    Recent time in college meant I had to write & a lot. Never quite mastered it. Only came out properly about half the time.
    Agreed, Ampersand is a difficult one.

    Is that what that thing is called?

    I’m crap at doing that if it extends over 3 lines on a page. Can’t get the pointy bit centered at all after that and the curved bit is not very pretty either.

    Same. I dot the i only on very rare occasions. And my capital E will change many times in the same sentence. Sometimes its the block capital E like it's typed, other times it's the curvy E like this:

    I’ve never written “and” like that in my life. Should you start bottom right and go with the straight line to top left or start with the curl at the bottom?

    In if we’re really having a game.

    My & starts with the top of the sticky out bits then goes around clockwise for the bottom half and anti clockwise for the top half and ends with the bottom of the sticky out bits. In theory anyway but it is usually difficult to pull off correctly.

    I'll setup a thread shortly and as soon as we have 8-10 we will get going.

    I'll let the new people in the forum sign up to the new game notification thread if they want. Don't want to hijack the Feb game thread or, indeed, this thread any further.

    Has she forgiven you for her vet visit? Mine goes through PTSD every time I take him!

    Yeah she was incredibly jumpy last night though when we got her home. Wouldn't settle the whole night the poor thing. She's back to normal now but is intermittently walking across my laptop at this point in an effort to get my attention. lol.

    Ah, I know that technique well. My other cat specializes in it.

    Our home is currently a cattery as we're minding the folks pets for the week while they're away. Was rudely awoken by one of them this morning clawing my feet for food.

    Not impressed at all with me being on night shift :(

    No cats allowed in the bedroom during the night. Make it your golden rule Necro. Our one would be sitting on your head at 4am looking for food if we let her in. It's bad enough listening to her howling in the kitchen.

    Mine are allowed in the bedroom. Just as well since I don’t get any other offers.

    We’re all on the bed as we speak.
