    I'd vote for one thread. Don't care which one, but I can't see
    The point of having two doing the same thing
    I wanna be in the room where it happens
  • My vote is for one thread.

    Have we been overtaken by events? - as I notice the old thread is now locked. Dont know if that means the continuation one will be continuing - or we are getting a new (combined so to say) one?

    The vote is to see what the majority want and take it from there.

    I've closed both in the meantime so in 4 hours time we will have a new thread!

    thanks Hun. Just make sure everyone clicks the vote button

    Ultimately i can't determine what's discussed in a thread but we can have some common sense guidelines about what the thread is designed for

    Conversation will naturally veer of course but this is the only fairest way i can think of doing this :)

    Zippy I think this is a great way of dealing with it and I'm sure everyone will be happy to go along
    It doesn't matter if you are a glass half full or half empty sort of person. Keep it topped up! Cheers!

    Fingers and toes hun xx The other option is i do what i think is best and honestly, i don't think that would achieve anything.

    Plus, ive posted a Christmas prep thread up now, so everything's going to be ok :rotfl: Really this is a sneaky way of kicking off the christmas thread :rotfl:

    I'm voting for one new one, it will attract new people and new ideas.
