Egluntyne Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 PM's stay in your outbox until the recipient logs on. If they happen to be online when you send it....it goes immediately. If you have PM'd someone who logs on rarely....it can sit there for weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Oh I see, that explains it (you are so clever ). How do you know these things . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Ah! Well that's a relief, I was worried that I hadn't sent it. I'm still puzzled about my missing 'new' pm, but I've had another pm since then so somethings are getting through! Thanks for the explanation Egluntine.

Egluntyne Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 It was dire this aft....I couldn't get on for about an hour at one point. I started to get the DT's.

Cate in NZ Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I've been struggling to get on this evening I've actually got a (rare) free half hour or so and was looking forward to some forum time and it kept redirecting me to Google listings for Omlet . Very unhappy Here now, but the ironing is now crying out to be done. Hmmm..... ironing or forum Ok sounds like no contest, but can I send my children to school shirtless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very unhappy Here now, but the ironing is now crying out to be done. Hmmm..... ironing or forum Ok sounds like no contest, but can I send my children to school shirtless Well, since my oldest son asked what I'd got against creases, I don't worry about it too much! Send 'em in wrinkly shirts - you might start a new trend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessa the Duchess Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Here now, but the ironing is now crying out to be done.

chelsea Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 or wash it again! If something is too creased I put it back in the wash I dont do much ironing here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillfamily Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Make them wear a jumper over the top (that's what I do ) It's winter......my lot aren't allowed to remove their jumpers ..........so if I'm pushed for time their shirts don't get ironed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Make them wear a jumper over the top (that's what I do ) Great idea, and it works a treat for Immi.......I just tell her not to remove her uniform sweatshirt and she's fine. Seb on the other hand wears a white shirt, school tie, and a blazer, no jumper, sweatshirt, vest or coat, regardless of weather. So I feel like a neglectful mum if I send him out in creases. But I could get him to iron his own. It works with going out clothes.........not sure that school uniform will attract the same interest That said, I'm still here.....not managed to tear myself away yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 But I could get him to iron his own. It works with going out clothes.........not sure that school uniform will attract the same interest I was going to suggest that all these older children should be ironing their own I had to start at age 12....... so did my two younger sisters....... and so did my daughter and son when they reached the magical age...........

Ain't Nobody Here Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I've been making my boys iron their own school shirts for a few years now (they're 13 and 15). I iron everything else though . YS irons them diligently but ES now doesn't care if they're creased so doesn't bother . I hang up the shirts carefully so they're not too bad and try to ignore any creases .

little chickadee Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Make them wear a jumper over the top (that's what I do ) It's winter......my lot aren't allowed to remove their jumpers ..........so if I'm pushed for time their shirts don't get ironed That's what I used to do in the TA. I hate ironing and in the winter we weren't allowed to take our jumpers off even though we were sweating away with the heating on full power. I just ironed the collars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 That's the good thing about the winter you can hide a lot under a jumper My ironing pile has reached legendary proportions and really must be tackled today, because OH is taking the day off tomorrow to do the allotment and I will be helping.
