  • Cath I went for BT with £50 prepaid mastercard.

    In a bit of a cleft stick as lots of providers don't do broadband here.

    I have had bad experiences with plusnet and ee.

    Earthie you are right, there is something good about freshening up resources, professional decluttering I guess. I did promise the young man who is starting with me some chem resources though, since he has never taught it.

    What a pain about the pen drive! The first usb stick I bought, I bought from an ebay seller, and it stopped loading at 24% every time, so I made a claim, got a refund, and bought from a shop :( its a horrible experience. But honestly, I'd never trust just one storage device - I have a lot :o though I don't update them all equally. I have my old creaky laptop, two flash drives (one of which is now too small to take all my files :o) and an external hard drive :o That number of backups happened by accident, I confess :D

  • Thanks MWC.
    For me this is a drop in the ocean, trying to think of the health benefits.

  • The mortgage plus the childcare plus travel cost me my salary minus about £150.
    I know all the MMM stuff but it is a pretty obvious equation!
