Sounds like both you and Missk need to take things a bit easier...

Bit annoyed at wasting a Sunday sleeping, but worse things happen

I have a long hospital day in the horrid hospital with no Internet connection this week so I plan on taking some decent books and doing some reading and relaxing.

On the subject of email accounts. I have an ntlworld account operated by virgin and a onetel email account that does the same, onetel seems to be operated by talktalk with no support whatsoever. I use outlook.

What I would like to do is to be able to send emails from the onetel account using outlook, but virgin isp doesn't let me, nor does sky broadband. Is there a mainstream broadband provider that lets you send email from another account using outlook?

This is what has delayed me getting round to changing our email addresses to something like gmail. What I really need to do is buy a domain name for my work emails, but then I need to be able to send emails from this domain name using my ISP and I can't, which limits the purpose.

I'm not a huge fan of baked beans, but they are definitely improved with cheese (I seem to be following a theme here).

deep fried chips, topped with cheese, then add mayo, chilli sauce and topped off with houmous.

best cure for a night's drinking. If you feel like you need some greenery, you can drop a few bits of salad on there.
mmmmmmmmmmmm

surely all you have to do is add multiple accounts to your mail programme (ie outlook?) on a mac, you just add another email address, add the incoming and outgoing mail server, change some port settings if you want it secure and it's done?

I have gmail, work1 and work2 set up on my mac mail. Could set up multiple gmails too if I wanted.

Surely the whole point of gmail (or any other webmail service) is to cut out having to use outlook or any other PC based product so it matters not one iota who your ISP is or indeed where in the world you have logged on.

I'm also feeling sluggish today but all in my mind I'm sure. For some reason Santander underwriting approved my remortgage today and then it is just valuation that needs approving - should be fine as I have been very conservative but they may base it on 'desktop survey' of most recent purchase price and date rather than factoring the doubling in size.

Thursday this week is planning D day.

Edit: Trying to multiquote Hamish as well but the forum don't like it.

No, absolutely not the same... Cheesy mash I'm allergic to, these I can eat! I'd love to be able to eat cheesy mash though *swoons*

I had a closer look at the picture and tried to find out - looks like they're in pastry.

So beans and cheese in pastry .... lots of calories to eat some beans/cheese

Still needs chips with it too

I noticed in Lidl's frozen cabinet they have a cheesy chips dinner for 99p. Thing is, I can't help thinking that buying their 1Kg of frozen oven chips for 67p and a block of cheese would yield many more portions of cheesy chips for the same price.

1Kg of oven chips is four big portions...... say 50g of cheese on each of those (200g in total) with cheese at a max of £6/Kg. £1.87 for four portions.

That is why you (and I) are not the sort of customer supermarkets are interested in

Or any one who cooks?

I draw my line at making my own cheese and will buy packets of chips. However, I have been known to give hungry small people cheesy hm wedges as a treat rather than buy chips.
