Morning all
It's even foggier this morning than yesterday. But it's lifted somewhat overnight, last night you couldn't see the houses across the road or down thè bottom of the garden :eek:

Been a while since we have seen this:Something unexpected happened which made me smile and still continues to make me smile.

Morning everyone :wave:Bubbs you don't need a landline for Samba & watching a video (to get credit) it doesn't use up your data if you're connected via your Samba SIM (http://help.sambamobile.com/Faq/Answer/58) but would if using your normal connection.
If you are somewhere with (free) wifi you can log in to your account & watch the videos. Each video you watch allows you to view approx 10 pages or send something like 30 emails (it does say somewhere on their site). They have double data days fairly regularly (each video earns 2ce the data). This isn't for you if you want to download things, but it's useful for say looking on here or whilst in a hotel that charges an arm & a leg for their wifi. Credit doesn't run out so you can build it up regularly for when you need it.
If you get someone to refer you you'll pay £2.50 instead of £5as a 1 off fee & you'd also need a dongle. Sometimes they have better offers than this, but not that often. You can top it up (pay for xxmb) but I have never done that (this credit does run out after I think 30 days).
The other main alternative I'd say is Ovivo with a 1 off £20 charge (£5 admin fee + you'll get £15 of credit on the SIM if you reach your monthly allowance). They piggyback on Vodafone. Go for the tablet SIM & you'll get 1gb data a month. They say the ads are not intrusive & don't appear very often, but I'd disagree. Using apps (if you are actually using it in a tablet) is fine but looking at MSE I get the ads come up every 3-5 pages. You then have to wait 5 seconds on that page before you can click continue. If you can put up with that it's great. Go via a cashback site. Also currently you'll get a Cineworld ticket so you'll be well on the way to bringing the cost down (if you buy by 20th March). No doubt there is a thread on here, but this is the HUKD one http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/ovivo-mobile-now-tcb-buy-freedom-0-data-0-bundle-for-a-one-off-fee-20-potentially-1842170. They do spam you a bit with their offers so you may not want to use your main email address. I think you can combine it with a referral.

Woke up this morning with a headache, probably due to worrying about my bus lane fine which I've appealed. The photo they sent me shows my car so far away even I can't recognize my own car! My appeal is based on my belief that I changed lanes immediately before the bus lane after some other cars had overtaken me.
Has anyone here ever appealed motoring offences before, if so how did you get on? My biggest worry is that they have 15 days to respond to my appeal whereas if I don't pay £30 within 14 days of 11/3/14, the fine goes upto £60. It's all in their favour :mad: I want to fight it because of the principle, just worried this might end up costing me double what it could have :huh:
I hope you get it sorted, sorry no advice.Sealed pot challenge number 003 £350 for 2015, 2016 £400 Actual£345, £400 for 2017 Actual £500:T:T £770 for 2018 £1295 for 2019:j:j spc number 22 £1,457Stopped Smoking 22/01/15:D:D::dance::dance:- 5 st 1 1/2lb :dance::dance:0 -

Good morning everyone.
Done a biscuit and cleaning shop at 10.00pm last night, DS1 decided to tell me at 9.00pm last night that he needed cooking ingredients for school today, and typical we didnt have them so a trip to Sada was in order. Well never stayed up to check results, but all ok this morning.
Fog is really bad round this way today, drive safe everyone.
SpirrallingDown, good to see you posting, sorry that your meds are causing you problems, take care.0
