Just had a quick sandwich as I was getting prepared for a rainy ASDA round this afternoon.
But they have just phoned to say they don't [STRIKE]want[/STRIKE] need me today :mad: :mad:, so it's back to the 'laptop' for me. :rolleyes:

Also, got another phone call to say that our 'new' chickens are ready. :T :T

Horace

Afternoon peeps (found on page 2). I have a visitor so getting to use my computer has been hell:rolleyes:

Audio not sorted on my laptop as yet Angel - I am waiting for the headset and mic that I ordered. Did have some wierdo contact me too via skype - I have no idea who she is so she has been ignored (I don't do wierdos):eek:

Numpty sometimes piggies have to have their tackle removed, it calms them down and stops them from fighting:D I think you would be grumpy too if someone put your bits n bobs between two bricks:eek:

Fab news on the new chickens Rog - Doris will be at the top of the pecking order then:D

Nargleblast

Rog - good news about the new chickens, some for Doris to boss about in her role as top chicken!

Numpty - re piggies, I have just one word to say - OUCH!
Horace - same subject - double ouch!

Up early today as central heating boiler fubared (F*d up beyond all recognition)
Needs new circuit board so wash in cold water today. That is the second thing after the leak under the kitchen sink, what can be the third I wonder?

I've been using Skype for three years - saves a small fortune on the phone bill - but I, too, have been plagued by these 'let's chat' messages, but only over the last couple of months. :mad: :mad:
I keep 'resetting' my security to allow only messages from my contacts, but it seems to make no difference.

Hi everybody.


Over the last few weeks we have had a number of "troll" attacks on the boards.

What is a Troll? A troll is a person that posts deliberately provocative, nasty or hurtful comments on threads. They may be a person with no previous connection to the board or someone that has created a pseudonym to get their point made.

If you should get a comment made on any thread you post asking for help and advice please realise this comment is not directed at you personally.
We really are all a lovely bunch here (oops, modest, sorry) so please ignore these nasty comments and continue to post here as normal.

what should i do if i get a comment made on my thread?

firstly do not respond to the comment as this invariably is what the person wants. At the bottom of the post, on the left hand side is a red "warning" triangle. Click this and then "send" the message that comes up. This will report the message to abuse who will review it's content and delete it.

The person we had this morning was particularly vile and nasty and please believe me is an extreme rarity here.
Above all PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE THE BOARDS. THIS SITE IS AN ASSET TO SO MANY, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT FEELS THE WORLD IS FALLING IN ON YOU. THERE IS SUCH A WEALTH OF ADVICE HERE TO BE HAD THAT THE COMMENTS OF ONE MUST NOT DETER YOU FROM AVAILING YOURSELF OF THE KNOWLEDGE HERE!!!!

It is testament to the work that martin has done and continues to do that so many people give their time knowledge and experience freely to others, without judgement, to lift people out of the depths of debt crisis

PLEASE DO NOT LET THE ACTIONS OF THE MINORITY RUIN THAT.


Kind wishes
P

Another bump, another page, another reminder
