If I win Euromillions (I think even standard millions won't do the trick) then I know who to call! If it's still on the market that is. If not I've got two other castles on my buy list. I have to win Euromillions though... there's no point in owning your own castle if you can't afford to heat it.

Just spent a few minutes drooling over Tuscan villas.....

I definitely need to win the lottery.:o

The normal lottery would do though, some stunning stuff out there for a few hundred k which would leave enough to live comfortably on from a couple of mil, so no need for Euromillions.

Should have bought dh's families, we could have lost agents fees at least .



My tv is doing a weird thing. What ever channel I press on remote it goes to channel 43. It only also lets me watch bbc 1 I think, or perhaps a challenge in the twenties, maybe 26. To watch another channel I have to select it by scrolling through the peg, which is very hard to read on this tv, so not an easy by pass to the tv's temper tantrum.

Any ideas?

Beware of cheap solar lights. They only hold their charge for a few hours after dusk and have gone out by 9:30pm in winter.

I'll need something as I don't think there are any lights where I'm moving to ... so if I drive in after dark, it's pitch dark, and along the garden in the pitch dark too ... so I need to get something sorted at some point.

I agree with Lydia's warning about cheap solar lights. As long as you are aware that they might only last a season, then I guess you aren't likely to be disappointed. Will be interested to see how they get on

Better, longer-term lights would probably either be one with a PIR as part of the overall construction of it, or you can also get PIR bulbs for wired outdoor lights without a PIR sensor in them.

Have you tried switching it off and on again at the wall? My freeview box froze last night and, after presuming it was my remote control batteries which had gone and therefore going to my local shop to buy replacement batteries :eek: , I discovered that changing the batteries wasn't the solution. Hence the switching it off and on, which solved it.

If that doesn't do it, I'm afraid I've run out of solutions but hope you get it fixed.

First thing to try is new battery/batteries in remote. On occasions when TV has done weird stuff here (we have 2 remotes, one for the TV and one for the Virgin Media box) that seems to have worked. At least it's a relatively cheap fix to attempt! :rotfl:

Ok will try both those!

Thanks!

Posted same time as Yorkie1. Another good suggestion! :T

Do you have a box at all LiR? Or is just via aerial?

Arial, tv is a freeview included TV set, a cheapy.

Indeed. There's nothing worse than buying a dud then finding out you've got Rolf Harris lurking down the end of the Garden :eek:
