Thank you all for your kind words, the thread is truly a wonderful place. You've had me sobbing even more (in a good way though) and smiling through the tears, so thank you all :A

I'm going to go and snuggle up in bed with my book and forget today happened!
Thank you all, if I only I could have you all at my side when I'm about to light up! or when that evil woman is around!

Oh and I'd like to post this for the jukebox if I may...

Well I've failed, I've gone and used a pathetic smoker's excuse and lit up that first cigarette. Pathetic :mad:
I went to my Grandad's house with my mum tonight, then my aunty turned up - mouthing off too my mum until my mum went out into the garden to get away from her. She then started on me...all I said politely was for her to not throw things away, and she just starts ranting and raving saying she can do what she likes, screaming at me, calling me a !!!!ing liar, saying things about my mum... now all that I can take...
then she goes on to how she did everything for my grandad and we did nothing, and how my Grandad even said it himself that we were nothing and she did it all - I lost it, I told her she was disgusting and how dare she stoop so low to say such things.

I could of slapped her, I was shaking so much, I walked out, went to the shop and bought some fags, it tasted gross, made me feel !!!!! but I still smoked it.
Mum and I were meant to be going out for dinner after but just didn't feel like it.

And on the way home I just totally broke down, all the way down the mway all I could see was a huge bright rainbow, practically all the way home, some may know the relevance of that to me and my Grandad. :A

So I've failed, I'm once again a smoker. I could scream.
Anyway, I'm sorry all I ever do is moan on here, feel free to ignore me!
Hope you are all ok

First things first, you have not failed. The circumstances that you are facing are so stressful and heartbreaking at the moment that you have done brilliantly not having a setback already. Giving up smoking is hard at the best of times but your get back on track. Don't give yourself such a hard time. Sending you hugs, :A

Just looked at a couple of the cheapest ones in argos and all have scart sockets.
Can I ask for a couple of the makes and models your looking at so I can have a looky myself
ta

This is the one we were looking at earlier.

Were a bit fussy, we want backlit LED, and minimum 40 inches, 100hz minimum too and obviously as cheap as possible! :D :rotfl::rotfl:

(See I have done some research!! )

Does anyone know who was the person that found the glitch from the womble? I really dont want to look back over 40000 posts. if not more.

Its more to do with the stashing then the glitch itself etc.

well if you re tweet their tweets and re-quote headlines from different newspapers back at them i am not surprised :rotfl: you should hear from this is money too fairly soon i would say

We've been looking into getting a new one and after some research I've found that most of the new flat screen ones don't come with scart sockets. (Or at least the ones we've been looking at don't anyway).

So more trawling through the net suggest that we may require an upscaler? Problem is, we have a sky box and a home cinema thingy that only have scart connections.

Here's my (probably stupid) question, do I need an upscaler thingamebob for each device or can I buy one and a mutli port scart doodah wotsit, plug both scarts into the multi scart doodah wotsit and that into the upscaler?! Are you with me? Or am I talking total cobblers?! :D:D :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Are you sure ? I cant climb over behind the Tv but pretty sure our Samsung Smart has scart sockets Not suggesting you buy from John Lewis but go there or somewhere similar where you can take a good look behind them also pick the brains of as many sales assistants as you can.

I need a bit of techie help! If someone can help I'd be eternally grateful!

Our TV has been on the blink for a while and is getting worse. (It's a very old, heavy crt one, I keep nearly breaking my hand from beating it up to get a picture! ) We've been looking into getting a new one and after some research I've found that most of the new flat screen ones don't come with scart sockets.

If it comes with only one scart try something like this

Although I've found them a bit rubbish when we had one in the past:(
Otherwise your looking at something like this I guess

:eek::eek:
Bit pricey

Have you had a look at Samsung TVs? Ours is only just over a year old and it has Scart, sure the new ones have too.

I've looked at loads of makes. We're fussy though! (not with the make but the specs and price. I though the one I found on amazon, (link in my previous post) seemed like a good price. But no scart sockets!! :mad: :rotfl:
