I added pretty much straight away with tips and records.

Bit longer to add on the general board but only a matter of weeks after joining.xx

Was a member for about 4months before I added to the threads on general /chat.

Best thing I ever did, as I have spent many hours laughing at the banter that goes on. Even if I don't add to a thread, I still enjoy reading them.

~~~~~waves to everyone~~~~

I was adding to tips and records early on, but never really looked at General or Chat until about a year ago.

I first posted about on here in July/August time.

I joined late Feb 2005 and I don't think it took me long to start joining in on this board, and my tree went down the list of priorities lol
One of my first threads was about our broken beds, those were the days lol, (only kidding honest) and another was the thread about the Pot Noodle horn advert, turns out many others disliked it as much as I did.
After that, I caught verbal diaorrhea as you can tell.

I only found the message boards last year... but had been all joined up for a couple of years by then (accidentally, and via a 12 year old neighbour, lol). I watched for about 6 months, then joined in a bit here and there.... took me a couple of weeks to find my comfy spot, now you can't get rid of me, lol!!!

Love

It took a couple of months Joy because I did not know my websites from my elbow.....didn't know my way around.....still don't half the time.....slow learner perhaps....

.....but when I did, I didn't realise that you should introduce yourself first, I just jumped in and added to threads.....didn't even know what a thread was.....I have calmed down since, I hope.....

My first ever thread was posted under the name of "The 2nd Wife" - my step daughter was getting married and I needed advice on ettiquette!

Shouldn't have bothered really as the family turned out to have no class whatsoever! LOL!!

But so glad I did, as I've met some fabulous people that have added to my life in ways they will probably never know!

And not forgetting I got to trek the Great Wall of China in the mad woman's name!

WALK THAT WALL, WALK THAT WALL - I still hear her say that now and again! God rest her soul!
