I don't call it 'hiding the food' by the way, I just carefully store it right at the back of the cupboard and place larger items in front so it can't be seen :laughing:Oh I know what you mean, which is why I try to be careful when I post photos on here, I always have this dread of neighbours or other people who know me discovering my special place (Telly Talk) and joining  ... Mr L knows I post on here and he used to read some of my stuff, but I think he soon became bored ..Lol!I suppose we do miss out on some things, the other day I bumped into an old work colleague and she's recently spent three months in Australia, she was in a rush when I saw her and she shouted out to me .. "check out my photos they're on facebook" .. I always feel a bit dumb admitting 'I don't do facebook' <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/ssmile/fun/s0208.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="lol    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" />I don't blame you one bit not wanting to join in with this.  I think it could be very disheartening to become part of something so negative.   Also, I think negativity rubs of on other people so others are quick to join in.:coffeelaugh: ... are you still at the bottom of that cliff?So you got it then?  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />When I'm in the big van it has some great mirrors and all the usual safety stuff for when reversing, but unless I can see clearly with my own eyes and not have to rely on the technology (beeping noise)  then I feel uneasy.     Its reassuring to hear that you DFF who drive a large vehicle  far more than I do has the same feeling about reversing .. but I don't think that's a bad thing, it must help to make us be more cautious  and aware?Absolutely right!   ..  especially  the bit about it not applying to the LAST POST THREAD <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" />Ooo I haven't a clue where we are up to with goals <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/msmile/think/m1714.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":confuse:" title="Confuse    :confuse:" data-shortname=":confuse:" />.We could try and do as you suggest my friend and get to 5300 posts by July 1st which is 34 days to go  and we will need 17 more posts ... surely we can't fail?  <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/ssmile/fun/s0228.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lmao:" title="LMAO    :lmao:" data-shortname=":lmao:" /></blockquote>
