    Yes, me too - everything got wiped and I had to start again. There's a message at the top of the thread saying 'We've switched to the new-look Forum'.

    xx
  • I can't see a message saying that on mine anywhere,and I've still got the old format thank goodness. It was running exceedingly slowly as well as continually telling me the page was not available. Seems to have suddenly righted itself though now and is up to speed, how very odd!!

    Yes seems fine now, but I switched off twice just in case it was my laptop.

    Hope he Who Knows is feeling better today Lyn

  • Thanks Candlelight, he's up and lying on the sofa and has had toast and scrambled egg and a cup of coffee. He's really sore and achey but his tum is feeling better. He thinks he might manage a jacket potato for supper so I'll pop out and get some and give him something bland as a topping so it's easier to digest. Poor lad, really in the wars with this one, Lyn xxx

    fuddle Elaine on her site Mortgage Free in Three posted a recipe for home made custard powder a few months back. I ddn' t know how it works out pricewise but the custard it makes tastes like heaven on earth, and now that is the only kind of custard we have.

    Oh Thank you! I will go look. Id rather HM than shop bought especially if it's great on the flavour stakes too.

    I've been having problems Lyn but put it down to my laptop as it has been running slow. Doing a defrag now and all round clear up so we'll see. Seems ok on my phone but I haven't accessed PMs today.

  • I'm still having problems the computer keeps saying web page not available or I can't get the thread up as it won't make the connection the troubleshooter says MSE is not responding quickly enough and is being timed out. I don't know if this is a result of switching to the new look forum but it's a bit of a pain. One minute the darned thing will talk to me and halfway through a post off it goes and won't talk to me. SWIZZ!!!

    Same here Lyn, and I thought I had lost a very long post because it took so long and then said timed out, but I found it again.

    It really is frustrating, perhaps they are doing this to those of us who won't use the new format :)

    Lyn, there is a lady posting this afternoon the thread is called "Part Old Style, Part therapy Help" and I wondered if you could help her with some words.

    I have replied but I am sure you could suggest some other things she could do.

    Hope you don't mind
