    I didn't think she had named her kitty yet :)

    Jasmine it is. Was still torn between this and Iris so DH made the decision. I made a little video of her swinging on the bannister earlier but have no idea how/if I can post it. It's on my phone so might have a little play tomorrow when I've transferred it to the PC.

    Just thinking this afternoon about children's games and what we used to get up to as children, I started remembering some of the games we invented for ourselves,
    Cow Under the Bridge
    Baby Jesus
    Johnny Jelly
    Maybe we could have a game, later? I think I can remember what to do

    I'm up for it

    OK, TM:T You choose...
    Cow Under the Bridge one person lies across the gap between two armchairs pulled slightly apart, face down and eyes such - they're the 'bridge'; the other person is the 'cow', and they have to try and crawl under the 'bridge' without it dropping on them.
    Baby Jesus
    not a game as such, and definitely one for the tinies; you need a floor-length curtain, one person grabs the end and pulls it to make a hammock, the other person climbs in and is swayed back and forth while the first person sings softly "Aaaawww, Baby Jeeesus" to a made-up tune
    Johnny Jelly
    do you know, I can't remember what we did for this one:o And neither can my sister - I've just rung and asked her. (That's an odd conversational opening - "Hi, how are you? By the way, do you remember Johnny Jelly") Just make up your own game for this one:D

    Remember, with Gmail you can add one or more dots . (e.g. anon@gmail, a.non@gmail a.n.on@gmail anywhere in the name part of the email address and it registers on systems as a unique email address, even though it will still come through to your main Gmail inbox (and if needs be, you can change settings through GMail online to be able to reply from that account if the need arises). Should any offers come up where you may need more than one email address, this can be quite useful without using Yopmail or setting up other multiple accounts elsewhere as you don't actually need to set up the email account ;)

    You can also set up one hotmail (now outlook.com) account that contains several different (I think at least 10) alias accounts. All these alias accounts have a different email address but come into a single account (meaning you just log in once and you can see all the emails from all the alias accounts) and you can send emails from any of the alias accounts too.

    More info here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows/outlook/add-alias-account

    That is a great description of Emma. She also has a great sense of humour, and is very compassionate (not to mention extremely organised)

    I was going to include 'organisation-!!!!!!-loving' in the description but it was before the watershed ... but it isn't now:)

    do you know, I can't remember what we did for this one:o And neither can my sister - I've just rung and asked her. (That's an odd conversational opening - "Hi, how are you? By the way, do you remember Johnny Jelly") Just make up your own game for this one:D

    Jelly, I really do wonder what goes on in that head of yours sometimes :D:rotfl:
    We used to play a game called squasha when we were kids. Loads of us used to bundle someone laying on the floor. The 1st person to yell out "squasha" (generally the poor !!!!!! on the bottom) was the loser.
    Looking back it was very strange and probably explains a lot about life later on :D:rotfl:
    Life is not about learning to avoid the storms - it's about learning to dance in the rain.

    I don't know if anyone has already answered this as I am miles behind and trying to catch up. :o However, I accidentally bought a Fruit and Nut Toblerone a couple of days ago (I didn't notice there was one F&N mixed in with the three ordinary milk chocolate ones I picked up). The Fruit and Nut one came up as n/a to Waitrose :( (£2.50 compared to Tosca) whereas all my chocolate ones compared to Waities 75p. :j

    I don't think anyone had already answered this; if they have done, I'd missed it, so apologies for not thanking them earlier.
