Oh Joanne, I know that feeling very well, though it is through the fault of someone else who uses this board!

At least most of the oldies can spell,puctuate and use capital letters. LOL!!! This is a bug bear of mine as I hate to see the english language become text speak and I hate bad grammer-no matter how many exams they say they have passed.
Right- off soapbox now.
Morning Janice. Is Andrew back to school today or is he back already? Good luck to him whenever it is. Angela still has another month off before she starts at Glasgow University so has a part time job at B&Q.
Are you going to the SECC in October as I got the leaflet in the post last week and I am thinking about it?

Just noticed I spelt punctuate wrongly. Must have been in my haste to air my views! LOL!!

Morning peeps, i also fit into this catagory, seems there's quite a few of us then, i thought it was just me and i know what you mean when you say you feel you may say something stupid, but have you noticed it cant be that bad as this post has gone over on to 2 pages. It will probably stop here now as i've posted ROFL!!!!

Just posting to prove you haven't killed it Rachel LOL

i have replied to posts a few times and the posts i have put up just barely got one reply thought it was because im quite new and no-one knows me but can't get to know anyone if most of them ignore me at least i know im not the only one. I do like coming on here and hearing about what everyone is up to though.

Thanks Carol

I've been here forever (or so it seems) Helen and sometimes I don't get any replies either so don't take it to heart. Keep on visiting as it is a good place to be most of the time.

Pat I shouldn't worry, You can always put something like 'This may not be a very popular opinion' or 'Justr my thoughts'... after all, that's what it is... it's your opinion, and as far as I'm aware, we still live in a relatively free society, where people are entitled to their own opnions, surely??

Just my thoughts

Love, Katie xx

this will definitely die now

Sorry to disappoint you

its not dead yet just getting crowded in this kitchen lol but its better to be crowded than to be on my own in a kitchen lol

I hereby declare that all of the participants of this thread stand guilty of failing to "kill the thread" by their very presence.

It thereby follows that I have only added to said crime by participating myself and therefore have also failed in my duty to be a thread killer.

*Shoots hand up in the air!

I did a TEFL (teaching English as a foreign language)course a few years ago and one of the things I learned is that for the last 35 years grammer hasn't been taught in schools because 'progressive' teaching methods made it unfashionable, they assumed kids would simply absorb the rules by osmosis , the government have reintroduced it in the last few years, but too late for me, that's the reason my grammar is so appalling. I even bought the book by Lynne Truss to improve mine, but I still struggle with it.

*puts hand up..*

Although I am guilty of just reading and not posting for an absolute age. I get all paranoid if I post something and no-one has replied and its not necessarily on this board either.

* yoo hoo ~~ waves to natty *
