Yes it is bloomin cold today - have put my heating on extra. brrrr

Congrats IA on paying off that card. Sadly mine are all such huge figures it will take me for ever to pay one off while still paying the minimums on everything else. Still, with my new job that will hopefully change a bit.

Have been to the dentist this morning - had three fillings so now I am a dribbly mess!! It feels so horrid - I need a straw to drink my coffee with!!

Good luck with the job thingy themaccas - like you say, it looks good on your cv, so you may get the financial rewards in due course anyway!

And how cold is a southern "cold" then?

Afternoon all :wave:

Well done on the weight loss Lucy, but I had trouble believing an 11 lb gain......maybe you didn't gain that much, (but then that means you haven't lost that much..... )

Themaccas, more responsibility, more hours, same money? Hope the improved CV is worth the sacrifices?

Re-snowballed last night, and if I could just give up eating our debt free date is only 15 months away. I'm tempted to post an SOA for help. I'd like to be saying good-bye to Barclaycard too.

I thought that but checked with the scales at home and they said the same, so I just ate far to much chocolate and they matched the weight yesterday, so I must have lost that....

I know what you mean about not eating, if I didn't have to had a car I would be laughing!

A cable route I hope. A Netgear Rabbit just isn't going to do it for you.

Well it will, but you'll not get internet...

Have you gone into it and started its connection wizard?

I tell you z, I don't know how people work with computers without ending up on hard drugs! They drive me potty. I spent an hour doing its thing with the CD, the lights are on but it can't connect. Its a Netgear WGT624, it was on the virgin website (didn't buy from there) so I assumed it would work with cable... I'm starting to see my potenital error

(I've now got an irritating tune in my head, and had to pass it on. Though my tune is scarily similar to "The heat is On" from yesterdays willy/milk discussion)

This kind of stuff is comparatively easy. It's when they don't come with manuals and you have to sit down and think "How would I have made it work if I'd written it?"

Which often becomes "How would I have made it work if I'd been tired, bored, not bothered, on drugs and drunk?" Often a eureka moment... :rolleyes:

It does seem to be the right one. Have you gone through the checklist at http://kbserver.netgear.com/kb_web_files/n101209.asp ?
