Hi Lorraine, I just wanted to say thank you for pointing out I had word verification on. I really didn't think I had but it turns out new blogger doesn't allow you to not select it. I think I've sorted it out now though. New users won't be able to change it for long though it seems. Anyway thanks again Jo @ T4T xx

Donna Hanley said...
