    Sheils, I am already annoyed at Vodaphone after a wasted journey yesterday because their system was down. I called the shop today and left a message but they haven't got back to me, tried again and still on answerphone.:mad::mad::mad:

    Nice surprise package arrived- huge bundle of Walking with Dinosaurs goodies from Sunday Times comp :j

    Well done on the win - sounds good. :T
    Hate it when companies don't get back to you. :(



    Thanks FF - we drink a lot of tea!

    Saw this pic and thought it was good seeing as they have banned the L word.

    Nice to see the Inn a bit busier today, hope I can remember all thats going on.

    Well done on your win Wingo. Yes its funny about the TV and holiday. DD2 is struggling with money as she is at Uni and DD2 is having a better time now she has finished Uni. Very brave of you with the spider I would have run a mile.

    Have always used the expression Pea Souper firefly. Glad it is not as bad as you expected though. We have had a frost overnight but has cleared now and is just damp. Another word we can't use is P A R L O R as I use it when I take the dogs for a cut and blow dry and it always blanks it out. Think they are just going too far now really.

    Won't be long now until you go to Crete then Elle and glad you have got your old lappie sorted ready to take.

    Loved your pics again Sheils and glad you had a good time. Shame about the washing up though. You will soon get it cleared and at least they behave themselves and are safe.

    Sorry if I have forgot anyone, will catch you later if I have.

    Have a good day folks.
    BIG THANKS TO ALL WHO POST THE COMPETITIONS

    Good Idea FF! :D

    I have just had a WEM from the Tropicana twitter comp and have won a spa treatment - don't know how that will work. Hopefully will be able to use it :)
    Got one of the 500 Mascara win from the Supersavyme comp too. Mascaras are always handy. This week is going well :j

    Glad they have sorted out the love! I have heard of a pea souper too FF but thought it was more a London thing.

    Got the Smartphone going :j:j:j

    And the printer :j:j:j

    While I was doing the settings on the phone, asked me for WPA for wireless....light bulb moment...that's what the printer wanted and figured out it's my broadband password :o

    Only odd thing with the phone was the charger plug doesn't fit :( but luckily the Nexus tablet one is doing the job. Will pop into Vodaphone shop again tomorrow as in the centre to get my eyes tested. Busy, busy week.

    Well done on the wins, Sheils, am sure you will work out a wee trip round the spa win ;)

    Now just need to figure out how to use the phone :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
