    Yes, the ringing is annoying especially at that time in the morning :( At the moment I'm finding there's definitely a fine line between enjoying having nothing to do and boredom setting in. I seem to have gone off all my usual hobbies as well which doesn't help. I've done the cross stitch and jigsaw and usually I'd be raring to start something else but a 'can't be faffed' attitude seems to have set in.

    Hope you find something to ease the boredom a little bit. Well done on the CC :T xx

    Grrr to scam phone calls.



    You shouldn't need to have a phone plugged in for your broadband to work - I didn't have a landline phone for years. Only just got one again because they should work in an emergency if the network goes down.



    Are you registered with Telephone Preference Service?

    I hate waking early with a start like that too. Glad you got the do not disturb set up. They just keep creating so many things to need to remember!

    Thanks HHD.
    Mr N is in amazing health at the moment.
    I think getting J & J made the world of difference to him.
    I hoped at one point he would be arond til DS finished him Masters as he was going downhill & here we are 8 months later.
    Funny to think Miiss J will most likely go first.

    A bit of good news today.
    I have had a wee windfall today.
    So have been good & added to the scooter fund.
    I have made the emotional decision that I need to get a scooter for dodding around where I live & forget about it going in the car for the meantime.
