Urge, I fell again. Not in muck, but while helping the plumber who was roddding our pipes. The mere association is enough to be disagreeable. He offered to help me up, but I declined. I have sprained my left hand and it's bruising, and my feet are swelling in protest at the jolt, and my left hip is feeling tender. On the plus pretty sure my back, which was several types of hell yesterday, feels better for the bump. .

Oh dear. Rest up. Should you be helping plumbers?

Chilling. My DKs are just starting to get big enough that I need to serriously look in to safe browsing and activity logging.

Anyone any suggestions?

Yes, never bring them to gatherings of people you met on the Internet with out sissinghurst out the people first

I was really worried when i first met Lydia because I was worried she might feel vulnerable because of her kids, or that we might all be setting her kids a bad example and that she was very trusting ....

I wasn't in the least worried for me/us though. Just her. She pointed out if I was worried I I knew I don't bite then it was probably ok. (I don't bite children anyway ) and it was. They survived! Hurrah!

Its intersting to see. I also feel I have to look when the septic tank is emptied, We had a blockage created by veg soup. I last made veg soup before Christmas. :eek:


I also categorically feel you should not ask some one to do for you something you would not be prepared to. If I cannot help by tipping buckets and providing amusing clown type falling, then why should he stick his arms up the sewage pipes?

For lir's info...

I decided to get a Wi-Fi repeater as my DD was losing signal in here bedroom which is furthest from the router.

It arrived today and works well. You just plug it in a mains socket in your low signal area and pair your wireless devices to it. The signal was around 50% strength in her bedroom and is now 100%

This is the one I went with after reading reviews...

Wi-Fi Repeater

I notice on the reviews where someone has a 3 story old house and he uses 2 of them (daisy chain) to cover the whole house.

I just followed the simple instructions of the most helpful review.

Does this make us wallflowers?

I'm doubting myself today, that probably reflects in my score

I am no shrinking violet.

In my salad days I may have ben more inclined to 'hold the floor' in my working life, but as a mum and wife I definitely put my needs at the bottom of the pile for too long.

In my working life now I am good at letting my team show what they can do, I definitely do not nick their successes and am happy to take a step back..

So all in all have swapped stuff around as I have learned - a bit less "me,me,me,me,me" at work and a bit more me at home.

It does help, thank you. I will do this on your recommendation. Hopefully this weekend.

Yeah, me too.I really can't understand it, I thought I was a pretty modest sort of bloke

I wonder how many Hamish would score? He seems to have gone berserk on the Forum today, he's even started two threads which seem to be the same subject - big shrug.

I'm really getting pee'd off with the Debate Forum :mad:it's only you NP keeping me here!

LIr - if you don't mind me saying so this is bonkers.

Why should you look when they empty the septic tank!!!! I am never tempted by our cesspit. It gets emptied, to put it politely, it smells which I try to avoid by closing windows, staying in/being out. The tanker takes it away and I pay them £180.

If Mr S rods drains it is up to him but there is no need for me to go anywhere near it.

If I pay a plumber to fix stuff then I am paying someone who has chosen to earn their living from working with other peoples drainage and loos . I give them money, they use their skills and experience and I keep out of their way.

This is normal in my experience:A
