I guess it's time to realise I will never own a house again then  It makes me sad really, but we have personal complications (husband on ex's mortgage still etc.) so it is a waiting game until the kids grow up. By the time that happens we'll be too far behind to buy anything. That's the reality as he will only get set amount from his old house. Oh well, there's more to life that a house, but renting isn't quite the same! You can never truly relax as the landlord might decide to sell or stop renting anytime they fancy it. BOO!

What a  nightmare! We had problems with our smart meter so they are definitely not so smart....! Then I had a letter saying the gas was going to be cut off as we'd removed a meter without authorisation....the company hadn't told the gas board we had a new meter!!! It was sorted but pretty shoddy really.

At home we have all our photos etc. backed up on several clouds but also use a NAS and hard drives. I don't trust just ONE solution! Data is too precious.

I use a cloud accounting system for work and that does scare me a little as if it went kaput I'd be in trouble!!

I bet it makes bugger all difference. I can't see how it'll wipe them out at all, most of them are in tunnels etc. aren't they? Not just sitting around waiting to be bombed. Believe me, I hope I am wrong and it will sort them out.  I can't help but feel it'll just be used by the extremists to recruit even more to their number. I don't know what the answer is.

Oh dear, dear Barney. I'm not sure what we'd do without your weekly anecdotes. They sound utterly ridiculous!!!

The word 'oops' springs to mind. Barney strikes again. 

I think the air strikes are a MASSIVE mistake and I am glad Corbyn is saying his piece. I am actually starting to really like him, at least he seem to have opinions he sticks to. The air strikes are a stupid knee jerk reaction and will be a waste of time and money. They'll likely kill lots of innocent people and create even more recruits for ISIS. Brilliant.

Makes a change! I was relieved to see they joined in. 

THE HOGGING OF THE LANES ON MOTORWAYS 25th November 2015 9:45 PM
From what I've seen, lorry drivers tend to be the worst road hogs on motorways. How many times have you seen a lorry right up the backside of a car, or really close to the back of another lorry?

Obviously apart from the lorry and bus drivers past and present here who are obviously super professional 

 

So true! Lorries are the worst!!! 

Bond.. Have you seen it yet? Thoughts? 24th November 2015 10:24 PM

I want to see it as Daniel Craig is hot, but I never get the chance to go to the cinema! Will wait until it's available outside the cinema. It's a shame if it's not great, I loved Skyfall.
