I was hoping it would be easier to use on my phone it doesn't seem to be
or maybe I'm just stupid.
Have lots of ironing and things to catch up on today. Tomorrow I have the MRI and DD has something on at school. Friday I have some errands to run. The weekend will be baking the cake and things. But it's half term next week so we are all looking forward to slower morning's.

Roll on half term.
I'm sort of getting there with the new forum but only by limiting what I try to do then gradually branching out. I always used to struggle when I tried to read on my phone: I really wish it was available on an app.

I think the new forum was always going to take a while to get used to - it was the same the last time they made major changes to it and personally I think allowing the opt-back to the old forum on that occasion was a mistake. I never use the forums on my phone anyway - the screen is simply too small - it works OK on the ipad though. I do like some of the new functions they've brought in - and I suspect there is still housekeeping being done behind the scenes.

Hi Wannabee, I got your message about not being able to read my message.
I have an old Nintendo ds lite with a lego harry potter game for it that my kids no longer play with. I'd be happy to gift it to you and yours, if its something you'd like?
Sticking with the "Small things" thread to keep up us on the straight and narrow.

Hi WB
I can't even get MSE to load on my phone since they updated the site which is very weird. Mind you the phone is ancient so that's probably why
Hope the MRI scan goes OK tomorrow and the results come through quickly for you. Our half term is a week later than usual this year. We've nothing planned, just a quiet week at home. xx
