Following on in the spirit of the other forum members I think it's time the parents of Gloucestershire rally together and start their own countdown to allocation day. Please feel free to join in with contributions but here's one to start us off......
Ok will post instructions but please excuse my awful explanation - I think there are several ways of doing it but what I did was find an image on the net (must not have a copyright symbol on it) then right click with the mouse and go to properties. Highlight the web link shown in there (starts with http) and copy and paste it into your message. After this highlight the link within your message and then click on the IMG button above. If you then preview the message you should see the picture.
I know I am devestated to have missed the party - was so tired from my sleepless night Friday (allocation day letter nightmares!) that I headed off to bed very early!
