    Hey there!
    In the box where you type your message , there is an icon which is an "A" with a black line underneath , selecting your text and pressing that allows you to change the colour.
    Good luck with the challenge!

    Hi all im afraid im not spending that much time online anymore and was wondering if anyone minded if they took over the challenge for the rest of the year? I feel its unfair for me to carry on if im not online to post and update?

    One question, Mumzy.... are you running off with Mr DT, as per the guessing on 4k thread??? :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    I'd love to help out again here, but I'm having trouble keeping up with forums in between work, eBid, wedding preps (DD's NOT mine!) and all my other challenges. If I can help out, I'll try. We've only got 4 months left to run, perhaps the thread will run itself and anyone new can join in voluntarily? It'll still be fun on 1st December awaiting the results of the original contenders, assuming we have all kept to the challenge and not counted or broken the seals on out savings pots? :)

    Hope all is well, Mumzy, and do try your best to pop online now and again to let us know how you are getting on. Has your library got free Internet access you could use whilst kiddies are there?
    I reserve the right not to spend.
    The less I spend, the more I can afford.
