I hope everyone has voted we had to restart the voting thread due to a problem (no one's perfect :) ) and we do try to be fair to everybody. don't miss your chance so if you haven't voted vote now it will be closing soon and you don't want to miss out on your chance to enjoy the fun looks like a pretty good competition this year. Laters
Closing soon ?
End of Tuesday, I understood.
Is this still correct ?
Thanks for popping in and keeping us informed.

If any of you could do the mod a favor if you know of anybody who voted in the first thresd and did not vote in the second. Just a friendly reminder that the voting was restarted they should vote again thank you we want as many people as possible to vote they shouldn't be left out of the fun just because the forum made a mistake :-(

I have done this.
If they don't vote a second time, could their original votes be reinstated ?

I would say no, buI'm a big believer in people's votes being sacred. I noticed one of two people changing their vote since the problem was fixed I wouldn't want to presume that they want to keep their votes the same and not make a differenent vote. but I can bring it up to the other mods.& see what they have to say, if I am out voted no problem

If it were me, I'd prefer that my votes were counted, even if i might have changed them on the re-vote.
Better to have my votes included for pics i may not have voted for again, than not have any of my votes counted at all.

Only two people.
One is aware and is going to vote again, the second only comes on the forum once every one to three weeks or so and is unlikely to see that there has been a restart.

Feeling somewhat stuffed following the Steak and Kidney Pud for Sunday lunch.

I took a photo, but it looks a bit anaemic compared with real life. It tasted great :)

Son is now heading back to his flat in north London, JoesDad is clearly due to die imminently despite eating a huge portion at lunch, daughter hasn't yet left Glasgow.

I need to go find Joe. Afternoon soaks work best during his hibernation wind-down.

Man flu doesn't seem to effect appetite.
It actually increases it.
A craving for beer is also common.
The pud looked super.

Afternoon all. I'm feeling somewhat cheered following conversations with both my mum and sister.

JoesGranny has this week had her hair cut, made a batch of chutney and been to her U3A class and is going out for walks because she's bored. My sister reports that she is putting weight back on.

It's all sounding very positive and much more normal :) Fingers crossed that it lasts :)

Heyyy everyone !
Goodness, goodness.
What a surprise.
It's very quiet in here tonight, but i'll offer you the same welcome as everyone else.
Grab an armadillo to sit on, choose a beverage and our one-legged pirate will help if he's sober and we're serving custard creams and custard tonight.
Welcome to the Cold Dark Room.
Long live Morocco!
oh, and watch out for the lying jellyfish.
