My broadband service has gone down. The computer is connected to the router and the router shows ADSL connection, but no Internet. My ISP is Orange. I have been happy (ish) with the service, if you don’t count the issues with the LiveBox – until now.

Weekends away

I remortgaged in November. Just around the same time that I was made redundant, I got notification that my mortgage had completed. I breathed a sigh of relief. It all went through during the middle of the month.
So, here are the events of the last few weeks. Having paid up a full month in advance, [...]

We’re all trying to save money in the run up to Christmas – but because of the credit crunch it’s a bigger issue than normal. Many of our favourite radio and TV presenters have picked up on this issue – Chris Evans’ radio show has the “Don’t Cancel Christmas” slot, for example. And various breakfast TV [...]
