Realised i hadn't posted in the inn properly for a while.
SO Hi everyone, hope you are all well,
Hugs to anyone who is not. and hope you feel better asap.
Was in dundee on monday, to see orthodontist, and looks like work will
start on my teeth in feb.although not looking forward to getting teeth ripped out. :eek:but the sooner they are sorted they better.
had accident in LUSHalways wanted to spend loads in there, but
never would as it's not a good plan, but as i could get a £20 grab bag if spend £20, so now have a pile of Lush goodies.:j
finally found salt in a shop. aldi, dishwasher salt 69p. it's just pure salt, so will buy more tomorrow to do our road, so i can get to hay and horse without ice skating:eek:
don't know where this week has gone. have missed being in here
xTHANKS to everyone who posts competitions. you are all :A.0 -
Can u not get a dongle or a diff broadband? im with sky and as i have sky talk my broadband if £5 a month xxx
I will eventually be able to go with a different ISP the only problem is that because the telephone and broadband was on SLY's own LLU network they will probably delay the MAC code for as long as possible and without it I cannot get another broadband provider
incidentally the word SLY isn't a Freudian slip it is now what I prefer to call them :rolleyes:
I have made a complaint to SLY's Head Office and posted on the SLY users forum for more info see

I'm sure theres a time limit that they have to provide a MAC for??? I thought the exchanges were all BT, and were being unbundled so everyone had access. Theres a site where you can check who has control of your telephone exchange, I'll try and find it.
My AOL costs £9.99, for up to 20mbs, I can only get up to 8 atm, but BT are due to unbundle our exchange this spring. I also have an orange contract dongle, again £9.99 a month for hols, but even with comping and lots of hols, I use a lot less than 1gb a month so will be shopping around for that summertime.My light may be on, but that doesn't always mean I am looking at the PC - I am far more likely to be cuddling or feeding Tianna atm, so please don't think I am ignoring you if I don't reply quickly

I think that once an account has been canceled or scheduled to be deactivated a MAC code cannot be generated and so you have to start again from scratch which takes a while longer
thinking about what SLY said they did inform me about the MAC code and said that they could provide the MAC code within 2 days but I would not be able to cancel my SLY account until after the MAC code had been provided
I was in so much of a dither after being on the phone for 15 minutes with the retentions department (which is a bit like being interrogated by the gestapo and being given the third degree) that I said don't bother just cancel it now! :mad:
I will probably end up going with Plusnet at £5.99 per month as they also have a no contract option available I just hope that it is better than there dial up connection which I had many moons ago as the service was diabolical

Good Luck Amilucky, earlier this year i was changing from one provided to another, ended up offline for 11 days because they messed up etc. was a nightmare. hope you have more luck.THANKS to everyone who posts competitions. you are all :A.0

I get you now, so you'll be virtually like a brand new to broadband customer. But your line will already be enabled because of Sky I would imagine, so you won't need to wait for the engineer to alter that.
As you'll be a free customer, I'd have a look at the broadband cashback options on Quidco as well. It can sometimes work out that you can get bb for free virtually when you take the cashback into account.My light may be on, but that doesn't always mean I am looking at the PC - I am far more likely to be cuddling or feeding Tianna atm, so please don't think I am ignoring you if I don't reply quickly
