    Good morning all :)

    I've no idea what's going on as I've been busy in RL so haven't been on for ages. I hope everyone is keeping well :)

    Good morning all, cloudy one today, but we have some outside work to do so fingers crossed.



    Does he actually have a satellite connection? If he does then it should work, but he might be better off getting a freesat box.

    In his flat does he have an aerial point? And is there an aerial on the flat? If so then it could be he needs to call in maintenance, or call the landlord if it is rented. We often have to sort out aerial connections in flats, the problems vary from the previous tenants having decided to rip the cabling out to something simply not turned on.

    There is a dish outside that as far as we know runs to 3 flats. The area is notoriously bad for picking up tv reception. There is an aerial point in the lounge.

    I told him this morning to have a word with his neighbours who have been there 3 years as they probably had the same problem when they moved in.

    His DGF is going to speak to neighbour this morning then to the letting agent. We only know of the reception problems as ds1 lived in the ground floor flat for several years.

    Thanks for your advice Enterprise, I've past it on xx

    If the dish runs to three flats already it would probably need a new LNB (attaches the cables to the dish), and the dish might not be big enough either.

    Talking with the neighbours is best.

    Good morning Elite :hello:

    After such glorious sunshine yesterday we've got cloudy damp weather this morning. I thought it was too good to be true. If course it could change, you never know.

    Other news today, the bed we bought for DS4 and DGF arrives today so Mr AJ is doing his duty and attending for delivery. We offered to buy them a bed, thinking double, which is what he had here. Oh no, none of that, a king size no less costing BofD more money :eek: I had to chuckle though, it's obvious DS4 will get a better sleep as he's a big lad, well over 6ft tall :cool:

    Right, lead me to the coffee please, I'm desperate. Happy shopping if you're heading out.

    And to think Di has been a grandma just over 24 hours :rotfl: :rotfl: I bet she's sleeping better now that's over :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Hugs to the poorly Elite, past and present and those low in spirit. Thinking of you all xx

    I did a sharpies C&C yesterday for collection this morning. It's to a different store and I did one for DB first, initiating him. My email has come showing 10 in stock! I can only presume his are too. Is this happening to everyone please?

    I think they have stocked up recently Picasso. Remember you can always reject on the grounds of no shower holder.
