Hello to all my fellow "bumpers", hope work/new shoes/printer are all behaving themselves and you are all OK.

I know, ss - we are indeed a sad bunch :rolleyes: - especially me for getting worked up over a pair of "safety shoe" - hardly in the league of Imelda Marcos. :rotfl: :rotfl:

Still - can't be all bad - no "trundling" tonight. :T :T

Horace

Afternoon all - sorry not been around have had a sh1tty day which started last night. Eventually got the telly back at around 7pm:j was watching the news at 22.10 when all of a sudden the power went, managed to feel my way to the bedroom where I keep my wind up torch (the best £3 I have ever spent). checked the fusebox..it was ok..no power in the flats at all..no power this morning and managed to contact the peeps who look after the electricity in Birmingham..there was an underground cabling fault eventually the power came back on at 13.10 which coincided with my decision to get out of bed (well, I was nice and warm and didnt want to be cold). Decided to put some washing on and thought that the washing must have been done so went to put it onto spin..little red warning light had appeared saying call for service so I pressed the start button again to start it off..so the machine has filled with water, was making an horrendous noise accompanied by a burning oil smell so now my washing is stuck in the machine and I have had to call out the washing machine man:rolleyes:

Tea time bump

solventsoon

Hello again,
Rog - it's suprising how important a pair of shoes becomes when the ones you have leak in the winter, that's not funny:mad:. Really glad you've got them sorted now anyway.
Horace - what a nightmare couple of days you've had, hope you get sorted soon.
PPP - hope your house fund is going OK.

Off now to get something to eat and glass (or possibly two) of wine - well, it's Friday! Back later.

House fund is coming along nicely Solvent - recent ebayings have added another brick to it and free listings this weekend might add another one

"Grand Designs" here I come! :rotfl:

In the meantime, tea was very nice too. Curry, possibly the best I've ever made, followed by cake, which could have done with a touch more sugar, but that would have involved opening a new packet. Still, even bad cake is good

Happy Friday everyone (except trolls)!

Tixy

Princess you are right any cake is indeed good cake! I have been sat watching tv and eating popcorn tonight (bought popcorn not proper stuff popped in my machine but any popcorn is good popcorn)

(well except one make I found once which has fish oils in it :eek::eek::eek:- fish in popcorn I ask you what is the world coming too).

BUMP

Lula-Hula

Hey eveyone, oh Horace, sorry to hear your tales of woe hope ots not too costly to repair ... I just renewed my cover today. Yay for new shoes Rog

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

Hello fellow bumpers,
PPP - house fund sounds promising, hopefully ebay yields another brick this weekend :j. Curry and cake sounds good, yum yum :j
Tixy - I love popcorn too but fish oil and popcorn sounds a strange (and, frankly, not very nice) mix
Lula - well done on the new cover, hope it wasn't too expensive, I've got mine to renew next week
Angie - hope you have a good weekend too.

Hello :santa2: to any newbies out there and welcome. Please read the message above and watch out for the trolls.
