    So it looks like we are really doing this ...

    BeeTee are installing this morning, so should at least have bb again :).

    We have a master socket by the door that we have never really used since moving in - when they install would they install a socket behind the tv where the router needs to sit? Is that included in a free install or does their system show we have a socket/line so we have to use the existing one? If they do include install will they run a cable round the outside or skirting board inside? And leave all my V M cabling alone (as I may need that again)?

    Finally, if we decide within 14 days this service is not for us, will I be hit with a bill for the install (upfront cost was £9.99 for delivery and activation, but no mention of a phone line charge?).

    Sorry for the questions, as you know I have had an epic fail on the cancel and renegotiate technique :o.

    "I'm leaving" I said ... "Bye then" replied V M :(.

    Many thanks

    Bit difficult to answer this, different engineers do different things, but if you ask the engineer nicely he might put in a new box for you, if that is the case he should put it where you ask.

    If he cannot do that it would be really easy to get a local engineer in to run an extension in, search for independent telephone engineers.

    As for where they would run the cable, I would expect them to run it outside, unless it is not accessible, in which case it would be inside, probably around the skirting as you say, though if we were to run internal cable we try to put it under the outside edge of any carpets.

    Basically, offer the engineer a cuppa and have a quick chat, if you don't ask you don't get, and bear in mind he has been given a set amount of time for your job.

    As for charge if you leave, check in the very small print, I honestly do not know, but if there is one expect it to be around £130.

    All this is educated guesswork from what we have seen.

    Please can I ask what is a good price for a
    San Disk Ultra SDHC 8GB

    We were collecting the Boots order this afternoon and OH spotted this on the clearance section for £5. I had a till spit - spend £4 get 200 points so it seemed reasonable.

    When we went through the till another till spit came out - another spend £4 get 200 points with a mid April date :D

    The micellar water is fab, think I will order some more. Ive got a clear plastic bottle with pump I'll decant them into for easy dispensing.

    Incidentally having waited until Monday the promised 250 points Boots customer service team would go on overnight but didnt. TO compensate the chap put 500 points on my account instead :)

    I would rate that as no more than average price, I tend to get any memory cards from 7dayshop.

    :beer:Morning guys

    Been a while since I've posted. I'm okay and taking it day by day in my recovery. Only issue is I can't put weight on for the life of me regardless of what I eat.

    Anyway just thought I'd mention that there are brewdog beers reduced in store Asda branches.

    Hope this helps the craft beer drinkers amongst us :beer:

    Good to see you back NG :D

    Have you tried protein drinks? Sounds like you may well have done.

    That's annoying marmie.
    The roads are terrible around here, motorists dodging the holes making very dangerous driving.

    Terrible around here too, and some of the potholes are in the cycling line and about 4 inches deep :eek: Seriously would not suggest cycling up that road without knowing it well :eek: That is a Surrey road.

    Funny thing is, another road I travel on is a Hampshire road and very few potholes.
