Do excuse my shocking punctuation, it's gone to the dogs.

Write 100 lines
I must concentrate more.

Hi Ana. Sorry, my post was a bit obscure.

I was having a stab at humour as I know we have a few retired teachers among us and I saw mistakes in my punctuation, so imagined them correcting my mistakesgrin

Oh, the times I've wished for an 'edit' button myself! grin

I think we all notice our own mistakes more than others do. Even retired teachers make them sometimes...wink

Thank you, but I hasten to add that I am not a teacher, retired or otherwise! smile

The funny part of this post is that it was actually my first one and the first reply I got was confused. grin

Surely not your first post, Agus? The first thread you've started, perhaps? Either way, it seems to have run its course! grin
