SSS *groan* and how do I do the snowball then?

(I am SO going to regret this... I will have no sleep and nightmares for weeks...).

You won't, you'll say, "blimey, if I do this right I'll get it cleared" (I hope, knowing nothing of your financial circumstances! )

Have a play, If you want to do it accurately, you'll need up to date statements, APRs and lastly, what % of the balance your minimum payment is. If, however, you just want to do a roughtimate, you can put in your approximate figures to see.

Let me know how you get on!

reminds me of when i was a kid there was this family called Lucas that regulary turned up without announcment always at the most innconveniant times...And any way this cat also turned up and adopted us and within a week gave us 8 kittens...(it also gave us 6 more later ut thats cause we are all forgetfull) anayway the cat got called clause (ang: of lucas)due to its annoying turnuing up habit...

I think the naming was down to my Grandfather, a Scot with a very dry sense of humour. He used to bring a lad home from camp to Sunday lunch every week (he was ex RAF, but worked at Padgate camp as a civvy) that they all called 23:59 (so dark it was nearly midnight) and they had 2 cats called Suna and ..............Lata! Seriously! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

ETA - Hope no one's offended. It was back in the early 50's and things were a little different then.

Valli, Collywobbles (yes he is a Colin) is 6'3" and even I don't call him that anymore:D

Have been without the internet for a few hours so have skimmed through to catch up - bought a new wireless printer and OH thought he had fried the router trying to instal it, but having tried the time honoured repair method (turn off - turn on) it came back.

Off to bed so see you all tomorrow.

Take from an IT expert - 2nd rule of IT, that.

Rule 1 - is it plugged in and switched on?
Rule 2 - Switch it off and back on...
Rule 3 - NOW you can panic

nb Do NOT use percussive maintainance methods on delicate IT equipment...
