    Hmmm....either you guys have started swearing (shame on you haha) or the word !!!! (L.o.v.e) is being censored.......strange :think:

    I've noticed that on another forum. Is it a dirty word now??? :)

    There's a thread on it in the Feedback Forum - I wonder if it's because of the recent influx of "guru solves problems" spam we've been getting? Like I said on the other thread, if they ban all those words we'll all be talking in code :rotfl:

    Just realised - no mention of stitching and I don't want to be told off for not being on topic :) Haven't done any. At all. Since before Christmas:eek:. This is bad.
  • sorry didnt swear honest was admiring everyones photos.

    i know they say l.o.v.e is a four letter word but censoring it is a bit strong.

    done an hour on titanic while standing near the back door catching a bit of the sunlight. TBH you cant really tell i bothered as im doing sea so royal blue on navy adia isnt the greatest show up ever.

    Hoping work on my chart today, got a couple of spare hours and the housework is all done, bar a load of washing that's in the machine that needs hung up (can't wait until I can use outdoors again!)

    Tomorrow morning I'm off to see about starting an OU intro to psychology module - it's one of those home learning courses but there's a class every week from Easter until the summer hols. Does anyone have experience of doing Open University courses? I'm hoping with it being just a module it should be fairly easy to concentrate on and fit in to everything.

    Right...off to make a cuppa and get started. Enjoy whatever you are doing this morning folks x

    Thanks or the info about it being on the feedback section. I rarely visit many other areas of the site, marriages section because it's like an episode of Jeremy Kyle on some of those threads :o And I sometimes look at the Discussion area at the bottom, but a bit scared to post cos they rip posts apart in there haha:eek::rotfl:

    I know what you mean - I lurk on lots of forums (fora?) but rarely post in anything other than this thread :rotfl:
  • went and had a quick read of the thread (thanks Mags_cat) it looks like its fixed but i dont think its altering the words back that it swapped so we still have !!!! showing in the older censored posts.

    love everyones photos

  • Totally off topic, but my cousin is running for Muscular Dystrophy and has set a Just Giving page up. She has run the Belfast marathon before so this should be easy for her. She is currently at Durham Uni in her 2nd year. This is her page, and even £1 would be great....xx

    M.o.s.
    Love the wolves,a lot of hard work has gone into it,
    F.o.s.
    Needlework abc is fantastic,all that detail,and did u say no back stitch,a bonus, I think!
    Kezbaby
    What a great project,have seen the coffee one done,the handbag one is
    funny,all the little bits are cute!
    Back to the dinosaurs,the borders are endless!,,,

    No back stitch on the ABC would have been a bonus and would have resulted in it being finished months / years ago. Instead I had to force myself to do the BS which I really don't like. It's my new (and nearly finished) project Stitching Row which doesn't have any BS
