    I like the text box but the jury is very out on the quote system at the moment…

    Nice to have a choice of 😍😬🤑🙊 to use too - although I do wonder whether they're already looking for way of disabling 🙄 as that is one emoji that has never been available on here previously as far as I know?! I still want blue haired shrieky man back though! 😄

    Quotes worked ok for me yesterday.  Much easier not to accidentally type in the quote!  

    I miss the old emojis as well, there were some good ones there.  It's good to have the new range of emojis, though I used the windows key and . to get them up in the previous one.  This is much easier with them incorporated.   There is a definite need for a rolleyes emoji though!

    And now the snaxzzy text box and choice of emojis has gone again - teething problems I assume! (The issue with the quotes thing is over on the main DFW board the easiest way to comment on people's SOAs is to type in alongside their figures with your comment in bold - which I don't believe you can do with the new system - there may be a workaround though) 

    Adding to the list of "smileys I'd like back though - the fainting "Thud!" one!

    Oh that's a good point, I hadn't thought about that.  Annoying it's gone again though.

    Yes, I liked that one.  And the dirty "grouphug" one 😁😆

    I've finished for the week, yay!  It's been a busy week despite being a short one.

    I actually managed to finish at 4 today which was lovely.  I've been busy listing on eBay since (around sorting the kids etc out).  14 listings done so far and another 7 to go if I don't get too distracted!

    I did a lot of peopling last weekend, so hoping for less of that this weekend.  I should be a hermit :D  I need to tidy around, and hopefully a bit more sorting.  The weather's looking rubbish, so we'll watch the coronation at home and probably not bother venturing further afield.  I might go to the farm shop and get some of their lush doughnuts as a treat.
