Does anyone know of an ISP who will supply broadband on an invoice, rather than a direct debit or standing order, basis?  I promised to look into this for a friend who doesn't have that facility on their bank account.  I know BT require a DD to be set up.

Arrived. Safe. Warm. Tired.

Thankyou to the Bears.

More words tomorrow

I am planning to hit the road in an hour or so and will be away until Friday or Saturday.  I will have net access on my phone, but I'm not sure if I'll have it anywhere else, so if I need to know something email, text or call me in case I can't get properly online.

Stay well, everyone xXx

Is it just me, or is Stephanie getting a little inappropriately old for a show aimed at the under-5's?

I can imagine it won't be long before the demographic of that show changes significantly.

Today I am happy to see the huge pile of hand-me-downs has, after several days work, turned into several piles of sorted, laundered and folded clothes.  I know what I'm keeping and what I'm passing on.  It feels good.

I got the call at 01:38. I'd slept through two previous attempts; granny passed at 00:55.
