  • AcerV5-121 amd c-70 and Wifi connection?

    Had this for 6 days and for all that time i've had issue's with Wifi connection. When i switch laptop on it says its connected to my wifi yet when i try to go to a webpage it comes up saying " no connection " even though the bar shows i am connected. I have to restart the computer for it to actually work..in effect switch laptop on, then off, then back on again, surely i shouldn't have to do this? Anyone know why its not connecting first time?

  • what is this burning pain in my thigh and calf?

    A month ago i woke one morning with Sciatica. Doc prescribed co codamol, ammytripoline and ibuprofen, 2 days later i went to A&E in hope that they would give me a shot in the butt or something ( i was in agony ) but they ust changed my meds to tramadol, diclofenac and told me to continue with the ammytriptoline and co codamol. A few days after that i had a massage and she definately loosened the nerve as the spasms stopped and walking became a lot easier. I have now stopped the Tramadol and ammytriptoline and have gone back to ibuprofen rather than the Diclofenac.

    The 2 little toes on the leg (Right) are numb and a stripe right down the back of my leg is also numb. When i walk or stand for more than a few minutes my thigh and calf start to burn and i have to sit down. When i'm rested its as if i have constant cramp. I've had Physio and do the exercises religiously but its just not helping. I'm a busy mum of 3 and i've been practically confined to the house for a month now. Is this still the Sciatic nerve trapped? or have i got some new problem possibly? Got doctor again later in the week. I'm sure she's sick of the sight of me.

  • Right calf numbness and cramp in thigh?

    2 weeks ago i started suffering with bad Sciatic pain, the doctor prescribed co codamol, ibuprofen and amitryptoline a few days later the pain was still pretty intense so i took myself up the local A&E, 2 hours later i seen the doctor on duty who prescribed Tramadol and Diclofenac and told me to drop the ibuprofen. I had a massage at the weekend which has helped massively with the pain, but now i have a constant cramp feeling in my thigh, my calf and half of my foot is numb including the 2 smallest toes. i'm in pain but now its constant rather than the shooting spasm pain, i dunno whats worse! I'm seeing a physiotherapist tomorrow but wondering if this is something i should be concerned about right now? as in get to hospital or wait..

  • do i have a ccj or not?

    I am 1 month away from the debt being statute barred. Today i received a letter from a DCA saying i have 7 days to pay or they are taking it to court, so i had a look online and found that i would have had to had filled in forms if they had taken me to court before now. I haven't filled in anything or spoken to any DCA's in the past 6 years, so what is the likelyhood that in fact i have no ccj's and can actually say that i can "forget" about the debt? As far as i'm aware statute barred means they can no longer chase me for money?

  • if i haven't acknowledged a debt in 6 years will it now be written off?

    We recently moved house and have had a letter in from a tracing company. The only debt i can think of is this one from over 6 years ago. We have never acknowledged that we owe this money, never spoken to collectors on the phone ( caller i.d ) never responded to any letters and not once have we had a knock on the door. It was an unsecured loan. About 6 months after we stopped paying a letter came through with apparent court papers and payment slips, we never received a letter prior to this saying we had court on such and such date and the court was in the midlands ( we live down south ) since that letter and court paper/payment slips we have heard nothing more from the court which makes me think it was an attempt at scare tactics, only letters from various doorstep collectors. Surely if we had a county court judgement against us and we haven't payed all this time they'd have had the courts bailiffs at our door? i'm so confused now.

  • why have my fish died?

    The tank is a mature set up, been functioning for over a year now. Stock had died off over past year apart from 2 Botia's and a Danio. The Danio fancied itself as a bit of a shark and attacked all other fish we added a few months back so we decided to wait till he left us before restocking (other fish doing well and good in another tank) We bought 2 Swordtails, 4 Rummy nose tetra's and a Betta. Floated bag, added water then netted and added to tank and left light off and left them alone for 3 hours. The 4 Rummy nose died within those 3 hours, one of the swordtails died less than 24 hours later and the other swordtail died through the night roughly 36 hours after entering the tank. The Betta is still doing ok. The transit time from shop to home is 5 mins. The pet shop did add some De stress stuff? something with Aloe vera which is something i've never seen done so wondering if maybe they did something wrong and this is whats killed my fish?

  • my dog keeps scrounging?

    She is a rescue dog, been with us for 4 years and never went near bins before i had a new baby ( 9 months ago. Now she is in the kitchen bin, bin in the sitting room, jumping up to the table and more frighteningly the baby's highchair ( not when baby is in it yet ) yet her food bowl ALWAYS has food in it, i don't throw much food stuffs away just the wrappers but i find loads in her bed numerous times a day, and today she managed to get a chocolate bar one of the kids had put down for a minute, she didn't get to eat it but we had to throw it as she's had her mouth round it. Have just found the empty chocolate wrapping where she's had it out of the bin. How can i stop her from doing this, is there a way?

  • can debt collection agencies contact our neighbours for information?

    One of our neighbours has just been round after receiving a call asking if my husband still lived at our address, he stated his name ( we do not know this person ) and said he was just wondering if my husband was still at this address, he did not leave a contact number just said he was from 2S in glasgow, having googled 2S i cannot find if it is a debt agency. Obviously i do not like the thought of someone ringing my neighbours for our info, and i'm now fretting that he has rang more. Surely if it is a debt agency then they are in breach of data protection or at least some sort of harrassment laws?

  • Anyone know what could be causing my back pain?

    3 weeks ago i got up from the sofa to go to bed and felt a bit stiff, next morning i couldn't stand. My legs just couldn't seem to bear the weight of my upper body and when i did get upright my legs just went from under me. 3 weeks on i'm still getting pain and walking like i should have a zimmer frame in front of me!! i've been to the doctor ( 2 weeks ago ) who prescribed co codamol....its not working, tried hot and cold pads, doing the excercises doc gave me but still i'm in pain, siezing up and legs giving way. Right leg is the worst and at times is numb. Never had back ache like this. Any ideas anyone? P.s pain is in lower back/buttock, middle and not spreading anywhere other than the right leg.

  • How do i make sure no more snails come back in my fishtank?

    the tank has been empty of fish for 3 months, ( water has remained in tank due to me having a baby and just not having the time to empty it) today i finally emptied the tank. However i still have snails in the empty tank, what do i wash the tank glass inside, the gravel, ornaments and plastic plants in to ensure no return of snails? I plan to house the fish from another tank in there so that i can do a deep clean in their tank.....can i just put 3/4 of their ''dirty'' water and their filter in my freshly deep cleaned tank ( once i've done it ) and 1/4 of fresh water or should i wait and cycle the fresh tank??? sometimes i wonder why i start these things...lol. may thanks in advance
