I'd sent a message to Chefs yesterday about the order not going through via PP, and got a reply this morning from Rhiannon that she didn't know why, but could take my order over the phone.

I tried to place it via PP again - 'Error', so then I placed a small order with fasttech and paid via PP ..no problem, so went back and tried again with Chefs - 'Error'. So it has to be a problem between PP and their site.

I phoned and told Rhiannon this and she said she'd get it checked out. She took my order and promised it would be despatched today (I'm almost out of White Velvet, and I like it)!

I just checked my account/orders, and it's marked 'Despatched'! :thumb: Now it's up to RM!

DSL drops are normally down to external influences,
Eldest son called in late afternoon, and we were talking about what could cause it - went through and eliminated a few possibilities, he crawled under the desk and checked wires weren't affecting each other, so based on the fact that the problem started with the arrival of the new TV and Sky Box, we've disabled the Wi-Fi so that they cannot communicate with the connection.

Fingers crossed that everything stays free of drops for a few days (we can live without downloading, and no updates to the appliances for a few days won't hurt at all). Any recording will need to be done via the TV/Sky remote though as I usually do that online.

Who knows - I may yet get a drop tonight or in the next couple of days.
In either case, I'll probably get the new router as the current one has been on constantly for over two years now.

Did she get PP to bill you or did you have to pay with card

She took the details over the phone.

Apparently this isn't a widespread thing, so perhaps something in their set-up doesn't like my AV all of a sudden (Kaspersky) - whatever, I tried five times and tried three different CC's and debit cards!

Sorry, didn't realise you having problems paying with CC etc., as well, thought it was just PP, companies can actually get PP to send you an invoice to pay, all the company needs is your PP email address.

No, just three cards associated with PP - one my debit card, one husbands, and one credit card which I use for more expensive items as they're then covered all ways. Usually, it's just a debit card that I use, but this time I tried them all, so the problem isn't with me :)

Well, I did get a drop, at 23.41, and I hadn't noticed it until half an hour after it happened ...and that had possibly coincided with when my husband switched the TV etc. off.
I'll leave the Wi-Fi disabled for now and see what happens tonight ..and check it when he switches that TV etc off.

:thumbs: Mine is in Nanjing, normally goes Huizhon, then Tianjin and Beijing, so surprised it has got so close at the 1st hop.

Ah! I only have my debit card set as the backup for PP, normally just comes straight out of my Bank Account as a direct debit.

Of course! - and I realise one of the three is actually the bank account associated with it, not an actual card! :laugh: I use that the most because it's a joint account with my husband first named, and the accountants don't get his bank statements, only the joint account with me first named. As a result, there's less to go through and less scrutiny on my personal life ...the other two are a debit & credit card associated with my account and rarely used.

Just had another funny glitch with Chefs - wanted to buy a bottle of concentrate I just saw newly listed, plus another I'd had in mind, but if I put one item in the basket, it dropped out as soon as I went to another page to put another item in!
So, I opened it in Chrome, and it works fine.
I had this happen once before - must be an issue with IE11 and perhaps my AV.

Don't like IE, that's why my first choice is 64bit Chrome, then 64 bit Pale Moon (a secure Firefox based browser), then IE if all else fails (Micro$oft updates etc).

I don't usually have a problem with IE, but now and then something crops up - I keep Chrome for when such things happen, but don't like it as much as IE.

Ordered some juice from HiggyCigs in Atlanta,yesterday evening.
Reviews watched and they sound great.
There is a 30% off code on the site at the moment, and you get Higgy bucks for registering and subscribing to their news letter.
The juice is a good price anyway.
But i got a total credit of $18.80 and shipping was $12.83,so covered that, plus $6 off the juice.
Ordered 64ml of Nillanutz and 64ml of Peachtree street.(for some reason 64 and 128ml are their bottle sizes)
128ml of liquid shipped for £24 odd.
If they get in under the radar,even better:sneaky:

A lot of choice ..customisable too! I'm in the process of trying to choose a handful of 20ml bottles to try some. Hard to pick which already! :)

You can also suggest a flavour/mix and if Higgy(i think is a lady)likes the idea,she will produce it.

Any notion of why it's taken so long?
