    Hi all

    I have discovered a problem with the fridge - its not working:mad: Rang the landlord today and now I have to get up early and be dressed well before 8am so that I can see his workman Brian to get it sorted:rolleyes: Ventured to the corner shop earlier to stock up on milk (have enough for one drink and I am expecting a visitor today) and then spotted the chocolate so one large bar of dairy milk is in the fridge (it cost £1) and two chocolate oranges are under the tree as they were half price - I even got the limited edition volcanic one:eek:

    Managed to use my walking pole to scrape 2inches of snow off the roof of my car but there's no way I shall venture out in it..think that when I visit parents that I shall take the bus instead.

    Hope you're enjoying the snow:D

    Afternoon all.

    SS - I enjoyed the drama, it was light hearted but good.
    Horace you are really not having much luck with things at home - did the fridge get fixed?

    Hope everyone else is staying indoors as much as possible.

    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

    Hello all .... brrrrr!
