And another bump.....

Numpty_Monkey

Have you been playing in the snow NB

Nargleblast

No, I only ventured out to let the chickens out and shut them in again. And to put the bin out for tomorrow - waste of time, though because we have heard that all bin and recycling collections are suspended until further notice......booger!
Both chickens and cat behaving like complete and utter tarts at present, though I should admit they have never seen snow before.

Hope you're all warm and safe on this freezing cold night...

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

Good morning all

Lula-Hula

Morning all,

stuck at home again today, I am quite capable of getting to work but stupid schools are shut again :rolleyes:

I dont remember having days off because the school was shut due to bad weather

Back in the day, we were a lot more hardy & resourceful.

Numpty_Monkey

The only time I can remember my school closing (apart from heating breaking down)
was once in 85, it took me about 3 hours to walk home:eek:
