    Good morning all - lovely bright sunshine here at the moment - very busy with work at the moment but there is light at the end of the tunnel and I should get more free time towards the end of this week so alas I haven't been able to keep up with all posts - if I have missed any birthdays I offer belated birthday greetings and hope you are all well

    Anyone else received a letter from virgin saying the price is going up £4 odd per month next year (thats Richard Bransons mob before you comment ;))
    Shocking thats about 7-8%

    Well going to have to look into it as its £50+ a month.
    The landline is just a nuisance anyway as we all have mobiles and anyone that rings the landline is trying to sell us something:(.
    When you change what happens to your email address is that taken away, I did read somewhere online as long as you access it every so many days it is ok .
    But that is one of the reasons I would stay dont want to lose email address/try and remember every site etc that it is on

    We have also had the letter and I am not sure what we are going to do as yet - hubsters pooter is connected direct and he has super fast speed but DD and I are wifi and we don't get as good speeds so I am always complaining to him! The reason we have been reluctant to leave in the past is because of the emails - my understanding is that they have no obligation to support that email and it could easily go - I now have gmail addy and try to put anything new via that addy as I am sure we will leave them one day. Hubster has rang them in the past and got better deals when they have offered better deals to new customers and nothing for loyal customers so I think he is going to try and see if we can get anything better this time round. We will all have to compare notes if anyone gets a better deal offered

    Alas I am working today so I had better get a move on - catch you all later - have a great day :)

    Does anyone have a Bosch Tassimo drinks maker ?

    Thinking about getting this model

    Edit: Cancel that, they don't have any stock anywhere near me and out of stock for delivery :(

    Edit2: Currys have them :)

    Both my son and daughter have these, my son has got his at uni and my daughter has her's at home, they both love them and especially now they do the costa at home, we get the pods from various places sometimes on the tassimo site, ebay and then tesco and asda, sometimes in tesco they put certain ones half price.

    quick question if I may?

    I got the PS VITA for bf(I know! He's one lucky so and so! :P ) now I was wondering if the memory card for it HAS TO be the one that has PS VITA written all over it or would a sony micro SDHC card fit in as well? (it would be great if so as they're half price in S)

    please and thank you :)

    PS. hope everyone is fine :) hugs where needed xxx

    love ya all xx

    Ninth Anniversary
    Morning all :)
    Off to catch up .

    Hi :wave:
    Long time no see!
    Been in hospital quite a bit this past week between IV antibiotics and scans I've been busy :rotfl:
    I had a few bad days when I last posted, would have been DH's 35th birthday on the 29th so felt very low and alone. No one remembered :( my mum only realised the next day.
    It was Saturday morning that I got a call from my gp saying that she'd been trying to get me the day before because my blood results were sky high and I needed to get to hospital ASAP. Typically my phone had been playing up and I'd got peed off with it so left it at home.
    Anyway, had 3 days of staying in hospital and then 4 days of running back and forward between hospital and GP getting IV meds and scans. They had wanted me to stay in longer than 3 days but I told them I needed to be with DS as he was so scared he wouldn't leave my room at night, so for him I needed to be at home. I told them I'd be there any time they said and be sure to get all my meds.
    When I got home it was great but had to stay with my mum for a few days, tonight's the first night me and DS have had alone so we've had a Chinese and snuggled on the sofa.

    Some kids I work with in school thought my cannula was weird :rotfl: it was the first time many of them had seen one, hadn't meant them to see it but the bandage had come off so I was fixing it when one of the wee ones spotted it and asked what it was.
    We spent 30 mins explaining to them all what it was and how they had to be very careful not to knock it. They were fantastic about it and hopefully if they ever come across it again they'll know what it is and not to worry about it.

    Managed to find the strength to go Xmas shopping in Lisburn with DS and my mum. I gave DS his money for prezzies and was told he'd already reserved everything so all he had to do was walk in and get them all. He'd even everything totalled so knew he'd come in under his budget :T. He was so proud of himself, I know I am :p he's my :A
    Thankfully I didn't have to walk too much but made an effort to go into his fav fish shop to buy him a new fighter fish as his male died while I was in hospital and he'd got upset because he wanted more baby fish :rotfl::eek: He was so pleased that I'd remembered and he picked a nice one.

    Anyway, it has taken me over an hour to type this and now it's time for my final meds of the day (thankfully back on tablets now) then bed as I'll fall asleep soon enough :o

    Oh if anyone in lisburn's after the nail stuff I saw some in Toscos when I was in getting a refund on toys I'd bought. Only 2 bottles I think but that was about 2 or 3 today so might be gone by now.

    Great to see you posting SpiralingDown. Sorry you have been having such a bad time. Hopefully things will be better now you are having the meds etc. :)
    Smile :) and hopefully the world will smile back
