We did a bit of clearing out of my office yesterday. What a mess! We put an old printer and a scanner/Fax/printer on Freecycle. Getting them out was a problem. My computer is on a computer desk in the corner of my office between a row of cupboards and the wall, with very little space to manoeuvre.

To disconnect the machines I needed to pull out the desk to get to all the spaghetti behind the computer. There are three, five gang, adapters behind there and loads of cables and wires. There's not enough room to pull the desk out properly because everything else is still connected and their leads don't stretch far enough. Mrs Shiney had to squeeze through to get behind the desk and then we had to trace the wires, undo the ties that were holding them in some semblance of order, untangle them, remove the cables, redo the ties and push everything back.

Years of dust had accumulated behind and under the equipment so it was a dirty job cleaning up.

There was also a phone to remove that had been connected through the router as my internet service came with a free phone line. It was free for ten years but they've just started charging for it. So it is no longer required.

I've also fitted in some new phones that intercept all calls unless I've already put the callers' numbers into the phone memory. It has a lot of other facilities but, in its basic mode, it will intercept all calls not listed, ask them who they are (without the phone having rung) and then ring me and tell me who's calling. I then get the option to accept the call, accept it and have the number put into the 'allowed' list, have the call go to answerphone, hang up or have their phone number barred. If I pick the last option they will be told their number is blocked.

At any time I can change the category they're in. If they don't give a reply to the phone's question they don't get put through. If they do give a name and we don't answer the phone (if we're out or eating) then they'll be put through to the answerphone.

I've got those phones on both mine and Mrs Shiney's lines. We have two phones on each line at a total cost of £80. Well worth it - particularly as my previous answerphone was packing up.

Keep well and have a great day

Aloha!
