Please......sob....sob......sob.......sniff........if you have posted a thread asking a question.......... and someone replies (eg ME! LOL)....please don't send them (Me) a personal message asking something else...........please post back on the thread (Click ''Add Reply'' once your thread is open)........I know GR doesn't make it easy to understand at first..............but I can no longer cope with so MANY messages from so MANY people where I don't remember what they are talking about!!!!! I then have to wander from board to board aimlessly looking for their thread (OK - I don't HAVE to, but I do!! LOL)...............I cannot keep up!!! LOL ......This sounds like a terrible MOAN, but it isn't really - more a case of hysteria at this end..............(think the mad woman in the attic in Jane Eyre)..........Happy Hunting - Merry xx

Oh Merry that was so heart felt and you sounded weary, but you put it very nicely, and the less pm's you answer the more time to help you have X

Merry, take some advice (unlike Olde Crone), don't play with matches! Next time it might not be just your hair. Tina

Merry, You MUST be weary as you can't even spell your own name. I'm sure most people DO appreciate all you do - I know I do!! Take a break + come back refreshed!! (Hope the new hair-do looks good) Dea x

Dear Merry, Im a newbie and for an OAP I dont think I'm doing too bad seeing as unlike you my brain takes longer to load and store in my memory. Ive been reading all your fantastic tips for ages and occasionally ask for help. I think you are all fantastic and very patient, I dont know what we newbies would do without you. Keep up the good work. Ann from Chesterfield
