That’s good to hear, Richard – any positive variation of circumstances is always a relief, and very welcome in these times.

Congrats – that’s a nice early Christmas present from an unexpected source – DWP!! Well done.😀😀

That’s something I should have remembered. When I visit the GP next week, I’ll be going armed with a cross sample of 5 years’ worth of BP readings.😀

Richard – clinical trials, one could write a book about them and ( probably ) some have.

When I got my diagnosis ( locally ) they said there was a clinical trial available for those with my variety of Lymphoma and they wanted me to go straight on to it. I felt that I was being rushed into a choice and would be used as cannon fodder to go into the…[Read more]

Best of luck, Richard.

Glad all is OK – building work can be one of two things straightforward or problematic – there doesn’t seem to be much middle ground.

Hope you end up with what you want.😀

It was down earlier when I tried just before 8. According to “isitdown” the server was down.

Lee has had builders running riot at the moment and he’s just upgraded to FTTC so maybe a hiccup from one of those??

It seems to be the same all over – last week my friend came out after a week in hospital. Something that will resonate with Bob, he went in with internal bleeding. It turned out it was from an ulcer in his oesophagus, caused by acid reflux eating away at the digestive tract aided by one of his heart meds. So a change of heart meds, transfusions…[Read more]

Cheers, Lee. That’s good to hear – welcome back, Bob!!

On some new phones you need to look in the apps and put the music icon onto one of your home screens.

Undoubtedly there are bargains to be had, but my take on it after browsing the ‘deals’ is that it’s all a glorified marketing exercise, with the big figure, headline grabbing deals supported ( if not over-compensated ) by multiple purchases of minimum discounted items – or in fact, price increases.

I’ve had my eyes on THESE for the last week for…[Read more]

I thought that I’d give Kaspersky Secure Connection a try and the first thing I noticed was that as it was pretending to be in Amsterdam, Forumite thought I was a Johnny Foreigner and kicked me out. Haven’t bothered after that!!

Thanks Lee – it’s good to hear he’s OK, not so good to hear he’s down with an infection. Pass on our best wishes for him on his road to recovery.

I’ve got a friend in a similar situation – just ambulanced to hospital with internal bleeding and a fever. Turns out he has a UTI and side effects from blood thinners – he’s waiting for a blood…[Read more]

Had the chair for about a month now and all positive so far. The wheels are that smooth, if your legs touch the seat pad before your ar5e, it can slide back – less likely on carpet – so a hand on one of the arms makes sure you aren’t sitting down onto a vacant space!!

There’s a rocking mechanism that says it gives you about 15 degrees of movement…[Read more]

Well, a bit of progress – phase one completed. I’m still using the old desk, now modified, but it’s looking a lot neater overall.

Got myself THIS computer chair and solved the floor problem with THESE. I have to say they work extremely well and haven’t left a mark on the floor.

I removed the top shelf that carried the monitors and replaced it…[Read more]

Bob – it’s a good job she didn’t have the local SnapOn agent’s number – you’d have been on egg and beans on toast for the next year, and what that would produce in your stoma bag doesn’t bear thinking about!!😣😷

Mark – I think that’s going to be one of those presents you buy yourself – cuts out the justification argument.😀😂

All the best, Richard. It’s a difficult time to spend awaiting the outcome of a loved-one’s operation – really sensible of you to have some distractions to hand, the tablet and the dogs will be a godsend when your mind is in need of a diversion.

How you care for her is often more important than just caring – by that, I mean that the wife nearly…[Read more]

Hoping for the best of outcomes for you, Bob.  ( )

………or even nights!!!😀😂😋

Bob, I was just listening to aMoody Blues track and remembered your visit to Skeggy for the concert.

How did it go??

We were all so glad you were OK we forgot to ask!!
