    Whispers. I liked the separate list for the smilies as it was nice & easy to see! Sorry. 
    @beanielou, I'm glad you said that because I was just about to say that I was going to go on updating it as a link too - the html I use is exactly the same so it's no great trouble to do that. So there will be both options! xx :)

    NSD on Wednesday 1st and Thursday 2nd May.

    It's my day off tomorrow, so I'm heading off to to the  city to see an art exhibition.
    I'll be sure to take a picnic and drinks from bome, but I just know I'm going to end up spending a little money. 
    If I do spend money, it will be after careful consideration (honest!) 😁

    @KajiKita thank you xx :) I do think doing both is a good idea, the emojis cheer up the look of the thread, but the other site was better for mobile view, and also because MSE occasionally implements changes without any warning, it's good to have a fallback. :):)
