Finally found it! I’ve always managed to miss it when it’s been bumped this year and had to search, but I couldn’t remember Dan’s exact username (I’ve been looking for DanfromDorking) Finally got it by searching for Fröhliche Weihnachten, which doesn’t come up often on Mumsnet!

I can't work out how to view your pm - can I do it in the app?

I don't think you can, you have to open mn in the browser and log in.
The the bit where you can see notifications and get to PMs is in the top right

Think I’ve found them all, but I keep losing count. 13 or 14 I think! Joyce Grenfell is my favourite.

DanFmDorking · 28/12/2024 23:26

@RustyBear ... I keep losing count. 13 or 14

I have no idea how many links there are.

I was trying to ‘post’ this Puzzle at 8pm (as usual) on Christmas Eve and because of some technical reasons (which I don’t understand) I couldn’t get it to ‘post’.

I then spent the rest of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day morning, checking, changing, moving, re- jigging, re-writing, adding, removing this and that. Using a text file, MS Word file, Web page data, communicating with Mumsnet (who were trying to be helpful) and generally tearing my hair out.

I made so many changes because I thought that maybe (just maybe) it was the links that were causing the problem

Eventually (I said Eventually) I got it to ‘Post’ at ‘look it up yourself’ and I still don’t know why it was that post that actually worked.

I have no intension of counting the links yet again (there were originally 17).

If you lot say there are 13 then there are 13, I’m not going to argue!

Finally found them all! For my favourite - I can't choose between Rob Brydon and Don McMillan, both of them made me laugh out loud!

I'm back at work tomorrow so thank you for cheering up a glum afternoon and for persevering against the technical odds!

Happy new year @DanFmDorking !

RupaulsHagface · 29/12/2024 15:19

Sorry for the delay - I've been out in the post Christmas sales - bought nothing except an iced bun which I'm devouring now. Good Luck - Dan.
