I have a random question for the Elite that have little kids please

Apart from Clarks where else do you get shoes for them?!
My DD is in need of new shoes, but the Clarks selection is really carp atm. She has wide feet that's why I prefer to get them from Clarks as they have the different width fittings, but is there anywhere else that does this also?

Many thanks, my DD will be most grateful she wasn't amused at not getting her shoes earlier I do sometimes wonder if she's mine, she's shoe daft whereas I'm just not :rotfl:

I have had the exact same problems with AOL for months. Ever since Talk Talk took over its been downhill all the way. Internet down every few mins. Takes 6weeks to load a page ect it's a nightmare. I've complained sooo many times, but it's useless. The routers they give you are rubbish and if you buy your own and there's a problem, all they say is sorry we don't support that router. So basically there's nothing they can do and you have to find/sort the problem out yourself :mad:

The first router they gave me worked with very few problems up until this June. It must have been around 4/5 years old so I suppoe it wasn't a bad record. I didn't know that AOL recommended turning it off every couple of months and it had been running more or less continually all those years apart from when I occasionally had to reset it. (I was too scared to turn it off EVER when I first had it as I wasn't sure if it would start up again without hassle!).

The new router I have now is much smaller and, according to the engineer who installed it, is more powerful than my old one. He got me to unplug my upstairs phone line - that made a considerable difference to my connection speed - and I now have a new slave phone upstairs which is not plugged in to the phone line separately. That phone does not seem to affect my speed. The old router was also right next to my normal house phone - the new one is further away so presumably interference has reduced, and its also a bit closer to my computer ie in same room as opposed to next room. The engineer also did away with some extra cables, connections and filters (sky etc) and, all in all, he seems to have done an excellent job. It remains to be seen what will happen in the future but, currently, I seem to have a MUCH better set up now. I was considering switching to BT fibre optic as I am well over 5000metres from the exchange but ats things stand I don't think I need to bother with a more expensive connection.

If you can get AOL to send a free engineer it could well make a big difference.

the same thing happened to me..tyre spring snapped but actually speared my tyre while going round a roundabout..luckily in a residential area so not fast...I had the RAC tow me home and my BIL is a mechanic so he fixed it at my house. Usually if its a big or expensive job he'll tell us and we pay him for parts and a 'tip' for labour...but he said this was cheap and easy to fix, so we gave him £20 for his troubles and he was happy!

My point is...if he was happy with this, then it obviously isnt an expensive or difficult job, so dont let the garage rip you off

Ta for this. It had actually had a spring replaced on that side 18 months ago at the dealershop garage so OH is hoping that it is still under gaurantee esp as I dont do much mileage now.

I think underneath I am worried that my car is coming to the end of its useful existance and is going to cost me money - its had 4 new tyres and a new steering pump since June this year so it has to keep going a bit longer. Nothing actually mechanically wrong but it is just over a hundred thousand miles now

The other thing is my insurance is under a hundred a year now so the running costs are very little and if it actually came to it I would rather spend £7, £8 or more or whatever on the kitchen and bathrooms rather than replacing my car.

Everyone I've talked to about my car over the last 2 days has a broken spring story - about them suddenly going in the worst of places. it says something about the state of our roads

what difference would switching to bt for fibre optic make, talktalk (aol) use bt phone lines.

Hiya,

Stuck at home, car failed mot yesterday because front tyres were fitted facing wrong way. Not happy as i had this done at a different garage afew months ago and had a refund for all the work they did to immobiliser as they did a bodge job.

So retest couldnt be done yesterday as garage 1 couldnt fit me in to swap tyres.

They are a bosch affiliated company so complained to bosch this morn re silly mistake, they were gob smacked. Said it was really dangerous in wet weather and i should have been given new tyres not just had them swapped. Waiting to hear back.

Tricia, just posted your goodies so should be with you in a few days x

Hi all anyone tried the wine today

i've just input mine fromlast nights shop at 8.20pm.....and the wine didnt compare with M...but did compare with T (3 for £12)....so overall only got back £4.71

its still comparing it at the full price...but against £12 at Ts the APG isnt as good, so imo, not worth it now

We have to switch ours off and on around 40 times a day, it's that bad. Otherwise we would have no connection at all. It really is a nightmare. I've been with AOL for 15 years and have had more problems since Talk Talk took over than we've had the whole 15 years. I keep threatening to switch to another but that means going without whilst it's switching. Obviously i can't live without the Internet
I'm really pleased yours seems to be better now and hopefully it will stay that way.

I did once request an engineer but was told if it wasn't at fault with the line then I would have to pay the call out charge, which was something like £100 so I didn't bother.
