I am pretty much housebound anyway,so no hardship here,but if i do get it its probable all over with.

Good thing is that i dont have to worry about mobility scooter for a while

Worrying thing is that my son has just been told to self isolate for 2 weeks as he works at high risk site.

Finaly got it refunded today,What a palaver though

I purchased 2 Hitachi 3tb hard drives @£49.50 each from Amazon on 28 February 2020.
Received them next day in one package.
Both were faulty so started Amazon return.
Returned them in same packaging they were sent in.
Got refund for 1 but they cant find other one?(Sent in same package).
Customer support tells me that i should have sent them separately & they cant refund on now missing  drive.
So i am now £49.50 down which i can ill afford.
Anyone have any ideas on what to do.

Got refund ok.

Motion activated sprinkler,should have dye in it really.

Just got message that they are going to refund & dont want it returned.

We shall see

Nobody seems to  have thought of this.

Ordered a hard drive off Ebay,took over a week to arrive & is obviously faulty,just click Doesnt show on pc or with EaseUS Partition Master.Messaged seller,got strange response.

Just ordered a Synology ds218j,May need some advice setting it up please cobra.

Had a railing put down my front garden path as my balance is bad

It is so cold to the touch,is there a pint or something that would stop the cold a bit

If i hadnt had stroke i would be ok,but cant drive Till docs say so,& son has hurt his back & cant get in car so cant drive me.

Cant even walk to bus stop,but would struggle getting on & off anyway.

Thank Derren but already got a car through them & you cant have both

I urgently need a mobility scooter as i am not allowed to drive after ny stroke.

Trapped in house at moment,can only walk short distance with a stick as my balance is gone.Also cos of heart problems.

My son was driving me to doctors etc but he has done his back in opening a cardboard box & cant get in the car.

I have no money,struggling like everyone else to pay the bills so cant afford taxi etc.

Someone suggested crowd funding but no idea how to go about it.

Scooter hire firms have turned me down cos of low income.

Never felt so down & helpless in my life.

Thanx Fonz,managed to get

The original Juke was a hugely successful car - as it offered tough off-roader style looks and a high driving position, in an affordable, compact shell - but rather than being intimidated by the army of rivals it has inspired, Nissan has resisted the temptation to give the new model a radically different look.

The features that so delighted buyers of the old model – its funky, crossover looks, squat rear, swollen wheelarches and dramatic-looking lights – have been retained and enhanced on the all-new Juke.

However, so there’s no confusing the two, the new model addresses its predecessor’s weak spots by growing in size and being roomier inside. In fact, to free up that space it’s 35mm wider and 75mm longer. The growth spurt, though, has been greatest between the wheels – called the wheelbase – where it’s a substantial 105mm longer.

Doing this has allowed the designers to give the new Juke more interior space, especially for rear seat passengers to the extent that they now enjoy 58mm of extra knee room. There’s also 11mm of additional headroom. The good work continues at the tailgate which is now 131mm wider and which opens on to a boot that is, at 422 litres, 68 litres bigger than before. All of this makes the Juke a far more viable only car, especially for families.

At least from launch, choosing which engine you prefer is simple: there’s only one. It’s a thoroughly contemporary, three-cylinder, one-litre turbocharged petrol producing 117hp, driving the front wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox. It’s shared with the Nissan Micra and is just a bit more powerful than the old turbocharged 1.2-litre petrol unit in the outgoing model but is claimed to be more efficient. In any case, it has less weight to lug around, with the new Juke weighing 23kg less than the old model.

As before, there’s an optional automatic gearbox. It’s a dual-clutch transmission that promises to be much better than the noisy and at times frustrating 'CVT' system in the old Juke. It should be popular.

Like the old model, the new Juke aims to offer buyers as many styling choices as possible. There are no fewer than 11 exterior colours to choose from, while the wheels range in size from 16 to 19 inches. The interior is funky looking in design and higher spec trims allow buyers to choose from three colours – orange, white and black – with plush leather and Alcantara upholstery available.

An 8.0-inch touchscreen media system is standard from Acenta grade upwards while some versions will also have a seven-inch display screen for the dials. The NissanConnect app allows drivers to connect with the car remotely via their smartphone.

Driver assistance was a major feature of the old model and the new one develops the theme with new features such as Nissan ProPILOT offering autonomous steering, braking and accelerator control on motorway-style roads.
