    I'm sorry you were worried about the scam. :grphg: It is definitely a scam as they would not know that you had been hacked - unless they had done the hacking. So you should not worry about these type of calls and just put the phone down.

    If any caller says there's a problem with your computer, or your bank account etc. Just tell them that your son deals with everything for you and they can call back when he's in. That will put them off.

    If you do have any worries that seem urgent and can't get in touch with your nephew then try and contact me. :blue thumb:

      El cheapo construction, 0.5mm powder coated tubular steel and a cover that is held onto each side by velcro that wraps around the tubing (so can sort of spin round); I had a look online earlier to see if the tubes were by an slim chance available (they weren't) and discovered that almost everyone that has bought this particular gazebo has had similar grief; buy cheap, buy twice.

      So, rather than faff about any more, I bought a much sturdier one today (over three times the price, with double braced framing at each corner and actually bolts together as opposed to push fit) which has fully washable covers, and weighs in at a hefty 16kg. Tomorrow's job is erecting it. :snork:

      @moyra - I am also more than happy to be contacted if you ever need advice or help; you can PM me on here if you want, or if it is easier I can send you my email?

          Good morning everyone, after running the malware bytes soft ware through my pc fingers crossed it seems so much better this morning. Thanks Shiney and FC for your kind offers. I am just praying the malware bytes has corrected whatever was causing the blue screen of death. I do not like my pc going down on me for no good reason. Well it is dry out there at the moment and I must get Amber out once I have taken my medication that is.
          Have a good day all, God bless.:wub2:

            Good morning @wiseowl, @moyra and everyone.
            Your morning sun is in WY today @wiseowl, and I am going to talk him into staying here for a while!
            Have a good day all.

                Are'nt you the happy soul. :roflol:

                Yeah, it is a blooming :mute::mute::mute: day.:whistle:

                Went to Reading for scan, I nearly needed a boat, it rained so
                hard, and the idiots on the road, speeding, taking no notice of any
                'slow down signs'. Anyhow, it seems I have a low density result, so made
                next appointment to see doctor for next week. The surgery rang
                me early yesterday to cancel the appointments with the doctor yesterday,
                she was 'off sick':thud: So managed to get a bit of a kip in the afternoon.:thumbsup:

                So today nothing doing in the garden, so I am able to complete all the
                ironing for the week. :yes: Sow some more late seeds, and catch up
                with knitting teddy.:heehee:

                I have a few things left on my 'to do' list. I have
                what I think are antiques, so I am going to photo them and email
                them to our local auction house, Thomas Plant is the auctioneer, and see
                what they can tell me about them. I have done this before, and they were
                very helpful.:):)

                Well I hope y'all make it through the rain.

                'What worked today, doesn't work today'

                :imphrt:

                Aloha everyone,

                After heavy rain and floods here yesterday we have had a dry night. The garden was the happiest I've seen it for months :hapydancsmil:. Although it's now raining again I still haven't got over the novelty of it. :)

                I was going to go out early to do shopping and get my hair cut but I think I'll wait till later for when the sun is out. Then I won't come across all the grumpy drivers :heehee:

                When I go into town fro a haircut I take the opportunity to visit a number of the salons to see a lot of my ex-staff. It's all very sociable as they're happy to see me and all their bosses appear pleased to see me as well. Their bosses should be pleased as they've now got good staff and don't have me as their competitor. :snork:

                Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

                Aloha!

                  Morning all :)

                  Another wet, blustery day so far which is a bit of a pain as I have tons to do today including a dump run, putting the new gazebo up, washing the patio, washing and polishing the car.......

                  @moyra - you are more than welcome :) Malwarebytes is a great wee program, and seems to catch most of the common malware, so hopefully all will be well with your PC now.

                  Have a great day everyone and stay dry! :coffee:

                    Thanks FC without being too over confident it does seem to have done the trick and I have also deleted an awful lot of old files too so that lightens the load on the hard drive as well.
                    Thanks again for your comments.

                      My dear @wiseowl, how terrible of me to try and persuade the sun to leave you for me when I have so much natural and man made beauty on my doorstep.
                      An imposing coastline and quaint fishing villages.
                      Dramatic Moors that are immortalised in literature.
                      Rolling Dales and the Three Peaks.
                      The Yorkshire Wolds.
                      Breath taking Minsters and stunning Castles.
                      The Yorkshire Sculpture Park and The Hepworth Wakefield.
                      Emley Moor transmitting Station, the tallest structure in the UK.
                      More Michelin star restaurants than any other County outside of London.
                      Landlord bitter.
                      Oh yes and the Lykewake Walk just to name a few.
                      And here I am trying to steal your sun, I have told it to report back to you first thing tomorrow.
                      :thumbsup:

                            the dog, is being a right pain in the bum :mute:, but at 17 I suppose he has a right to. :yawn:

                            so I have coffee, been in the conservatory, watered and debugged my plants :th scifD36:

                            OH has had a cough on his chest for the past 3 days, suggested he visited
                            the doctor, but no, he does not want to, I remind that a bank holiday
                            is coming up :whistle:

                            So off to make some toast and coffee, and am going to watch Micawber
                            on TV, as I did not get to watch first time around.

                            Ah well, :imphrt:

                              Good morning to all and touché @wiseowl, what a truly wonderful country we live in.
                              We are away to @lollimac land later this morning to spend a few days with friends on the coast near Hornsea.
                              Look after yourselves while I am away!
