I have got down to 47 unread.  I need to get down to all unread to refresh
the page which now stands at 8795 messages.
Could you all stop talking for 24 hours?  ;-))  LOL. No chance!

Heh... I gave up on trying to catch up with all the messages on this
forum a long time ago. =o) 24 hours? Wouldn't help me catch up on all
the stuff I've already missed that this group has discussed!  After
all, cats have to be fed, loved, and cuddled, and every so often, we
simply DO have to sleep!

You think these guys are bad, you should see the Woodworking group. I don't
know how these guys get any work done, they're so busy yakking. Nothing
worse than a bunch of chatty old men talking about their wives (SWMBO). :)
There must be a 100 new messages every hour in that group.

down to the new messages,every so often I have to get my son to delete
a few thousand,he's just done that for me today lol Jean.P.

I only got down to 47 by sitting at the computer most of the day.  I
actually got down to all read. Now I am on 80 unread, 82 not downloaded.
Tomorrow I will be back at work.  When I get home there will be at least 100
new messages.  It won't be possible for me to keep up when I'm back at work.
I shall just have to scan for purrs requests and posts from  my favourites.
(Yes, we all have favourite posters)

Don't feel bad. I've never had time to read even 10% of the messages here!

I don't either.  I usually skim, looking for new threads, specific people,
or threads I've responded to.

I've actually configured my newsreader to bump responses to my own posts
up to the top and color them bright red, which has saved me from missing
a lot of important info.  Even if I don't have the chance to read
through every recent post, I can see those that pertain to me directly.

I can't see how you will have time to return to work next week. ;-)

For 10 seconds or so I managed to read them all, and could refresh the page
at last!  I had to do it very quickly!
You are right, Adrian, I don't have time to go back to work.  I've always
found it difficult to manage to work on top of everything else.  Like my 18
huts of rare breed chickens, my pair of geese, my cats, my 1/4 acre garden
and all the things that get a bit neglected like the housework ;-P

However, it's official.  I am going back to work on Tuesday...
I can't say I want to. but I suppose I'm lucky to have a job.

Purrs for your successful transition back to the dreadful world of work.
And for KFC and BF to quickly forgive you for your neglect.

Just think, though, with luck you might be able to honourably retire at
60 before the Govt. up civil service retirement age to 65!

Our thoughts will be with you

Thank you, Gordon.  I can't say I'm looking forward to it.

> And for KFC and BF to quickly forgive you for your neglect.

Oh, BF will, but I'm expecting major sulks from KFC!  She has hardly moved
away from in front of the kitchen fire for months.  I am in two minds
whether to leave the back door open when I'm gone so they can go in and out.
It would probably be quite safe, but there will be no heating on.

I am not classified as a civil servant, unfortunately.  Those exalted beings
worked for Central Government and get large pensions.
I am a much more humble local government employee.  I've already been told I
have to work until I'm 62 and my pension will probably be at a level that
I'll need to find a part time job.

Don't believe all you read.
