whose home swap tenants claimed they'd secreted £1,000 in her home and then forgotten where?
Did she find it?
Refund them out of her own resources?
Claim it on her insurance?

Yes, another member of the I heart Whortleberry fan club. Thanks for being so welcoming and hospitable to me in Beijing!
That is all. ;-)
How long does it take to courier a car part from Cumbria to Marrakesh?
Bonus question: How many companies hand does it pass though, and how many airports?
I just bought one. Shouldnt have really financially but I need it.
It's lovely. Shiny and new. And Black with swrils.
Thats all I know about it though.
Is there anything I need to do? I bought Norton and Windows (excel etc).

I have an old modem (motorola sb5100e), and a shiny new apple airport express.
They're not playing nicely together. I've called my internet provider, who apparently thinks that being a girl I won't have already tried all the reset options, and they just tell me to reset and it will work. So I tried again and it doesn't.
My geek at work tells me I need to download some firmware to update the modem so I merrily google "firmware sb5100e" and get a plethora of sites and have no idea which can be trusted, which are worth paying for etc.
Help help!
(and for the Dutchies; I'm with UPC, do other internet providers suck less?)

Do you accept freebies, free gadgets, samples etc etc when it's handed out as promotion on the street, in a shop, wherever/whatever?
Me: never. it's always stuff I don't need, why clog up my house with junk, why create more waste.
But I see a lot of people always accepting these things. I'm curious to hear why you do :-D

Thank you seems so inadequate! She has kindly sent me a packet of spices to "tide me over" until Christmas. My apartment is now positively redolent with exotic scents. And you went to so much work labeling the packets!
Anything you want from here or the US? This definitely deserves more than a postcard!

I really dont want to upset anyone here but may I ask, does cancer run strongly through your life? I wonder if it is just my age but I cannot begin to tell you how many people I know with cancer right now.
My father in law - lung (asbestosis)
an old friend, mother of 3, 39 years old, brain tumour.
Next door neighbour, pancreas
sister in law, breast mother of 2, 35 years old
one friend died a couple months ago with pancreas.
There are quite a lot more in the past as well.
I always do the 5k cancer run but need to do more. It's just rife. But what exactly does one do? The cancer charities in this country at least have so much funding both privately, governmental and from fundraisers.

I've been having some pretty frustrating side effects from the low dose of the SSRI I was prescribed last year- so when they ran out last week- I just didn't get a refill. And now I'm feeling more than a bit crazy and would think I was drunk if I didn't know better. Aaah yes- the holiday meal should be interesting tomorrow. I obviously wasn't thinking clearly when I made the call to stop taking anti-depressants cold turkey.
On the bright side, It's been a week now so I'm hoping the worst of it should be over soon. And I also now know that I have clinical depression and so can focus on finding a treatment method that works for me. Wish me luck- I'm thinking I'm going to try CBT and working out on a regular basis. I have an appointment with my doc in a couple of weeks- so we'll see what she says (after she kicks my ass for not talking to her about coming off the SSRI).
I would app...

"What a lovely thing to say, JHW."
"You smell deep".
"Deep?"
"Yes, like ham. Why are you laughing?"
