    Good morning all, a tad breezy here to say the least :eek:



    Ouch! Good luck, shame you are on your own though, hope you have a good book or somesuch.



    You sure you're not mhoc in disguise :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Just a thought, should you not check that order was OK ?:eek:

    this is what life is like everyday in the mhoc household, everything turns into a struggle despite our best efforts to keep some sort of order and control ...

    Todays crisis - all of my data used on my phone, usually very careful about switching off but must have left it on while out yesterday :(

    Very fortunate round here. I do not have data on my phone, well, I do but only 100mb so I am not even switching it on. Everywhere I go I can jump on the wifi, both of the local towns I go to have extensive wifi hotspots (including an area where my OH and his colleague actually installed it :rotfl::rotfl:) and if I am out working with OH I am not interested in data anyway, only calls and texts.

    I know there are phone SIM experts on here, advise please as to how to go about tackling EE and getting them to agree to demands :D

    Both OH and I have EE and I think its a rolling SIM but we just don't have enough data. We went into the EE shop in Liverpool on Saturday and the chap went off to look at our account and came back with a take it or leave it offer, not even bothering to negotiate - £35 for both of us but only up to 2GB of data.

    We have the leaflet from 3 which is offering 12 month plans - limitless minutes and 4GB for £11 a month (ie £22 for both)

    At the mo we are paying £12.99 each for only 500mb, limitless texts and 500 mins (very small users of these)

    I'm with 3, was paying £10 for 2GB of data, unlimited mins and texts, per month, but they recently offered me 8GB for £13. What's good about 3 is they have a "at home abroad" thing where you can use your data abroad in certain countries and not be charged extra. It was a no brainier for me as NZ is included and I can keep my instagram updated for my tutors to show them that I am actually working ;):D:rotfl::rotfl:
    Something unexpected happened which made me smile and still continues to make me smile.

    A bit sad now we just lost the last of the old apple trees ,vthat was here when we moved in. I was looking at it out of the window thinking it was blowing close to window, then realised it was up rooted. But now its totally down. Just glad it missed the conservatory.

    That is so sad. Can you try and retrieve a few twigs and root them? I have done it myself before now just out of curiosity, pop them in a jam jar of water out of the sun, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.

  • As it says on title, starts 23rd March. Start starving yourself and flex those wombling fingers :D

    Oh, and for when it ends, start practising waddling and squeezing zits from greasy skin. But remember McD serve healthy food, a thin slice of gherkin and shredded green stuff which is "lettuce"

    That's a good idea, thanks xx worth a try . ds2 just told me the 3 trees he has that he grow from pips came from that tree, and I can have 1 so that was nice. They are 3 years old and nearly 3 ft , I never thought they would grow when he did it but now I am pleased.:)

    No Robbie Williams .

    Kayne West wasn't singing .

    You mean Robbie Williams was singing rather than just holding the microphone up to the audience?

    :)

    I'm propped up in bed, Fourp staring out the window & giving an every 30 second weather update, Bryn cat is whining on bed tail board, Mr P giving the carpet a good raking...
    Can't hear myself think :rotfl:
    But I'm snug as a bug :D

    No trains, both roads out of town blocked, we are cut off :eek:
