    Morning all

    Was just settling down to make a couple of phone calls after posting on here of Toots return only to find I had nothing, no dial tone or any other tone. Had lost internet connection as well. Was all very bizarre, did all the usual testing of sockets and different handsets (once Dad had managed to find an old hard wired handset and bring it round) and still nothing. Dad reported it online when he got home and then this morning bingo it was working again :confused:

    our internet went off last night too we are with talk talk!

    re sky movies for free this weekend I think its only a couple of the movie channels that are free but not sure which
    the phone line thing wont make any difference we never have ours plugged in...because we are out of contract apparently they cant enforce it

    Hi
    I too had internet problems l;ast night ... don't know about the phone though!

    Friends fiance did ask about THE DRESS and a few times lol
    He said he had been told what colour it ISN'T - I said, well it won't be one of those colours then LOL and then I said ... don't forget about subtle colours like champagne and eau de nil and a few others he has clearly NEVER heard of...
    my lips are sealed!
    And I told her she is having a hen night, enlisted daughters connivance to provide me with contact details, told her we'll have it in July before schools break up (one of her jobs is in a school, she has two p/t ones) and she agreed (she wasn't keen on the idea last time I broached it) said she'd like to go out for a meal and I said good because I had already suggested that to another friend! Job done;)
    We will go here we think!

    :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    Not doing it outside then with a washing up bowl ;):rotfl::rotfl:

    Morning all

    Not sure where the day has gone so far, overslept as we had a bed hopper last night.

    I've been collecting dirty laundry
    stripped a bed
    putting clean laundry away
    emptied DW
    started tidying round, not that you'd notice mind.

    Off to shower and then plan in this order:

    Make hotdogs (corner shop first for rolls)
    visit lidl
    visit M&S
    garden HH if time
    put up decs
    supervise pumpkin carving
