This week the tip's had a bit of a revamp and I'd like to know what you think. The tip's going out Thursday afternoon but does take a few hours to send to everyone!

    sorry I know this isn't about the new look tip (waiting to get mine via email before commenting) so feel free to delete this,
    just wanted to point out that I'm reading it via the site and the post of the month says 'August' and links to the 'August' thread too

    Haven't received the tip by email yet - but I prefer reliability to looks.

    Why is the tip sometimes dated Wednesday, sometimes dated Thursday?

    I know you can't control when it reached everyone's in box, but if it arrived at a consistent date and time on the website home page, that would help.

    Thanks.

    I would probably think it comes on different days a) due to the workload in the office and b) if there's something in particular Martin wants to include

    Chill :)

    I just pop in now and then.... :)

    It used to be thursday , then it changed to wednesday for a while now its thursday again.

    I think it depends on how much work is going on in the office like bridie said as well, but it seems to have been a thursday for the past few weeks.

    Sorry forgot to add that I had my email arrive about 45 mins ago and it is much easier to read this week. I like the new format a lot

    It's on different days primarily due to my filming schedule at the moment - simple as that really. Not much that can be done, sometimes it does wait while we're checking certain info.

    Mine came later than usual this week, but no probs with that.

    I do like the new look better than the old one. I'm not sure what's different, but it's definitely easier and more comfortable to read.

    definate improvement martin thank you, it's a lot easier to follow and I'm less likely to lost track of where i was when my "darling" children interrupt.

    wonder if losing your kids in the garage for a few weeks is considered moneysaving? ;)
