The Elite:The Good, The Bad and the Glitchy

Afternoon all - wondering if it's worth going out for toilet rolls as only have about 6 x 4 packs left? Can't really be bothered though as very wet & windy here, not to mention cold too. Maybe we'll get free ones again?? Hubby back in bed as in pain & little sleep.

She really should have had insurance when she booked the flight as things happen when we least expect them. A single trip one should be pretty inexpensive. Maybe get her to open her own Nationwide for annual insurance later, if she reaches the amount to add in monthly, it doesn't cost much to add worldwide cover on annually & then you don't need to worry. Make sure she has an ESTA as otherwise they won't let her in or possibly on plane. I always keep a note of mine with expiry date in passport.

Had the cheap i3 refurbished laptop from Argos - looks totally unused, put windows 10 on it & it flies. Hubby however prefers his desktop :eek:so we've just had a delivery of a HP elite (get me!) i3 core with Windows 7 Pro refurb that again looks like new & I managed to get this for £78 delivered:T:THoping this one flies too once I put windows 10 on!

Haven't put windows 10 on mine yet as I use for internet banking with Nationwide. I read on here 10 doesn't work with Barclays - has anyone used Nationwide online banking & does it work OK with Windows 10?

Looks like setting up the new computer is down to me again as he's taken himself off to bed. I've only just realised why he didn't like the laptop - he'd been using it on the setting where t'internet takes up just 1/3rd of the screen!:eek:MEN!

Ah well, I get a laptop to use downstairs or out & about.:)

I know she should have it has all happened very quickly as she couldn't book anything definite until she knew both her and her BF had passed their 4th year. She has done the ESTA already the other day so at least that's one thing ticked off.

Now she has asked me the best place to buy dollars at a good rate. So I said I would ask my friends.

We had the frozen BBQ stuff tonight and it didn't go down very well I'm afraid. The ribs were nicely flavoured but not a lot of meat on them. One or two had NO MEAT AT ALL on them:o
I also bought the chicken and chorizo on skewers and they had an awful aftertaste. DD left all of hers:o

A friend of mine sold her apartment in Antalya a few months ago. Just prior to that she had Albanian squatters :eek::eek:
