Alas! A kiss!!

Rhubarb I loved the latest chapter. You are such a good writer.

And of course I want Molly to be a pilot.

Elsie very impressed. Loving the text alert
RL and work taking over some what at mo. Just learned to the audio clips before I start marking gcse mocks!
As someone mentioned part of the reason is to shock pupils into realising they actually do have to do some revision not just rely on what they may remember from lessons several months ago as well as practise at exam tech I questions and having more than one exam on a day. Hope it proves a constructive experience rich tea -in my experience if he knuckles down now he should do okay. Hooe parents evening is productive too

Looking at blindfold clip I think it might be -hair and chin look right. Might gonna have to watch it on smart TV to see if bigger image helps

Thanks elsie I now have a Dropbox account, so at least i know they are safe :)

icemist is it BA? Looks like his mop of curly hair and chisled chin????

nickel ahh love the Brains and Dangled pics, lusting after CJ I forget to look at the others!

Ooh, how about Molly saying I don't know how I'm able to keep my hands off you for SPO?
Elsie, can't wait to listen to them once the kids are asleep, I'm so technically crap though, might gonna need a step by step guide as to how to put it on my phone? Just need to chose which one to have, or can you have it alternate?! How exciting!
And i still need to read ff .... Wish the kids would hurrry up and sleep!

Ps I thought it might be that Sean guy, don't know their names in it .... Have a look in the clip, thought maybe the jaw wasn't quite firm enough for CJ?cant believe I've studied it that much!!!!! Mental or what!,

After close examination, I don't think it's BA in the blindfold scene. I think it's that Sean Teale guy dammit

Maybe I need to check again.....

I've it paused on the tv and I'm not sure....it could be Sean Teale...think the lips are too full for BA...but they both have curlyish hair... dammit 2 weeks before we will know!!

tell you what, thats a whole new FF waiting to be written....

Richtea hope you get what you need at parents' eve, I agree with aspara that it's about more than just grades at this stage.
aspara happy marking, got a pile of written coursework & today's speaking exams to mark.
RL definitely taking over, so looking forward to catching up with everything on here & ff

OK iphone ringtones/text alerts in the dropbox account:

IPHONE ONLY FOR NOW...
Instructions as follows for putting them on your phone

1 Connect your iPhone to your computer using the device's USB connector cable and launch iTunes if the application does not automatically start.

2 Click "File" in the menu bar of the iTunes application window and select "Add to Library."

3 Use the "Add to Library" dialog box to find the M4R that you want to transfer to your iPhone. The M4R file is located where you saved it on your computer.

4 Click the M4R file in the "Add to Library" dialog box and click the "Choose" button (it will be added to your music library).

5 Click "Tones" in the left side bar of iTunes (make sure our phone is connected via USB and you're now looking at the contents of your phone, not your itunes library on your mac/pc)

6 Click, drag and drop the M4R file from the "Tones" library window pane (on mac/pc) to the iPhone icon displayed in the left side bar. ITunes transfers the ringtone file to your iPhone.

Access the M4R ringtone file on your phone by going to "Settings," tapping "Sounds" and tapping "Ringtone." The M4R file is shown in the list of ringtones.

My caveat is that itunes keeps changing how stuff works so this may differ on your phone! PM me if you're having probs with your iphone version and I'll try and help!

Going to have a read of FF now, watch the Reign stuff before I tackle other devices!

Don't think it's BA. Not 'refined' enough features. Doesn't stop me enjoying a little day dream though...

onlygirljen love the new ff. am hooked already!! here's the link for everyone www.fanfiction.net/s/10955259/1/How-Could-I-Forget

onlygirljen brilliant ff can't wait for more (I hope you don't have anything else on)

richtea I appreciate your "confession" today and understand how you feel, completely. I think a lot depends on the maturity of your boy. I am SURE he'll get there at some point, you just want to give him all the tools and opportunities so that he can do what he wants and can do best in life, without struggling.

Personally, I'd say that in today's world you must have qualifications, because the competition is fierce and the market is global *. You either shoot high, or you risk being trapped in the reeds, and regret it.
On the other hand, the beauty of learning, the depth that it gives to a person, and the relative ease of learning when you are young compared to when you are older...that's also important. Anyone can re-train and change direction at any age, I believe that, but the stuff that gets into a teenager's brain is potentially much more and much more quickly. So it's a pity not to take the opportunity and keep on discovering more of this world. For my own kids, at least, I would want to give them all of this and more, and if they choose not seize the chance...well, I'd be sad.

I am the typical example of the qualified immigrant that came here because, to put it simply, there are nowhere near enough English graduates able and willing to do my job. (Which is a fantastic, amazing job, btw. But requires a tough degree and some skills that England lost years ago, when manufacturing became "boring" and finance became trendy...the scientific skills associated with a trade invented in the uk* disappeared. Pop! Now 80% of the people doing it are Italian or German, the rest maybe Swiss/polish/Greek....isn't that ironic??)

Oops, half my rambling became bold! How rude! Sorry

onlygirl read your new ff before checking back in here. It's excellent. Hope you get to do another chapter quite soon!

rhubarb another great chapter!

icemist have your colleagues said anything about your CJ calendar? If they didn't know before, they must surely do now!

elsie going to try and work out some of your instructions now. Do you offer a helpline/support service if required?!

I have a rolling screensaver at work with dozens of photos I've taken which people often admire but there's been just one of CJ on there since my immediate male colleagues rumbled my obsession early on. The man who used to sit next to me has left the company (much to my disappointment) and they are interviewing for a replacement. A few people have seen the picture of CJ and asked who he is so now I say "Meet xxxx's replacement!" Most of them look quite baffled and as you might have guessed, NONE of them have watched OG!

excuse the rhyme...here you go SPO

soundcloud.com/elsie3g/molly-sometimes-i-dont-know-how

yeah no worries ilove, just shout

we were quite busy today, so no-one noticed- I need to decide where he is going to live on my desk, close enough to have a quick glance at but not too close to distract me...

Wow onlyjen, that's such a start!! Keep on writing, please!!!

i don't know which one to have as my message tone... too much choice

don't het many emails- mainly alerts when someone posts in here, now CJ calls me 'private dawes' when someone posts here

lol hubby just text me 'what have we just learnt' blasted out of my phone, made me jump

Icemist Blindfold photo - only one comment comes to mind - Blind Man's Buff!

FF from everyone - so much to catch up on and enjoy and so little time at the moment. I will be treating myself to a FF fest as soon as humanly possible. Just waiting out at the moment!
