Find Ancestors

More like the A* Team :-D :-D

If only we could get more people to post there requests for help then it would be perfect :-)

Jonesey tips are definitely helping to raise our profile. All of them have gone viral to varying degrees. One even went viral withing 10 minutes of posting by 5 so definitely going down well. :-D

I'll never cease to be amazed that we have 772 likes in less than 5 months.

All these screen acrobatics when posting does my head in and give me a headache. :-(

It's terrible news about your vicar and his wife car. It's little consolation that the culprit has been caught as it's still a violation. (((((Hugs))))) to them.

Jonesey would be spoilt rotten over there...........all those women!! ;-)



Toots, one can never tell whether one is going to be upside down or slipping and sliding on here nowadays........... one can also seem to be pushing through treacle too.......so slow....so many errors..... :-(


Our vicar had his car vandalised last night - it has really unsettled him and his wife. Fortunately, it seems a neighbour called the police and they caught the culprit........high as a kite on some substance or other. :-(

You have the "A" team there .... if only Jonesey ...... but he is there in spirit and tips

You're welcome StoneWall but without the rest of the team it wouldn't be as good as it is.

I'm extremely grateful to everyone who helps on the page. :-D

Toots thanks for GRA

Toots ................

no, it isn't "you"

People have been complaining for months about the screen sort of slipping upwards, and they couldn't control.


Mine started doing that a couple of weeks ago.


and it only happens on GR

Dea ...............


that's the kind of house I lived in until I was 11 ................. then we moved to a bigger house, much older and stone built, but it had a brick built extension at the back which provided a separate kitchen downstairs and a bathroom and box room upstairs. LUXURY!!!

BUT ............. the same idea ................... no CH.

Only saving grace was that some former owner had installed gas fires in the 2 biggest bedrooms.

I slept in the slip room over the front hall (and boy, was that a cold room!) until brother left home, then I inherited his bigger bedroom ............... and Dad used to slip in early on cold mornings and turn on the gas fire for me :-D


I was so used to sleeping with a heavy weight on me, that it took me years to adjust to lighter weight blankets!

As long as it's not just me :-D

Yes Sylvs - this thread has gone 'the right way up' again for me !! - I never know when I should be reading top to bottom or bottom to top :-S :-D :-D

Toots

all kinds of weird things are "normal" on this site! ;-)

Is it normal on this site for your screen to move up the page after posting? :-S

~~~~~to Jonesey, and thanks for letting us use your tips on GRA

'Nesh' ....''Fab' ...... - there are many people who would just not understand the language on here !! ;-) :-D :-D

Sylvia - that thermostat is set VERY high !! - Top temperature for us is 18 degrees - I couldn't stand it any hotter and I always have my bedroom window open all night even if it is 17 degrees below freezing !

Do you remember 'in the olden days' when you were little?

We lived in a little 2 up 2 down terrace with an outside toilet at the end of the back yard.......In the winter you had to break the ice before you could use it
:-D

The bedroom windows were always 'open' because they would not close ;-) and we didn't have many blankets so all the old coats and dad's army grey coat would be taken off the hooks on the bedroom door and put on top of the bed !

MY GOSH but they weighed a ton !! - I could hardly turn over :-D :-D :-D

Didn't wake up with a 'thick head' in the morning though ! :-D

Nesh.......what a fab expression :-)

Call me nesh if you like (The Northern and ex-Northern types amongst you will know what that means) but I have found that as I have got older I much prefer heat to cold. It is about 8C outside right now so I have just switched our central heating on.

Up until 14 years ago we lived in a house without central heating and I refused to have it installed because I knew that my wife would have it set to produce tropical heat. The irony was that when we decided to move house I had to have CH installed in order to attract a buyer.

On moving into our new house, driven by the same fear, I immediately had thermostatic radiator valves fitted to every radiator so that the temperature of each room each could be separately controlled. Nowadays my wife sets the thermostats low and I set them high again. :-D

Since the new boiler was fitted last April, we have 'remote' controls for the central heating

I do use the remote's but I never have the heating on while we are in bed.....I cannot stand a hot bedroom, it wakes me up

I've refused to have an automatic thermostat ..... OH goes along with me.

We still operate it manually ......... so the heating doesn't come on until the first person awake decides it might be time to turn it on.

We actually have 4 thermostats! One operates the main furnace. The other 3 are for individual baseboard heaters for 3 rooms that are not connected to the main system, and are only set to above than 10C in winter if anyone is using those rooms.


We set thermostats in use to just under 20C for daytime ............. that means an effective temperature of about 22.

We turn them down to about 10C at night ............ OH turns down the main thermostat when he closes up the front part of the house at about 9:30 pm. I turn down the individually controlled baseboard heater in this room when I go to bed (any time up to about 1 am).

The only time we set any of the thermostats higher is if we are in a very cold spell lasting more than a few days .......... ie, -5C or below.

We then set them to about 14 or 15C ......... it doesn't take as long to warm up to our preferred daytime heat, but the night time temperature still isn't much above 10 or 12C in the bedroom.

We always have our bedroom window open at least 2" .............. it's a sideways slider not an up-and-downer.

The kitchen window is also usually open at least that amount, as is the second bathroom window.

Our en-suite bathroom window gets closed when the temp outside is below about +4C

I get a headache faster without a window open and fresh air coming in than I do with the heating. Heating on (as in a hotel where you can't it down properly) just makes me restless.

Hi all

I prefer a cold bedroom too.......it makes you snuggle down more..... :-D



Gins.....you've probably got what my mum used to call 'brain fag' :-D :-D


Actually, mental/emotional stress and work can be as tiring as physical work - if not more so sometimes.


Go for a walk - you'll feel tons better...... :-)


Or......watch the film that's on now..............it features talking dogs......... :-S :-S

Cripes......been working all afternoon and Im still not anywhere near the end of it

Ive had enough now
