    Morning everyone, there was a virus alert last night at work which affects McAfee Virus Scan, so if anyone uses McAfee on their home pc's it might be worth checking for updates.

    Dilli, yeah the classifieds thing at work is now split into:
    For Sale
    Freecycle
    Wanted
    Events, Activities & Sports Clubs
    Charity Appeals
    Recommendations and Advice
    Property/Housing/Holiday Accomodation
    Car Sharing

    Fort the main part it is used by internal staff up here in Newcastle (700 ish staff) but UK wide we have over 1000 staff with access to view it

    For sale/freecycle/wanted are the most used ones where people buy/sell like ebay and give like freecycle but without the fees and the item is collected in person. For us dribblers I'm happy to put whatever you want into any of the categories but I reckon the recommendations and advice section will probably be the best suited.
    Just pm me with what you want to to say and where you would like it and I'll put an ad on it.

    happy to help.
    Would like to: Retire at 54. 19yrs .Clear mortgage by 50. 16yrs. Clear Secured debts by 43. 8yrs.Clear Unsecured debt by 39. 4yrs. Gain full control of my finances by 36. 1yr.Keep my head above water. Today.

    Morning guys and gals. Hope everyone is well. I did a random giveaway on my facebook fan page this morning which is here and I think one of you ladies from here was picked. One of the Jo's if I'm right (sorry I don't know which one and I don't want to post surnames on here)

    Anyhow I have messaged you through facebook.

  • Dilli - you should be at home in bed, things only get worse if you try and do too much when poorly.

    Mabel - housework, there is plenty of time for that later! Ever heard the saying "make hay while the sun shines"? Translated, it measns, its sunny, sod everything else and get your butt out in the garden :D

    Morning Yukki - DDs penguin sampled Icecream day before yesterday, can now say sock pets are washable!

    Cagne - have nothing to list, but was wondering if you read my post last night on the CSA subject, am dealing with the same-ish sort of thing atm, but with OHs DS and our 2 DDs, so I do understand where you are coming from and hope you can sort out what feels right for you x

    Morning all,

    NLID – don’t worry about the logo, I can redesign that for you. Have you got any alternative brand names that you can use? Or maybe we can have a dribbler brainstorm!

    I have emailed you the new name.

    Thanks

    M&P - suprisingly I am better at work than I am at home. The other half scammed a half days sickie yesterday, he claimed that he was ill. So, out of my three 'luxury' days of - he contaminated 1 and a half of those with playstation, noise, and stalking ***eek***

    At least here, I can watch iplayer, watch any program of my choosing and relax with music. I tell you that would never happen at home, within the last hour of being away from home I have made the biggest comeback since Lazurus :)
