not quite sure,but it seems like the holy grail to an undecided breeder on the other thread.

Sixth key in from the right, second row down. Just above End key (which you can use to go down)

That was to Makealist (in case you think I've gone puggled)

I second on dropping the 'dear'. I always feel a bit like June Cleaver with that.

I thought it was 'Darling' son\daughter - not just dear!

Those with lots of children are going to end up with posts that look like a chess conundrum - d7, s4, d2, s9

It is a good idea tho, Cod, I think.

I have an s1.8, then? Is that right?

I think their position is relevant - but the current system doesn't allow that where you have two sexes. eg dd1 could actually be your fourth child. dd1 (4/4)(3) would work - ie first dd, fourth child of four; three years old. But I think it's too ambitious!

Is that slash round the wrong way? Darling son/daughter. Yes it was.

Oh sorry. Do carry on.

Thanks jangly.... who would of guessed that the home key had "home" written on it

What about those of us with twins??? with only a minute between them?? Could be a little confusing if i put d2.4m(10.34am) and s2.4m(10.35am) in each post.

I like the D (for dear or darling or devil or devious or delicious or dratted)

I like the numbers too signifying where in the pecking order they lie too

I also thought the given was DD2(9) or DS(4) with the numbers in brackets denoting age

prrrbbbbttttt to the lot of ya

I dunno you and your new-fangled ideas, you'll be throwing out the baby with the bathwater next

Yes, you'd definitely need the brackets. Other websites do the DD2 thingy. Anyone might be surprised at, say, DS16.

and then be too polite to mention it!!
