  • Finally caught up!!

    Took a few days off for christmas :)

    Puppies are harder work than I thought much harder to toilet train than cats. She likes going in the bath which is at least easy to clean up.

    DS has been sick since 6 this morning, not sure what he's got seems ok apart from a bit lethargic.

    Hope everyone had a gd christmas
    I have dyslexia, so get used to my spelling and grammar :)

    its download speed you need to know, upload speed is down to your computer i think

    who you with please?
    im with talktalk and my downloads was about 2mb/s. im now with bt, although its the same lines used, (tt use bt lines) my speed is now over 9 mb/s

    sorry, me getting muddled 2.22 download speed (and 0.6 upload)

    I found the BT page and it says


    Featured Products


    Downstream Line Rate(Mbps)


    Upstream Line Rate(Mbps)


    Downstream Range(Mbps)


    Availability Date

    WBC ADSL 2+ Up to 2.5 -- 1 to 4 Available
    ADSL Max Up to 2 -- 1 to 3.5 Available
    WBC Fixed Rate 1 -- -- Available
    Fixed Rate 1 -- -- Available
    Other Offerings
    Copper Multicast -- -- -- Available

    For all ADSL and WBC Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC) services, the stable line rate will be determined during the first 10 days of service usage.

    Throughput/download speeds will be less than line rates and can be affected by a number of factors within and external to BT's network, Communication Providers' networks and within customer premises.

    The Stop Sale date for Datastream is from 30-Jun-2012; the Formal Retirement date for Datastream is from 30-Jun-2014. The Stop Sale date for IPstream is from 31-Dec-2012; the Formal Retirement date for IPstream is from 30-Jun-2014.
    Note: Please note that postcode and address check results are indicative only. Most accurate results can be obtained from a telephone number check.


    Apparently our local council say there is something called faster broadband which is a service some providers offer - I've not even bothered ringing to ask sky if they do this - it sounds like a load of nonsense

    I go off inbetween levels and collect bonuses .

    I asked you last week but I don't think you saw my post ;) What is the candy shuffle bag thing next to lollipop bonus on top right please ? Since its appeared way back its not given me anything so I can see what it does.

    Sorry I missed it. Its a shuffle bag. I've never used it and it has never appeared on the sugar drop bonus gifts - so I'm certainly not paying to buy it!

    You know when there are no moves available and the board just shuffles all the plain candies around? That is what the shuffle bag does, takes the candies off the board, shuffles them up and throws them back down. So you have a different board to carry on with.

    Great!

    Did you phone them to request it? Worth us knowing in case of problems in future (and perhaps update the first post ... though people will just ask rather than check that first :)).

    Thanks

    Hello :wave:
    I said to hubby last night we have not eaten much :eek:

    She must put loads in then:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Knowing mum she probably puts 2 cupfuls in.
    When she first moved into flat she was still driving and used to come around here and use my machine and hang washing out. Cheeky mum used my stuff and went through loads , I used to be :eek: when I got home from work her Bridget jones panties and hammock bra's where blowing on the line . I used to run out and bring them in. My back garden gets overlooked on 4 sides :D Imagine neighbours thinking they mine :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    about 3 miles - as far away as its possible to get :(

    I might have spoken too soon, still getting the box which says IE has stopped working ...

    If you have still got a dial tone turn off your router (and any switches you have) leave off for about 30 seconds then turn back on, might improve things.

    Been and had a bath while waiting for bath to fill rang Barclaycard ,
    What a palaver got directed to 3 different places when finally got a human on phone..
    Why couldn't i ring and press a number saying found card it would have been a lot easier , This robotic guy kept saying I don't understand perhaps you will find this easier and rambled on again. I said once me neither :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Eventually I got put through to a human hurray then they didn't understand guy kept saying he needed my security details :( When got through to someone who understood he took card long number and name and blocked card then told me to cut it into 4 and throw away. Think next time I will just throw it away if I find one. Its a lot easier than trying to tell them especially if its a Barclaycard ;)
