Sorry, I totally missed the fact that you were a newby when I did my other post!
So, let me now you to the most addictive site on the net....
'Abandon hope all ye who enter' here, should be displayed on the homepage really.
Anyhoo, not to worry coz they're a gr8 bunch on here, (although some are not as sane as me), and you'll find loadsa advice and the odd cause for a giggle, (always good for your health that), although not advisable to have any beverages in close proximity to your keyboard when reading some of the posts. Last thing ya want is to spill it and then you'll be right up the creak with no access available to get your daily fix on ukcs! Trust me the withdrawal symptoms are horrendous.....I shudder, even now, at the memory of my two weeks in Cornwall in July with NO internet access!!!!
We do run a friendly little, (but evergrowing), support group on here. Regular ukcs-anon meetings taking place at a pc near you if you're interested?
And I regret to say, there is a huge waiting list for my Pattented Electronic Alarm Auto-Ejection Chairs I'm afraid but there is an alternative that should keep ya going till your one arrives. All you'll need is:
to the right of you and your pc: one porta potti, (loo roll optional)
to your left: small table with electric kettle, mug, tea bags and biccies
beneath table: copious amounts of bottled water and coolbag for milk.
Also advisable to have in close proximity, a phone and various take away menus of outlets that deliver, if you or family are ever to eat again. Others on here will verify that we're so popular with our local Chinese that the drivers all have our address programmed into their Sat Nav!
Now I see that you were in the army, so personal survival skills are probably second nature to you, in which case, with all of the above, you should be fine.
My P.E.A.A.E.C. only ever malfuntioned with me when the dogs accidentally pulled the plug out of the socket, (well trained pooches), or when I 'forgot' to set the alarm-silly me!
Mind you, I am finding a few problems adapting it for use on the settee since darlin' hubby treated me to this new super dooper whoopy doo wireless lappy four weeks ago. So far only managed to propel hubby, one dog and a cushion off with it! Maybe I should take me flowery wellies off, they might be earthing me?
So, my welcome speech over, gr8 to have you aboard as 'twer.
Might see you at the next ukcs-anon meeting then eh? Remember that recognizing you have a problem is the first step to recovery.....
My name's hippy chick and I am a ukcs addict.....
