Glad you managed to pop in, El Loro.
Signing out, speak to you all tomorrow.
Morning everyone, its a nice morning here now after all the rain. Hope you are all well.
Good morning to you as well. 
I still have some broadband connection at present, but until the changeover, it's so unreliable that I can't assume that I can start something on the internet and be able to complete it. And as I suspected, I never received a call back from Orange about sending an engineer.
See you later maybe.

Good morning everyone.
Squiggle, I know where your rain has gone - it's up here.
Good morning. El Loro

Morning all. Sun is shining here at the moment but I don't know how long it will last!!
Hope your broadband connection stays live for a while El Loro. I've had lots of problems over the past few days too. I'm due to request my MAC code today in preparation for change of provider. I hope it all goes smoothly once I start the ball rolling. If I should be missing for a while you will know something has happened.

Morning xxxx Been pouring down all morning, off work this week so quite glad really i can get stuff done in the house 
Skylark I wonder just how much work you are managing to achieve with a wee 2 year old no doubt following you everywhere! I am very very jealous and would just love a 2 year old to have fun with today. Give her a hug from me
Evening all. We are back on page 2 again!!!
Might not be back again tonight so I thought I would give the thread a little bump!!!

Joyron, I hope your broadband gets sorted quickly as well. Over the past day I have had a connection, but I'm not posting much as I don't want to find that I've started a posting or email or download, then find I can't finish it.
I've now cancelled my contract with Orange - I had to wait until today as my phone number won't get transferred until the 20th, so I needed the Orange phone line until the 21st, else I would be without any phone.
Orange being Orange have now told me that as my BT line will be cancelled (as I will be on cable) that a BT engineer will come out to remove the BT phone sockets and that as BT charge Orange, I will be charged for this. I made it clear that in view of the fact that it was Orange's attitude that made me cancel my contract that it was not reasonable to charge me, but they will not listen.
This has come as no surprise to me and confirms what I have thought for a long time - that Orange seem to be only interested in getting your money rather than in providing a service.
And guess what, I get a certain amount of satisfaction in telling everyone I know of my experiences with Orange.

Evening E Loro. It's a pity we are at the mercy of these sharks all the time. I've requested my MAC code and will be changing over as soon as it comes through. My current ISP tells me they will cut me off as soon as I hand over the MAC code, my new broadband provider says they should not do that. I've paid this months money in advance so I don't see how my current ISP can take the service away without giving me a refund of the monies of paid in advance - but I'm sure they won't.
Excuse I,
Squiggle I'm currently watching Come Dine with me with Super and Baz and the person doing the meal Ryan had some boxing gloves which said "To Ryan love Squiggle"
what have you been up to? 
spill the beans we want to know why the boxing gloves

I can reveal that my late mother had a glove puppet in the form of a squirrel which she called Squiggle. Squiggle was notorious for getting up to all sorts of antics, and was known for consuming rum by the barrel. Although not known for having an interest in boxing, Come Dine with Me, or Ryan, I would not be surprised if my Squiggle which I inherited was behind these boxing gloves. I will have to check my credit card statements to see if there is any sign of such a purchase. My Squiggle has no connection with our Squiggle here.
On the other hand, could this be related to Eastenders where Ryan is just about to marry Janine, but Libby Fox who recently left was also known as Squiggle? Is there some soap scandal about to break?

Oooh er! Peeps taking my name in vain, ducks behind sofa and hides 
I know nothing about cavemen, and I am an extremely peaceful person (except for today when I had a few words to say to an extremely arrogant BMW driver who thought I should immediately get out of his way when he beeped and waved his arm
I was not even moving I was parked up!!!) I am days and days behind with Come Dine With Me (still getting over Anna last week ) so I shall have to watch very carefully

Hi squiggle, i will! I wasnt supposed to have her today but it was either that or my daughter not getting to work. No i didnt get anything done, we played every game under the sun!! She loves cats, so i had to draw them, then we had to watch Garfield AGAIN . Phew love her, but love when i hear mum coming in
Re Come Dine With Me......a strange lot arent they...like rejects from the BB auditions! That girl yesterday doing the animal impressions...oh how cringy 
By the way El loro if you are on can you explain to me how to put a picture in my profile, that only buddies can see? I would like squiggle to see my granddaughter. I am not comp literate so be gentle with me! Thanks xxx
Signing out for the night. If El Loro is able to assist Skylark with her request I would like to know how to do it too, if indeed it is possible. Then perhaps when I get back from my cruise I might be able to put up a picture or two of our suite etc!!!
Will speak to your all again in the morning. Sleep tight.

That would be nice Joyron, nite xxx
I'm off to bed too now, shattered, speak again tomorrow yawn 
Hello Baz.
And now for Skylark and Joyron's pleas for help. There are two ways which you can post pictures so that only buddies can see them, but I don't think you can do it by changing the portrait on your profile.
First way. Create a dialog (via Your Dialogs from the Livecloud logo at the top). The procedure is very similar to posting a reply on the forum. The difference is that you need to choose which forum members you want to send the dialog to (as few or as many as you want. You will see when you choose Add Participants that you can either select from your Buddies or from everybody. Click once on the person's portrait to select, If you click again, then that deselcts. If you look above the portraits at the top you will see the number of members you have selected, but it is only when you click Continye with dialog creation that you will see the names of those you have selected listed at the left under Dialog participants. By the way you cannot just have yourself as the only participant.
Use the Insert image icon (the tree on to the left of the smiley one). But the image has to be on a website, not just on your pc. You will need to put your photos on a site such as Photobucket first. It may seem a hassle, but doing it this way means that you can post decent sized photos rather than the little avatar ones.
It is advisable to post a message on this thread saying that you have sent a dialog (or PM meaning orivate message but it's the same thing) to whoever so that they know. It may be that their profile will be set so that they will get an email saying that they have received a PM, but this is not certain.
Second way. Create your own blog via Your Site from the Livecloud logo, However this is more appropriate for experienced forum members, so as the Your Dialogs method is simpler and is more than adequate for your needs.

Morning everyone, wow EL still on page 1 eh? Thanks for bumping us anyway 
we had loads and loads of rain yesterday, all at the most inconvenient times Baz I could not believe that group of people on CDWM last week I am still in shock, and I am even further behind on Coach Trip, I believe I have only watched one. Still all the more to look forward to, have the young ones formed a voting clique yet? Its only a matter of time.

Hello everyoneI've been out all day, so this is my first chance to sign in.

Evening all. Just managed to get in for a quick post. See not much has been going on here all day!!!
Won't be able to post pictures as outlined by El Loro as I don't have any way of getting my pics onto the web, and wouldn't know how to go about it in the first place!!
No. 1 son is coming this evening to sort out the change over of ISP. Don't suppose anything will happen for a few days but if I go missing you will know where I am.

Joyron can I just suggest that you Google Photobucket? It is completely free to open an account and ridiculously easy to upload a picture from your computer. You just press the upload button and show it where to find your pictures and hey presto. Once they are on your Photobucket account you just 'share' and there you go. About 18 months ago I was just like you and didn't have a clue and now I am posting all sorts of lovely pictures. They have great ones for you to use or just upload any you want to. Its quite private, no-one but you gets to look at them unless you share them.
Hi all..........a good idea squiggle think i will try photobucket
Looks forward to piccie posted by Skylark, it doesn't have to be personal, find a photo you like or a smiley and share, its fun.
You may have to wait a long time squiggle!! I am hopeless
I am off, son wants comp...chat tomoro xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Looks like I've missed everyone, see you tomorrow.
Off to my bed now, speak tomorrow, Skylark hope you succeed, Yogi perhaps we will 'coincide' tomorrow
