    Nails are sorted, gel all removed and re-applied. They've had several complaints so are doing some training with the new lady to try and find out what she's doing wrong.

    I like the new look other than it being a wee bit white!

    I've only ever used the 'latest posts' button to see what's happening on the forum.

    i can't find this on the updated site. Has anyone else found it?

    I think the bell icon shows the latest posts that have updates, just the ones I follow though. Then I just use the debt free diaries button to show everything….there’s probably an easier way as I tend to do most things the hard way 🤭

    I'm still finding my way round the changes but apart from everything being on the left (why did it used to be on the right?) I'm okay with it. It's a bit pale but not too pale for me - though a bit of colour would be nice. I'm on the laptop so far, haven't tried on my mobile.

    They didn't bring back the old emojis, so I'm a bit sad about that, and I would like the bookmarks constantly in view.

    Apparently I have 58 new comments on my diary according to the bell, I can't believe I'm so popular so I assume that's a glitch. :D 

    Hope the new nails are nice!

    2024: Trainers 5, dress 7, slippers 5, 2 prs socks (gift) 2, 3 prs white socks 3, t-shirts x 2 10, 6 prs socks: mostly gifts 6, duvet set 7.5 = 45.5/68 coupons
    20.5 coupons used in 2020. 62.5 used in 2021. 94.5 remaining as of 21/3/22
