    Ive only had about 3 or 4 in the past 3 years (not sure if that's more than average though?) and all have been nasty towards me, but this one is weird:confused: ...and is completely random by a new MSE'r.

    Thanks for your time Penny!

    I've had a spammer PM from a new member quite a while ago. Just delete it, they don't come back.:D Oh unless the BG's think abuse will want to know to PPR the member?
    You never get a second chance to make a first impression.

    Thanks Hun. I have reported it anyway. I think it would have been sent to quite a few people. Just such a nuisance, but at least its not a nasty one this time.

    Interesting.... I was looking at the Milton Keynes thread ("for who & where you are" section) and saw what looked like a Spam post from a new MSE-er. Wonder if its the same one?

    is it rude of me to ask how much all that costs?
    I should have said. Sorry. It was £23.50 for the fruit and veg, £1.87 for 2l milk and £3.80 for 2 dozen eggs. The eggs and milk are expensive compared to non organic, but it gives me longer away from the supermarket, which is where I tend to overspend.
    May all your dots fall silently to the ground.

    Sistercas - a PM is a private message which is just between the sender and the person they send it to. It does not go on to a page like this, that's open to all. At the top of the page we're on now, on the right hand side, you'll see 'Private messages', click on that and, on the page that comes up, look down the left hand side to where it says 'send a message' or something like that (I can't quite remember!). It's very handy if you need to talk to someone about something that's complete off-topic or to send a special individual message to someone who is ill or has mentioned a problem that you may have some experience of. Once you send a message, the recipient will know because their 'private messages' will highlight the number of messages in bold. They can then click onto your message and read it. You'll soon get the hang of it! I'll send you one now!

    I've just sent you a pm with some more info about using the 'private messages'!


    Gingham - I think what you paid for all that is brilliant! I'll have to suss that company out and give them a go!

    :hello:
    Afternoon everybody,I am a bit late today, been sooo busy;)

    (((((((((HUGS)))))))))to Beth, Candy and fizzel and anyone else who feels the need.
    Welcome to you Melli we are a friendly bunch in here:T

    meanmarie well done to your DD, is`nt it odd....the driving test is the one test they want to take.....:rotfl:
    As regards.. on.. off.. lights and anything else electric.. I think they must all be the same, they just leave them on and then moan about the bill:rolleyes:

    mioliere and mrs moneypenny we capped with E.on yesterday, who were our supplier anyway, it will cost us an extra £10, OH had worked it out and is quite happy with it, we also get Tesco points 300 immediately and some every month, which we did`nt get before, mmm, wonder why we didnt :confused:
    Penny-Pincher Well done on the AA renewal, what a bargain:T Hope you find it easier with your new machine. I am off to Amazon when I`ve finished here to take a look at the tent thing you got,I reckon it might be ok for our DGD`s when they are playing outside, too much sun is not good for them.

    Well I was full of good intentions when I got up but everything has gone to pot since then;) never mind, at least the courtesy car arrived for OH, and they said he probably would get 2 car key`s this time, so thats good he went off to DS2`s workshop quite happily.
    Right thought I, get cracking,WM on,DW emptied,Vac ready,Duster and oil ready for furniture,all chairs upended onto kitchen table ready for a clean sweep through....then phone rang, a friend wanted a chat.....almost an hour later, I tried again, managed to get the washing out, under my cover out the back....doorbell rang another friend with her DGS, ah he is a lovely little chap, on went cbeebies, then it was a play in the garden, a few grapes and a fruit shoot.....2hrs later, I tried again and could`nt be bothered, so I though S*D it, put everything back where it came from, turned this on, got my self a big bowl of fruit and I`ve been here ever since havent even thought about dinner yet:eek:

    Ah well off to Amazon now, back later
