Hi Everyone
Been missing all the deals thanks to BT
Was offered a great deal on Infinity - just £13 a month. Have really wanted it 'cos quite often when we watch catch up TV it buffers so badly we have to stop watching.
Anyway was told broadband would be down just for half an hour on Friday while it was switched over. We actually lost our broadband connection on Wednesday evening till Friday afternoon(apart from short restoration on Thursday). And at one point had no phone either.
I so hate talking to their CS abroad. Particularly the women are soooo difficult to understand.
Anyway back up and running although our phone only works in the loft at the moment which isn't very useful!!
Waiting for a call this morning to sort out some compensation.
Did manage to read about the Pop. Had no idea what I was doing but copied someone's shop and managed to get 4 bottles, so thank to OP's :beer:
Would have liked to have done an APG with Quality Street tubs but I guess its too late now?0 -

Tried those Elizabeth Shaw chocs every day and never won. Anyone else have better luck?
----
Finally reached the terminus in candy crush. It was a long haul to catch up after a particular bad level 1180.
Never won silvercar but I keep trying.
I am on level 1202 think these latest levels are hard I keep getting stuck 0 -
this is a good website to bookmark to check on Mondays and Tuesdays.
http://www.accorhotels.com/gb/united-kingdom/index.shtml
register, log in and go to the Find hotels tab.
at the bottom of this page is a promo box and in it put
MONDAY.
you can then search for hotels for the following weekend with special rates - Friday, Saturday and Sunday - Ibis £25, mercure and Novohotels £40 - a bit more expensive for London.
so the cities I always check - Saturdays are always rare and the good ones go quick
Stratford on Avon Mercure £40 Friday and Sunday
York - Friday and Sunday but not saturday
Ibis £25 city centre
Mercure £40 - on the ring road outside next to the park and ride
Edinburgh Quay Mecure - £40 for Friday, Saturday and Sunday
Edinburgh Ibis south bridge £25
Glasgow - Mercure and Nohotel for £40
Liverpool - Ibis Albert dock for Saturday night £25! Novohotel £40
Chester - both mercure for Saturday night £40
London - I try Greenwich which gives you some of the city centre ones, loads of Novohotel and Mercure for £40 -
OK, it takes a bit of organising to get child, cat, dog and house sitters so short notice but its good to be spontaneous sometimes
With the builder being here for the last 3 weekends and visitors this weekend I have extremely itchy feet - not been anywhere all month apart from one evening in Chester but hopefully someone can find a nice weekend room “Create all the happiness you are able to create; remove all the misery you are able to remove. Every day will allow you, --will invite you to add something to the pleasure of others, --or to diminish something of their pains.”0 -

Even the dog values his gnashers too much to have tried it.
The rest was ok though.
Partial success is better than dinner in the dog and a Wetherspoons bill! I'm calling it progress
Well done :T:T:T And that is how pork crackling is supposed to beBusylizzie wrote: »Hi Everyone

Is your incoming point in the loft? IF this is the case then sounds like an internal cable problem. Did you have BT out to it or did they do it by remote?What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare0 -
