Me too

 

Thanks for the advice EL, sounds like that's what happened to me but I do notice they are deducting some from both small pensions.  Still obviously they need my small amount of money to keep them afloat so I suppose I shouldn't moan

 

Bad news about the fridge freezer moonie, perhaps it would be possible to replace the thermostat?  Faint hope I know but anything that keeps the cost down, it's just a question of finding a handy guy to do it.

Hi El, thanks. Yes , and no accidents, thank goodness! The play area was on 3 levels, a bit worrying watching them, but all ok! x 
Got the cake from same baker i have used for 3 or 4. It was lovely and fresh. 
Summer may be interested to know it was the same character as her avi 

An Olaf cake

Hi squiggle , thanks. Hope the family are well, and the little chap thriving x
Hi moonie, hope the fridge sorts itself out. 
I may not keep up well, giving the computer a full scan and its slows down my connection. Not ignoring you all ! xx

Skylark, I know a full scan can take ages. On my old computer it could take over 3 hours.

 

Yes with sparkles too! Got nice pics will have to get son sorted to send them! He always 2 weeks behind himself so dont wait! Haha x

I've had no internet since first thing this morning. Virgin had a problem in my area.

According to their automated message, it ought to have been fixed by 6pm but it took a call to the lovely Sahid at Virgin to sort it out. All is well again.

 

Off for a read back.

 

What a nuisance Yogi, I'm glad it's sorted now

 Thanks Squiggle, it was very frustrating.

Summer, you were lucky the ferret only nipped your shorts!

Moonie, shame about your fridge freezer, but if it's 20 years old, it has lasted well.

 

The forum is getting quieter and quieter.

 

Off to watch "Code of a killer", then to bed.

Goodnight and sweet dreams, everyone. Hugs for the night owls.

Early night for me tonight too...

Nite Nite, sleep well and have sweet dreams everyone  

*night owls* aaaaw an Olaf cake I'm glad all went well skylark, that's lovely

Moonie, that fridge must have been very strong to have lasted so long, it's the oldest I've ever heard of. Some of the new ones are quite reasonably priced these days, depending on your needs of course, but I know the basic ones are alright

Yogi I'm glad your power cut didn't last any longer, what a nuisance! Thank goodness you were able to get the Internet restored swiftly- I'd be breaking out in sweats without it lol

I can't believe how quickly Easter has come and gone!
I hope you're all sleeping soundly, sweet dreams

Good morning everyone

 

Another sunny day here

 

Yogi, I'm glad your internet connection got sorted out  Could be that the disruption meant that you needed to reset the superhub.

 I think that's what happened, El.

 

Good morning everyone.

 

Weather is quite cloudy atm. If it stays dry, I hope to get some gardening done.

 

Have a good day everyone.

 

 

 

 

Good morning everyone, a misty start with the promise of another lovely day.

 

It was such a beautifully clear night last night, the stars were amazing, I went from window to window, lovely!

 

Have a good day everyone, whatever you're up to

Good morning peeps   

Wall to wall sunshine already 

Might finish the front garden today but still feeling a little knackered after yesterdays exertions 

Have a good day everyone

Whilst I think it's very commendable and public spirited of people to collect their dog poo when out walking their dogs. I think it's just the opposite to then walk onto my property and deposit it in my refuse bin 

I hope it was properly bagged.

 

I got a form from Lloyds about them paying out dividends. I'm expecting to get a gigantic £2-64

I'm with Lloyds, where's my £2.64 prepares to picket LLoyds HQ

 

Bloomin cheek moonie, it's not so good when they bag it and then hang it in trees either

Squiggle, it's a form to complete if you want the dividend to be paid into your bank account rather than them sending you a cheque. You can opt for what they are calling DRIP where the dividend is used to buy more shares rather than getting the money. The dividend doesn't get paid until next month, The form arrived in the post this morning so you should get it very soon.

 

 What a cheek!

Moonie, my middle son amd DiL live in a flat and the wheelie bins are kept together. Some people were too lazy to put the stuff in the own bin/or their bin was full, and would put stuff in other people's bins. Son put a chain and padlock on his bin, and has done the same for two eldery neighbours, to stop the cheeky devils.

 Don't spend it all at once, El.

 

Yogi, the padlock idea sounds good to me 

Squiggle, that's a disgrace 

El, we having a party tonight then 

Re fridge/freezer...after a little coaxing, tampering, messing and not a little verbal abuse, it seems to have spluttered into life again 

Wonder how long it it will last though 

 

Fridge/freezer 1.... Aimee, Destroyer of Worlds and White Goods 0.

*knows this is tempting fate*  

Moonie, I think you need to start looking for a new fridge/freezer as you can't rely on yours surviving much longer.

Don't know what happened but a short while ago this forum went down. It seems to be back now. But I don't think it was just this site as other websites went down as well including the likes of twitter

 a  in the machine El  

It looks like Sweet is still having trouble with her mobile connection 

Looks as if Ebay may have been down as well.

I tried GaGa, Digitalspy and Amazon at the time you mentioned, and I couldn't access any of them, El.

Maybe she is just busy at work.

I don't know what happened but it was clearly widespread. I think it may have affected us in the UK with many sites (but not all as I was able to get on to the BBC site, Google, and Youtube. Besides this site and Ebay looking at some Google results it seems that some of the major games sites such as Steam and Battle.net were affected.

 

I only tried the three I mentioned, then gave up.

Afternoon Velvet. All is well here.

Managed to get some weeding done today, but couldn't cut the grass as the lawn mower appears to be deid! Mr Yogi (not known for his electrical skills!) says he'll have a look at it.

 That would have been a sight to behold!

Evening friends the lack of network coverage continues,  while I'm at work. It was a very busy too.

Bramble and I have just enjoyed a lovely walk, it's very spring like today

Uh oh yogi! Maybe the mower is still in hibernation mode
Moonie, I'm glad your fridge has perked up a bit I would do as El suggested though and be keeping an eye out for a new one

Squiggle, I love a twinkly nights sky, what a treasure have you seen those igloo pods you can sleep in, in Finland? They have glass roofs so you can see the sky as you lay in bed!

Evening Summer.

Do you have any idea when the EE problem will be sorted?

 

I think the lawnmower is off to lawnmower heaven.

 

I've never heard of igloo pods with glass rooves- I want one of those!

 

I got a message that I've nearly used up all of my free Icloud storage space, so I've spent ages trying to figure out how I can free up some space.

The thing which seems to be taking up most storage space is my photos, and as I upload them to my laptop, then put them onto a memory stick, it seems overkill to back them up in ICloud storage too. So why am I dithering about switching off the automatic backup for my photos?!
