    Happy New Year Adrian!

    How about in Recent discussions - entertainment/everything else? 
    That caters for everyone and would be easier to find and keep up with 
     

    Good afternoon @WhatThe and Happy New Year to you too! :)

    We've today separated the entertainment and games so they're not in recent discussions but can all be found together in one place in the new games room. Hopefully as you say, it'll be easier for members to find and keep up with the content that interests them.

    Another thing that would be really helpful is a spellchecker on this website..

    The questionnaires are lengthy and hard to fill in - it is not always possible or practical to access help with this. Returning them in legible form would make them far easier for DWP to process and increase the likelihood of an award being made.  

    Spelling and learning are not things we leave behind at school. It's in everyone's interests for guidance and information to be presented in the most accurate way.

    Yes, much easier than having to scroll through the first page every time, brilliant thank you!

    Good afternoon @WhatThe and Happy New Year to you too! 

    So far Adrian it's been a great new year and after my Christmas crash was the last thing I expected! 
    I was super excited at the prospect of watching Jules' Annual Hootenanny and my mood changed overnight. I've already had three surprises in under a week!

    The most recent was me joining a class on Friday after a little procrastination last week and again on Friday morning. I was able to identify that fear was stopping me but it was only a short walk for me and the class was free. Had the class been held further away or charged fees, I'd have thought to myself oh I'd love to do that BUT..

    So I got off my backside and came home feeling tremendous  :)  
    The lights, heat and clutter bothered me but I managed to stay focused, enjoy the class and feel accepted into the group. Quite an accomplishment for me so a happy post from me for a change  :)    
     
    (real-time comments are helping a lot too, thanks again)

    Hilbil, I feel so lucky!! I've had my mum's old machine, tools and materials for years but no confidence to start and this is my chance to learn again
