    Well sort of chilled out today but...Tiscali are the bain of my life!!!!...and still my problems may not be over yet!!!!...if you don't see me about for a couple of days you'll know that tommorrow they will have c...ked up again and lost my phone connection!!!
    They were meant to take my phone callls over from TALk TAlk on 31st july....Talk Talk switched me off but Tiscali didn't pick the calls up....somehow I was getting incoming calls but couldn't dial out(this went on until monday this week)..when my phone would miraculously dial out...but lo and behold I think its going back to Talk Talk tommorrow ...or them again...even their high level complaints team don't know whats happening....she still insisted today that I hadn't had phonecalls with them...yet lookedc and found that I had a call bill with them...we can't do anything until we find out where these calls end up tommorrow...they are driving me nuts...but if I cancel before I find where my phone calls are I won't know what to tell a new provider..so...will have to wait until they get everything right until I can make my mind up!!!

    Hi LA...I have a permanent headache with them(I'm not joking)..they are really stressing me out.I have a MAC code here that runs out on the 3rd Sept but daren't use it yet as I need to know where my phone calls are.Then I have the problem of who is a decent provider.The service in this country stinks!!!...I'd gladly pay more if somewhere had decent customer service but I've read the internet boards and everybody seems to have problems...I really don't know what to do for the best.I've been with Tiscali for 4 1/2 years!!!!
    I guess its a lot of hassle having a new e-mail address as I'm quite a technophobe as well....

    With another horrid day on the weather front, a relaxing chill out day ahead of the party tonight.

    hopefully you won't have any of the phone stress you had yesterday x

    Well I've had quite a good day today.It's been DHs day off so we went for a walk and ended up having a walk around the pleasure beach(I wanted to look if JJ was big enough to go on the rides on Beaver Creek)...he will be by next year...so will save tesco points for them.
    We had a lovely full english while we were out and a local ice cream place sold manchester tart(my favourite from schoool dinners)...so I had to bring a slice home ...it was yummy....not good for the waistline but who cares?
    Tonight we are going to a housewarming...a night out with no cost...just the way I like it...have a good evening all

    Morning all,
    Hope the weather is better in every other part of the country than it is here.It's pouring down again!!!!...I'll have to go out as I need to post my sick note(recorded delivery) as they are great at losing them.Apart from that it'll be a NSD...
    We had a great time last night as it's a while since I've been out...OH managed to but 4 bottles foster twist and 4 cans carling and a 1 1/2 litre bottle of lovely wine for just under £11 at the local tesco on the way down so I thought that was quite cheap.It was a white one from chile and was gorgeous!!!!
    Our host had loads of food on as well.So was a really cheap night .We walked there and DH paid for a cab back...So all very DFW....
