    Hey all! I did it, I found an easier way of doing the tables this morning. The only pain is it doesn't copy and paste the pics if you re-post the table. So I will have to put them in again each time. But let's go with it for now. If it turns out to behave weirdly later with more emojis, we can think about it again then. Untitled Image

    @cathybird - I just copied and pasted your table above on desktop but I had to wait a while for the emoji to load 😉

    thank you @cathybird for running this thread, will stick with my 10 for February. Determined to keep it up.
    Not a great start though, went out for Sunday lunch have family visiting. Hopefully will do better tomorrow.

    Good luck everyone!

    @Dizzycap oh interesting! Maybe it just fails to copy and paste the emojis if you try to do it from "edit comment" view. The only thing is when you copied and pasted it squeezed the first column so none of the names fit any more. But that's not too hard to fix, so that's good!
