foam or polystyrene ball and a pot from Tesco.

Thank you all

Firstly, I hope you like my jocular desecration of the start of the part of your post I've quoted*.

Secondly, it can't be assumed that everyone would know, as some people might well not have read the posts where I mentioned my condition or might not have seen them (especially new readers to the Elite threads who haven't been here from when I joined earlier).


* The 'joke' being an exaggerated version of my sometimes pedantic approach. The whole point is I wouldn't go that far in my pedantry and I have deliberately done it there for jocular effect, as well as a self-deprecation.

It's nice to see someone with the ability to (sic) something. I know our Tom is skilled in this and a very literate person too - with an astute eye. Wonder where he is?!
