Wife and son back now, all the extra sleep I had this week has been erased in terms of benefit as he was up 4 times last night.

He has also given me his cold, so I feel like crap

Wouldn't have it any other way though, so YAY

I needed to raise £6,912 for the deposit on the house that I've started to buy. This seemed to be a mammoth task, so much so that I was facing the possibility of just shoving it on a credit card and dealing with it after.

Since the 24th April, through luck and the selling of excess car parts, I've managed to raise £6,437.

Woo!

Pretty sure you're not allowed to do this in any case.

This will perhaps be the greatest yay in the history of yays.

Today I had a kinder surprise that had a double double shell. It was an outer shell of milk chocolate with an inner shell of white chocolate, followed by a further inner shall of milk chocolate, follwed by a final white chocolate inner shell.

There was twice as much yummy chocolate, it was really heavy AND I got a build your own working padlock with a secret compartment as a toy. It also had stickers.

Boom.

For the last couple of years I've been working on and off on a website. I finally went live a couple of weeks ago and today there is a (very small) pending amount of sales commission waiting for me.

I believe that now makes me an entrepreneur with his own internet start up.

Speaking of cookies (nice link)

The mobile site has stopped remembering where I am in about 85% of the forums threads. When I open a thread, it just defaults to the top of the last read page. Most annoying.

Are you touching the right bit (the text, specifically?).

Does it still work if you look at it on a "real" computer?

I have either won or come runner up in each of the 3 baking contests I've entered at work.

I'm awesome.

There was a recent scandal at our place where someone entered a bought cake from a local cake maker into a baking contest and won but then got busted when the winning cake got posted onto Facebook.

MaliA · **Posted:** Tue May 20, 2014 15:36

I didn't have much time to prepare, so I rotary deposited them in a kitchen at work, then 9 minutes in the oven. BOOM! Done. next time, I'd swap teh caramel for dark chocolate, and add a bit more carrot flavor.

Yes and yes. I've recently updated my phone but before then, it worked fine.

I've deleted my cookies on both my phone and the board but I'm at a loss as to what would be different with the new software on my phone?

Yup. See the link - Mobile IE doesn't support anchors.

But TheVision is using it OK?

Oh... You said anchors...

TheVision · **Posted:** Tue May 20, 2014 16:18

Did you add that link after I posted? Anyway, that's weird because it used to work fine before I updated my phone.

Never mind.. Thanks for the help.

Pay Rise get. Works out about an extra 17% an hour. Woo!

Kinda, but not Kinder (Surprise, double double shelled).

Lave understands.

Congratulations, though. You should buy yourself a treat (a chocolatey treat, with a toy).
