    Hi Everyone :wave:

    I was getting V+ box fitted yesterday, and engineer said we had a weak signal and our cables are under our floor (was there when we bought house) he reckoned they would be corroded, so he had to drill from outside the house, lead cable through DD’s room into LR so you can imagine the mess in DD’s room, all sorts of stuff had to be pulled out. But I have now fixed my router and internet connection but a friend came for an unexpected visit last night so I never managed to get on.

    lav1979 Good luck with the scan
    GreenbeeMy lappie kept losing the wireless signal, it was my firewall that was blocking it after a windows update changed the settings
    Mumto5 Happy DD2’s birthday and I saw the Lovely Bones last (Orange) Wed and enjoyed it as well
    Valli Well done :T
