My iPad used to change from portrait to landscape view if I turned it round - now its locked itself and doesn't change - I have looked at the Settings stuff but can't work out how to unlock it. If anyone can advise I would appreciate help.

Also, I have looked at the Dr Oetker promotional site and it says vouchers will be limited to 4 per postal address. I suppose the emailed £1 vouchers might be OK per different email address but the posted gift cards (not that I anticipate winning even 1 let alone more than £4 !) will be a problem.

Is it an iPad one or two. If it s an iPad one there is a lock next to the sound up and down buttons, try that.

MKS I've not been around much but have been thinking about you and your dear dad too. x

Thanks, TS. It's his birthday tomorrow.
Hope all is good with you and yours. Bet Teeny is growing fast. DGD2 is 6 in a few weeks but already in size 7-8 yo clothes. She just keeps shooting up.

More deo :eek: think we need to do a parcel for mhoc's DS.

I didn't get as far as Sainsbobs yesterday as had 2 bags full from SD.

They have done a total refurb of my local as Argoose is moving in. :eek: Last couple of weeks there hasn't been any sign of any 20p bits while they have been moving aisles around.

I have enough deo to last 5 years or so....alas empty shelves at S, so none for me..


I agree with your theory that the staff clear the 20p RTC stuff before the punters get a lookin

DD just called and he OH has just seen the specialist after his cholesteatatoma op a few weeks ago and he is now deaf in that ear. Apparently they will leave it for 6 months and he can either have a hearing aid or they will rebuild the bones in his ear. I cant remember if it was vanilla twist or queen of cheap who gave me advise last time but would appreciate some again.

My emotional ties with the house are strong as I have been there 35 years plus. Yes hotel is nice but its not home. Skip has just been delivered and damp chap called as surveyor did not include 2nd bedroom in the quote and emailed me and the gist of it was existing damp is not covered. I emailed him back and said we had a new damp course 12 years ago and there is was no existing damp. But the damp man said he will go in and take a pic of the damp meter against the wall so when they come back and ask he will have proof.

What was your son's job before he lost it. And have you met his new wife. Is it a love match or do you think otherwise ( ie visa! )
How old is he? And as for the parent /son bond sometimes its broken for ever.
My OH managed to rebuild his relationship with his daughter and they are partners in crime now as he is retired and she is home with the baby. But relationship with his son is not the same. He gets envious that DS calls me all the time and only calls him if I am unavailable. I remind him that all the years they were growing up he was not there so what does he expect. Sad but true.
However DD is about to have some more therapy as she is struggling with her eating and her hair is falling out again.

25 and he is an outdoor adventure sports instructor - he has worked for 2 of the biggest well known companies in the UK - if he does not get a good reference from the kent place then possibly thats it, career finished. Twice now he has not got through the trial periods.
But possibly the originally firm will have him back if he is still unemployed in November.
As for the wife I know absolutely nothing whatsoever, he has not said a single word to us ever. my only info is 3rd hand so I dont know how accuate it is as he does not always have much grasp of the truth. Ive heard 2 stories as to how they met but I dont know what to believe as Ive been fed so many lies. It seems to be December 2015 when they were both working in Hong Kong and engaged by March 2016 - by which time he was loosing his job. I know nothing about her at all.
They invited themselves here unannounced for a couple of days over New Year 2017 (much cuffle as dinner had to stretch for an extra 2 so more mash and veggies, no beds made up etc, fortunatley we had eldest son and GF here at the time who were life savers, organising everything) So we have met her.
As to whether its a love match or the need for spousal visas - who knows. I dont go to his FB page as its full of gushy lovey dovey hippy dippy stuff and endless endless selfies- possibly out there you can live on just love and no money but its not so practical in the Uk) I really dont have enough info to make a proper assessment - maybe its 50/50.
