    Moaning, there's a lot of it. Support, there's a lot of it. Advice, there's a lot of it.

    This thread is completely different from any other I know. It feels like a family and we all rally around when it comes to whatever comes to task. I've never known such support as we all get on here.

    Thanks to you lot, this year, I think every member of my family, including inlaws :cool: and extended family will be getting something from my wife and I this christmas. First time in a very long time, and it's all down to you lot finding glitches and the like.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again.

    LONG LIVE THE ELITE. XXX


    ps. I'm sober. :o:D

    Hugs to those of you with problems and poorly people at the moment.

    It was me talking about the lack of Smilies being related to IE 11.
    If you are set up to automatically update it will have changed from IE 10 to IE 11 in the last few days.
    It is IE 11 causing the problem, according to Techie Stuff https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4848865 and will be OK if you go back to IE 10 ;) I am using Windows 7. May be OK with Window 8?
    At least that's what I did using the Microsoft Website for guidance.
    Actually quite easy

    Also lost ieSpell which came back.

    Thank you Sunshine, I always try to maintain a Positive Attitude, but this news is potentially devasting :( . My outlook on life changed dramatically about 3 years ago following a car accident. Yes I have lots of medical issues now but there are far more people so much worse off. Today I'm left wondering if there is any justice in the world. Sure we'll all pull together & get through it xx:o

    Name and shame...post up their FB/twitter Page and lets get the Elite flash mob on their case!:cool:

    just a quick update re the broken hearted son..
    we managed to get him out for something to eat tonight, he didn't want to go as he hasn't eaten for nearly a week and is soo skinny now.
    Anyway we found a hungry horse that he has never been too (difficult as had to go somewhere they had not been to together).
    He ate most of his curry, even had a bit of a laugh, although at times he still looked misty eyed.......he has decided that he will go on a lads holiday this year and will probably spend the summer being a "right tart".
    He confided in his sister that he can't stand being in his bedroom so we have decided to move him to his brothers old room asap.
    So tonight it has been move this,. dump that until 11pm......off to bed now as loads to do tomorrow and haven't even started xmas shopping yet:eek::eek::eek::eek:

    If anyone has a Costco card, I can recommend paying them a visit as they have Pandoro Cake at just £1.97. It is a 1KG cake, in a lovely tin and is the ideal thing to take round if you are visiting people. Also, the cake has been baked in a star shaped mould, so you can also cut the cake into slices horizontally and by rotating them create a christmas tree cake, decorated with cream etc like this...

    An absolute steal for under £2.
