Now thats a brilliant sight Shirley!  :wow: :wow: :wow:

So glad that these two are getting used to each other (although I'd say it was Chuch who was the brave one getting close!), they will have quick spats... even some of mine who get on really well can have their spats!  ;) :hug: :hug:

Well Done you!  :wow: :hug: :hug:

Great picture Shirley, they aren't doing bad at all.  Reminds me of our first two cats Penny and Squeaky Penny pretended to dislike Squeaky butif ever we'd been out for the day there were always 2 obvious dents in the bed whenever we came in  :sneaky:

I'm just gobsmacked! The way Chuch was when Charlie first came here (11 weeks tomorrow-seems longer lol) and how jealous he was, never in a million years did i expect this!    :wow: Mind you, after their dinner, Chuch went outside and Charlie was brave enough to lie on the part of the bed where Chuch had been-oops! When Chuch came back in, he had a fisticuffs with him, but Charlie stayed where he was!!!   :shocked:
They're now back in separate rooms, but, hey, it's a start!!   :rofl:

So glad to hear that the boys are getting on  :Luv:

I know how you feel about the job because the job I went to after being made redundant and being unemployed for 3 months was awful and I Hated it (I was only there just over 3 weeks) - I kept looking and the job I am at now came along and I Love it, it started off as a 6 month temp contract but after only about 5/6 weeks they offered me a permanent contract and I was over the moon.  Keep your chin up Hun and I will keep my fingers crossed for you that a better job comes along xxx

Hi Baz, the snow's gone-yaaah!!!!-but i've just heard on the news, more is forecast for Wednesday   :(

The job is a bit better cos i'm sitting down most of the time but not that keen at the mo and i managed to knacker the bosses computer (and another one!) last thing on Fri-ooops!!! If you don't use it for a few minutes, it signs off, so you have to log on again-such a pain-and it wouldn't let me, so you have to phone some security place!

Chuch and Charlie are still BFF (i realise now- :doh: ) They've even touched noses twice this weekend!!!!  Charlie is still nervous of him a lot of the time, so i was gobsmacked when that happened! He's going out more now the snow's gone and has learned to stand on Chuchy's little shelter under the window to let me know he's back-awww-so i don't have to leave the door open! (Mind you, it's open now and he's inside!!!!!) I accidently locked him out twice the other night, but he was waiting by the door when i realised he wasn't in his room one time and came when i whistled the other-awww! x

As Janey says, once you've clicked on 'insert quote' then step away from the quote  :evillaugh: It literally takes a split second to insert a quote with just one click so it's not hard it's just that you need to move your cursor away so you don't interfere with the gobbledeegook!

Once you've mastered that it's just a case of highlighting any deleting any words you don't want in the quote - just remember, stay away from the gobbledeegook  :evillaugh:

Hi Shirley,

when you click 'quote' to insert the quote then start typing whatever you want don't touch anything of that quote i.e. make sure your curser is separate from anything in the previous quote so it leaves it as is - if that makes sense.

What, like this v

                     v

How do you get those quotes in a purple box????   :Dont know:    :hug:

Not telling you  :evillaugh:

Oh, go one then...

When you click on reply, below the box you are typing in is everyone's elses posts. At the top right of each persons post there are the words 'insert quote', click on that and it will insert that persons quote into your post. You can click on more than one 'insert quote' so you can multiple quotes from lots of people.

If you only want to quote a certain part of their post, as I have done above, then just highlight the bit you want to remove and delete it just like you would in a word doc or email. The important thing to keep in is the gobbledegook in the square brackets at the beginning and the /quote in square brackets at the end. If you accidentally delete one of the brackets when you are deleting words that you don't want to quote it wont display properly. Like this...

I hate working too Baz   :naughty: The bosses are female-the main one is nice but my immediate one is a bit snotty i think .  :rofl:  I saw the main one on Tues night and am in my proper department tonight-  :wooooo: so hopefully, there'll be more sitting down lol! I work 24 hours, which sounds great, but there's 3 evenings 4.45-8pm and 2 days 8.30-5pm, which means twice i get home at 8.30pm and have to be back there at 8.30am and do a full day!!!!!!!  :Crazy: and   :tired:

Chuch and Charlie seem ok left all day-no lumps of fur anywhere at least!   lol

What's 'bff'??   :doh:

Check in your profile Shirley, there is something in there about the notifications on threads!  ;)

I have visions of Chuch strutting his stuff while meowmy is out, he really sounds like he is loving having his new pal there (even tho Charlie dont know its friendship he is after!), you know the saying "curiosity....." I reckon one day you will see them both having a ball!  :wow: :Luv2: :hug:

Hope you got to your different dept today and that its warmer!  :hug: :hug:
