    Made me smile, madmuppet was such a lovely character. Glad that you enjoyed Lamer Tree, any Tom this year? They do grow quickly. Am waiting for my DGC to come out next week. 😀

    Yes madmuppet was. :A

    The wrong Tom though. :(

    Tom Odell the one the youngsters like. :rotfl:

    Oh dear VT.......your plants must be in trouble in this heat.....do you have anyone who can help?

    Luckily I don't have too many at the moment and mum has been popping over to help water them. I managed myself for first time tonight but wasn't easy.

    I am proud to report my poppies painting had a very quick showing at start of bbc 2 gardening programme tonight. Have very excited message.
    The shed decorated by the ex servicemen is lovely. The feature they have made for the outside are inspirational and they have the cutest scottie dog sculpture.
    Obviously I can't post photos as not my copy right but they have done the girl, and themselves proud:)

    Oh my Samsung tablet has updated the keyboard and I now have a new icon button.

    Am away but DS is picking etc but he tells me that the more he picks, the more it grows 😀

    That's been my experience in the last couple of years. I'm normally still picking it in September :D

    Evening all! Popping my head back round the door after a busy week or so and a long catch-up. Hope everyone is feeling a bit cooler this evening, I feel in need of a good night's sleep after the last few nights!

    Enterprise, I've tried the socket and there's definitely no dial tone so I'll have to speak to Plusnet about getting it sorted. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Another job to add to the to do list! It seems to be getting longer rather than shorter, the joys of full time work :o

    If you did as I mentioned and took off the bottom half and plugged into the socket underneath it, then you used the TEST SOCKET (this is directly on the end of the line and no internal cabling is involved). PlusNet will suggest that it could be internal cabling problem, tell them you tried it in the TEST SOCKET and had no dial tone, they cant argue with that. We have had a few customers where we have gone out to them after they have had the line tested (and been told it was fine) to no dial tone. Keep on at them if they say the line is OK.
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare
