I NEVER forget anything at christmas!
We are having a special night away on 22nd, so that wipes out 22nd and 23rd. Christmas eve will be very busy, food wise.

It's just super to have things delivered to the door & so far I've been at home for all the parcels(sheer luck). Also everything has been fine and I've not had to do any returns. I don't have the time at the moment to go christmas shopping and go round the shops.

I've loved my online shopping. Our postman (Anthony) is now officially called Santa.

Message

Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,

, type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,

, type [grin] or :o
For a wink,

, type [wink]
For a shocked face,

, type [shock]
For an angry face,

, type [angry]
For an embarrassed face,

, type [blush]
For a sad face,

, type [sad] or :(
For an envious face,

, type [envy]
For a sceptical face,

, type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
