    Hello people. I haven't posted for ages because I too have been suffering from a bad cold. Honey Bear and FUAS you have my deepest sympathy.
    Since I last 'reported in' I have managed 4 more AF days so my total for November is now 9 please GG.
    I have some major catching up to do with this thread but I hope everyone is well. I don't post much but I do enjoy reading about you all.:A

    Glad I've managed to make some people laugh today :T. As our dear Lurks says, could only happen to me!

    As I wander along in my own little world, didn't realise about the ruling on the bank charges thing. Just peeked at the reclaiming board, then ran for it. My, some people are nasty aren't they? Seems to me no-one wants to take responsibility for their own actions these days. Harumph! Am glad you got yours back Jo before all this happened!:T

    Just been to McDonalds with Piglet - he's been a good boy this morning so thought I'd treat him. It was MANIC. Now I know why I normally avoid it....:eek:

    Totally off topic (like I care :rolleyes:), but...

    I want to buy a Freeview + box for my mum for crimbo, one that you can record on. Has anyone got one of these or know where the best place to buy one is and the prices?

    Yeah & we're normally such an on topic thread! :rolleyes: :D

    I've no idea, I'm afraid. I'm planning on buying a new tv & have been advised that Panasonic is the best to go for. Don't know if it applies for Freeview recording things though :confused:

    Hi Jo! I've got a Humax 9300T and I got it from John Lewis.
    You might find it cheaper elsewhere I guess but 2 year guarantee from JL. It was £169 and worth every penny, marvellous box o' tricks and tuned itself and started working as soon as I plugged it in.
    ...nothing to see here...
