Why is my sig coming up and why can't we edit now?????   My grandson's phone has just broke its fully charged and everything, everything is just going wrong.

Hi Squiggle.

You can still edit - the button is hidden, up on the right-hand side where the little cog is.

Good morning

 

Good morning, Summer.

Lovely breakfast, thank you.

most welcome yogi  

 

seeing as i'm on the actual computer, I thought i'd have some photo fun

 

how are you this morning?

I'm good, thanks, how are you?

If you are on the computer, does that mean you have a day off work?

squiggle, yesterday's evening update to this forum means that eveyone's signature is now shown at the end of each post just as it used to be when this forum first started. Quite a few of us don't have signatures, but that may change now

Ooh, yummy breakfast - summer fruits from Summer

I hate car insurance websites.

I put in all my details and all my requirements and they came up with some quotes.

However, once I went into those quotes and checked the policy detail, I found that most of my requirements come under "add ons" and mean paying a lot more than the original quote.

I gave them all the requirements at the beginning, so why give a quote which doesn't include them?!!

Rant over.

I'm watching Margaret Rutherford (as Miss Marple) in "Murder, She Said" on Ch4+1.

It's just as well you checked on the policy details - it makes these comparison sites a bit useless if you have to then traipse through the fine print to see what the true cost is.

Did you know that Stringer Davis who appeared in all of the Margaret Rutherford "Miss Marple" films was her husband?

 

Exactly!

No, I didn't know that, El.

Late yesterday afternoon I got an email from my accountancy institute. Amongst the bits of news was a warning that the Inland Revenue have had delays in sending out some of the tax bills which a lot of people who complete tax returns have to pay by the end of this month. My institute advised us to get in touch with every one of our clients who might be affected to check if they had received their tax bill and if not to tell them what to do. If people don't pay their tax by 31 July they get charged interest. Not getting a bill from the Revenue would not be regarded by the Revenue as an acceptable excuse for not paying.

 

So I then had to go through every one of my clients to list those who did have tax to pay. I then contacted each one. Where there was no reply I left a message on their answerphone to ring me if they hadn't received their bill.

 

As you can imagine I wasn't too pleased about this as it is a waste of my time, and my telephone bill will be higher as a result.

 

I can report that of all the people I know who have tax to pay at the end of July, just one person had not received their bill.

 

ME

 

Rant over

 

What a pain, El.

I will have to leave more big hugs I can see that for Yogi and El Loro who have left rants today and have obviously had an extremely fraught time, I wonder if its something in the air as it has been that way all day for me, my grandson and his girlfriend (they are going to be apart for the first time since they started going out together).

 

Thanks for the yummy breakfast Summer, I don't want to think about the calories in that but it looks delicious.

Thanks for the hug, Squiggle.

After all my online searching and getting quotes, Mr Yogi has decided I might as well stay with my current insurer.

Aww your poor grandson and GF. Are they going to be apart for a while?

Thanks also for the hug, squiggle . I think it may be National Rant Day

 

I hope your car has been sorted out now, and your grandson's phone.

 

Yogi, what a palaver over your car insurance.

 

squiggle, there's a posting on the Social Strata help forum that they didn't intend to have signatures appearing on every post, just on the opening post on a thread, so they will put it back to how it was.

I don't know how long they will be apart Yogi, but not long I think.  This all comes about from the tragedy of young men not being able to get a job nowadays.  When his grandfather was his age he had been working for 4 years.

I really feel for young people who are out there looking for work, it is very hard for them atm.

Sorry I didn't reply earlier, Squiggle - Mr Yogi arrived home much earlier than expected and middle son and his fiancee popped in for a visit.

I'm really exhausted so I'm off to bed. Speak to you all tomorrow.

I hope you get a good night's sleep and feel refreshed in the morning.

Goodnight Squiggle.

night squiggle

Are you snaffling yogi

Noooooooooooo!

Goodnight everyone.

night yogi

Good morning everyone

 

squiggle, I hope you had a good night's sleep and feel refreshed

 

Seattle has now corrected the buglets re the signatures and the last reply.

Good morning everyone, quite a nice morning here.  I hope I can rest my knee today before I have to drive again tomorrow.  I went to National for my exhaust and I must say they do seem to give good value for money and a nice polite service. 

 

I think it was the battery with my grandson's phone.  Luckily he managed to find his phone for £10 in Argos, you just had to buy £10 worth of top-up at the same time, so he switched sim cards and he's in business again.  It was a very fraught day though.

 

Hope everyone has a good day today.

Good morning everyone. Weather is dry and mild atm.

Hope you got a good night's sleep, Squiggle.

Went into the greenhouse to water the plants this morning, and discovered one of the cucumber plants had died. It had more than a dozen cucumbers growing on it, and appeared to have snapped off from the main stem - very strange.

Could it have been the weight of the budding cucumbers do you think Yogi?

I don't think they were heavy enought to break the main stem, they were still quite small.

Afternoon all Oh my goodness it sounds like you all had a lot of tension yesterday I hope everyone is having a calmer day today Yogi, sorry I vanished suddenly y'day, I fully intended to reply from my phone but found myself running running late to meet a friend. We celebrated her birthday with a lunch out As for your car insurance, I have found comparison websites to be the same and simply went with direct line last year- my insurance is always due the week before Christmas, so trawling through sites is something I can't be chewed with.. I hope you are happy with the company you're with

Hi everyone x I see the site has changed again! Had my granddaughter so couldnt get on till now. Hope you are all well, will have to catch up 

Just read STV are to show the new Downton Abbey, in the Autumn. Great stuff  It must have been that email i sent them Thats a mystery about your cucumbers Yogi........ 
Hope you are feeling better today squiggle x

^^^^^ I ended up staying with my current insurer, who are Direct Line.

Well done, Skylark for bringing DA to Scotland

 

Yogi, I reckon it's squiggle's mole who sabotaged your cucumbers

 

squiggle, I hope your knee is getting better.
