Crikey, what a day this has been on the internet. Have been trying to work today and it has been a nightmare sending large files. Urrrggghhhh.... Just watching the news about the scale of the problem. What's everyone else's experiences been like today?

There's been a problem?


My only gripe is hotmail changing to outlook has unlinked our hotmail accounts and seems they can no longer be linked on the mobile site. :mad:

I thought one of the NPs had a new job this morning. Saw an article in the Telegraph. It was entitled

Pastures new for director of the Archers

I was very excited and was keen to get on here to celebrate and then they changed the article. Apparently our dear friend doesn't have a new job after all:(. Sorry Pastures...

Apparently there has been a massive cyber attack. Here's an article:

I probably had difficulties as I was trying to send fairly large files over the net at the same time it was kicking off. I had three files to send, that normally takes about 30 seconds per email (I send one attachment on each). It took up to 20 minutes for each one. Horrid. I also had trouble with a general email I was trying to send. Tried six times and the net wouldn't connect due to a 'technical issue'. It was that kind of stuff.

My linked hotmail account is still there - very top right hand corner it says e.g. 'Nikk ster' with my profile picture - if I click on that it lets me swap accounts (I created a second account when I wanted to ask my unbalanced and demanding ex boss if he would give me a reference for current job - had been avoiding old work email account as I didn't want to see anything about old job/ requests for help/ to go back for a few days which ex-colleagues told me had been sent... not sure why I am justifying having a second account btw!).

Can't see the equivalent on the mobile site, but right at the bottom of the page on that you can select to view it as the desktop site. Hope there is something in there that helps you lir

Some of you will remember my posting a few days ago, where B&Q had credited my QUIDCO / Bank account with money from an item I'd never collected. Here is part of their reply.



They seem to be admitting they don't track QUIDCO Items :eek: Then expect me to sort it out!:mad: It looks like GDB2222 is going to make a fortune on the fleet of Lawnmowers they ordered, and didn't collect:rotfl:

As for the £12 - I've just sent it to the Daisy Palmer Trust set up on behalf of the daughter of our old friend Inspector Monkfish, so the whole exercise hasn't been a complete waste of time, I hope B&Q are happy with that?

Good call!

lj, glad you are around. Just wanted to let you know that I haven't forgotten the books. Unfortunately they are stuck in my boot at the moment and it is jammed locked. I do need to get this sorted but have been waiting to get paid as it isn't a cheap fix.

There are impressionable young men reading, I won't know which way to look at the next NP meet up

Erm, yeah. So, perhaps we should arrange a np meet up, like now!?;)

That would be a full car load of 'stuff'

I've no idea how big your car is .... but I'd suggest that you'll keep finding "one more thing" and run out of space. Think about hiring a car like a Citroen Berlingo/Partner or Renault Kagoo.
Easy to load, big square back, side sliding doors. Easy to get stuff in and out. No awkward sloping sides.

If you've already got one of those.... then it might be an idea to hire a small van.

Worth the cost for the hassle-free day.

Yes, can do it on desk top.:)

Edit...should have said, desktop is very clunky. Lots of requests to upgrade the engine and signing in or reloading to pc site every time I switch between accounts. It's a real pita.

Dh and I have a few hotmail accounts (I have a user failure issue with gmail, its a real pain my gmail issue infact) and they are linked so either can attend to something's in the accounts. I know it's just a few seconds/couple of minutes each time, but its a few times a day and its usually at times I use specifically for those quick checks....which I now cannot do so it mucks with my schedule.
