I have a blackvue and have had no issues whatsoever in the 3 years I've had. The best on the market by far. What are you experiencing?

Our deputy reckons using bells would startle/spook the intruder and could cause more issues...

We are thinking the same. The big question is how to set it up. We have one secondary, 7 primaries in our MAT. My plan is to have a log on server at each site then either have a hosted server in the cloud for data or have a server at the secondary. Luckily most of our schools are now on fttc which helps!

We do have LAN school, but that would mean every PC being on the same channel which isn't pratical. I hear what you are saying about the issues, but the deputy is having none of it...

So the deputy head has come to us wanting this wonderful plan put into action. He wants to push a coloured screen down to PC's at the click of a button. So for example, it turns a PC screen red in the event of an incident. Staff then know to evacuate or an incident is occurring. Any idea's? Doesn't have to be free software, but has to be easy to use! This is instead of sound alerts, as it one incident could be an intruder to site.

They do it yet again. Absolutely superb. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuz2ILq4UeA

I never knew this, but surely most charities have a motive of some sort? If it helps the kids, then that's what matters?

Really?! Surely it's about the kids. Someone has been looking into this a little too much. I'm the least religious person you'd ever meet. It can't be that bad, as it's really really popular.

I don't know either. I just said I was leaving, for someone else, and they said lets see what we can do.... It's all in the haggle ;-)

Lets do this. https://www.samaritans-purse.org.uk/what-we-do/operation-christmas-child/how-to-pack-a-shoebox/ Suppliers could donate items.

With plusnet for two years. First year was paying £2.50 per month. Second year I am now paying £1 per month. Telephone/Line rental and unlimited broadband (Adsl only) £12 pm. Can't argue with that. 7 mbps download, but that suits us fine.

Went for a run on Sunday morning. The first since August. Ran 7 miles. 3 on road, 4 off. Much prefer off road, in the mud. It's harder, more enjoyable and less strain on the hips!

Use a local garage. Shop around, but build a relationship with that garage. A good indy will sort you out. They all work on word of mouth, so normally will do a good honest job.

Accepted an offer on our house yesterday. £193k. Chuffed to bits. Part cash buyer. No chain. It's true when they say patience is a virtue. As stressful as it is. The hard work starts now. Finding a house for us, otherwise it will be moving in with the dreaded mother-in-law.

Well since we have reduced it yesterday, we have had 5 viewings booked in for tomorrow, the weekend and next week.

He's thinking about it, and got to work it out on his spreadsheet. In the meantime, we have three viewings booked tomorrow. I now realise why I don't move very oftern!

I've just told them I want £191k minimum. Think that's realistic. When he viewed he said it was worth £192k. That's fair imo.

It's a catch 22 situation. We are in no rush but obviously want to sell. Mr Cash Buyer made his offer around two weeks ago, so obviously likes the house. We have more viewings booked under the new price. So who knows.

I'm sorry but are ridiculous. That is clearly casper the friendly ghost.

Our house was on the market at £195k. It's been on with one estate agent, then we moved. In total it's been about 3 months. We started slowly, but now we are getting at least two to three viewings a week. We have only had one offer at £190k during this time - from Mr Cash Buyer. Anyhow, neither estate agents could realise why were weren't getting offers. So yesterday we reduced it to £190 OIEO. I was really hoping for £193k, but understand that may have been optimisitic. We have done this to hopefully increase the offers. So Mr Cash Buyer has come back and now offered £190,250. This is after two weeks, and he has an offer on another property. Now, do I accept considering we've had no offers. The Estate Agent says we should because he's in a good position. I'm undecided. We have three more viewings booked in this week. I would hope one would make an offer, as one is a second viewing (but in a chain). I just feel mr Cash Buyers 'new' offer is a bit of insult. I'm up for negotiation, but that is taking the mick. We are in no rush to move as we haven't found anywhere to move to or where we like. If we sell, we would have to move to the mother-in-law's. Gulp. Any advice would be truly appreciated.

They are 18 months and 4 years. The wife also works and we need to leave the house by half 7. I used to run in the mornings, but with getting the eldest ready for school, it's just not possible. It's a shame cos I can run 12 miles (did my last 12 mile Tough Mudder in 2 and a half hours), but need to still keep it going. I'll just jack it in and get fat.

Why did you start at one side of town and finish the other? How did you get back? I want to train for a half/full marathon, but just don't have the time currently. Can't run in the mornings as have to get the kids ready for school, then after work I pick them up. Then it's too late. Just not enough hours in the day.

As much as some don't like it, we can't fault Sophos. And at £1 per device per year, it's great value for money. https://www.phoenixs.co.uk/swgfl-sophos/
