So, the new computer was faulty. Took it back to exchange it.
They didn't have another, so it cost me a few quid to find another model.
then they didn't have one of these in stock (Curry's) so I've had to wait. After the nightmare of trying to get it set up I paid for them to do it. It was all supposed to be ready, done and dusted, on Friday......... no, it wasn't. Current situation is that I've become quite reconciled to life without the internet ( a GOOD thing) - 1066 and all that - and should be going to get an induction lesson on windows 10 and collect computer on Friday.
You know, it's quite liberating to be sans internet (but I'd miss you lot). Using a borrowed computer so may not reply. :)
I went away last weekend to an area with no wifi. It was lovely. But I must admit, as soon as I got home the internet was on quicker than I could turn on the light!
