Just done that......Can't find anything . Keep getting the same stoke number ringing as me as well , even very late last night. But that is several different people speaking the other end. (Not ringing that back incase it's one of those telemarketers/foreign ones buying a local number ).

Looks like putting the phone on silent and leaving my mobile on overnight for if son needs to get me urgently.
You should have a function in your. phone that will allow you to either block or reject numbers ... Daughter (10) had a payg mobile last Christmas & receives calls from debt collection company's & lots of ones from electric/gas company's trying to get her to change supplier at all times of the day & night! I just Google then block any unwanted numbers.

*edit, ignore all that - I didn't read the word 'landline' ! :facepalm:

Got so many blocked on my mobile . That's why I only give my mobile number out now...nice and easy to see who's calling and reject and block

Hubby once had to lie to his Korean heart consultant and say I'd lost reception when he rang straight back after me cutting him off. I'd been so sick of receiving nuisance calls that day, and as soon as I heard yet another foreign voice I cut it off . Luckily we were waiting at the doctors reception so I just cut it off that time and didn't do my usual telling them to "F***' off" :D.

We got rid of the landline because of the nuisance calls, I've had my mobile number since 1998 & rarely ever received any nuisance calls until my husband mistakenly entered my phone number instead of his on an online form...I must have about 80 numbers blocked now & probably still get at least one a day....most annoying are the 'private number' calls which they seem to use now, (daughters school phone on a private number) & lately some even manage to use a Stafford dialing code...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Had an enjoyable conversation earlier with a young Padawan about the Wars of the Stars.

We entered into a discussion about Yoda, who, of course, makes his first appearance in Episode 2 - Padawan was adamant that Yoda was in Episode 1.

Have to explain that, Episode 4 was Episode 1 - to Padawan Episode 1 is Episode 4 - .confusion sets in.

Yoda does not appear in Episode 1, which is Episode 4 - we first see him in Episode 2, which is Episode 5. 4 is 1. 5 is 2, 6 is 3, says i, 1 is 4, 2 is 5, and 3 is 6 and there is no escaping it.

More conversation, somewhere pick-a-number-between-1-and-6, then ensued, and i ended up a bit confused by the end of it all. Top banana.

Yodel have been bestowed the honor of worst courier two years on the bounce. Virgin use them for their phone deliveries. I know this cus the company foreman has been waiting 4 days over the said delivery date for a mobile phone from virgin. Im pretty sure they will be garnished with that title again for the 3rd year on the bounce.

I had good afternoon getting the shed sorted out, put a old cupboard in it to store all the painting stuff and rearranged the existing cupboards in there and chucked stuff away, I had a pile of stuff to check away but put it back in just in case i need it.

I hoping to finish off the green house tmw - I have have half cleaned the inside, I'm putting an old cupboard in there for my potting bench, all the stuff presently in a heap on the floor will go inside it and there is still room for my whicker chair.

It was quite warm outside today as long as you keep moving.
