Thanks for letting us know about farm foods and butter, there is one nearish my dds so may ask her to drop In for me. I prefer butter to marg, but as its more expensive I'm more economical with it so it lasts about the same amount off time. I still use marg when making cakes etc though.

Yes. if you have written the message there will be a settings button on the top right that allows you to edit or delete the message. I like it. Forums aren't as popular as they were in the naughties - FB groups have taken over, but I like the forum format.Scottiedog_3 said:Can you edit messages on this thing? It feels very primitive - like the old eighties bulletin boards!
