Collerette show pointers.

Tel explained that In the UK petals can be pointed for showing

but have also been told that
"...most of the judges in UK go for the round ones"

ian Is that what you have noted in your experience?

The majority of my

are ones that I've found online, saved to my computer, uploaded them and then copied their url and paste in my posts like regular images. You can select your personal favourites which you can add as extra default smilies, so when you click on the

at the top the drop down box contains a selection of my favourites.

My positive thinking

is one that I made myself, using clip art and saved as a .gif file and uploaded and used in the same way.

So there you go, as clear as mud me, clear as mud.

Actually with regard to my overseas order I'm only ordering 1 for myself this year. The others are for my Dad. I think that I am growing enough but, I succumbed to this one:
Bloomquist Kelly Ann

Now I know that lots of people have a favourite comfort food. I know that in the US Chicken soup is a favourite choice.

Mine is Ambrosia rice pudding.

Today in desperate need of comfort food, cheer up and calm down. I decide to get some rice.
Unfortunately no can do - can't find the tin opener.

Ambrosia custard might have done the trick but that needed a tin opener to.

All is not lost, discovered a carton of Ambrosia Chocolate custard

and so am armed with a bowl of chocolate custard with sliced banana (could pretend to be vaguely virtuous - 1 of my 5 a day'), I am attempting to chill out.

Still a bit grrr-ey but getting there. Half a bowl left to go...
