[Thyroide Hashimoto - (Thyroidite d'ashimoto)]

Thank you for your replies. My doctor only seems to be taking notice of the TSH result and not the antibody result so I am not on any treatment yet. I am still trying to learn more on the internet but it seems a very complex subject.

[Thyroide Hashimoto - (Thyroidite d'ashimoto)]

Hi

I have been for thyroid tests and have high antibodies. Anyone else had this test and how high was your test?

I can find a lot of information on thyroid on the internet but not a lot on antibodies attacking the thyroid.

Many thanks.

[Central Heating, Oil to Wood?]

Hi Me0wp00

Thanks for your reply. I have been on the Leroy Merlin website and they only have one wood boiler which is very expensive. Could you please tell me the make of your boiler? Thanks. Steph1

[Central Heating, Oil to Wood?]

We have oil central heating and wondering whether to change to a wood boiler or an oil/wood boiler, has anyone done this? If we change from oil to wood can we use the same chimney and water pipes? Also I have googled to try and find an oil/wood boiler but couldn't find any manufacturers. I would be grateful for any advice. Thanks.

[Problem with volume on laptop]

Thanks for the link but I don't know how to access that file, I have tried a search but nothing found, as I said previously I am a novice. On my Internet Explorer page where it used to have my name it now says 'Bonjour - Identifez vous'.

[Problem with volume on laptop]

I have been messing with this all afternoon, I thought I would see if there was an update for Real Player, there was so I downloaded it. It would not play my downloaded programmes at all, message said needs more software to enable this to work, next message said there is no software for this. I then uninstalled Real Player and then installed it again and touch wood the volume seems louder. Thank you for all your help.

Next problem - Internet Explorer keeps stopping working and I can't get my messages, I am having to use Orange Gestionnaire and I can't use my favorites on this, where do all the problems come from?

[Problem with volume on laptop]

Thanks for your help but I have looked at the volume and all the sliders are at the top.

[Problem with volume on laptop]

Thanks for the replies. The volume for cd's is fine. My laptop is a Sony and only 8 months old and frankly I have had more problems with this than I ever did with my Toshiba. Internet Explorer is now blocking everything and I can't access my messages though I have to admit to being a complete novice when things go wrong.

[Problem with volume on laptop]

When I download tv programmes on to my laptop, even though the volume is on full, the sound is very faint. I download through Real Player and have to connect external speakers to hear it properly. Please can anyone help?

[Job needed..]

As I am not clairvoyant I did not know that someone had replied to the OP although I was aware that jon had perhaps a job to offer, however I did not know that the OP had now found employment.

[Job needed..]

Can't believe this thread, page 5 and no replies to the OP question. She asked a serious question and needs a serious reply!

[Vacuum Cleaner for Pet Hair]

Thanks Will, I have compared the models on the Miele website and yours is definitely the best model for me, the Cat and Dog TT5000 is no good for hard floors. I am now trying to find a company who will post to France. Thank you for your help and advice, it is most appreciated.

[Vacuum Cleaner for Pet Hair]

Thanks for all the replies. Will, I have looked on the Miele website and the 'Cat and Dog TT5000' gets excellent reviews, is this the model you have and if so did you buy it in France? Thanks.

[Vacuum Cleaner for Pet Hair]

Has anyone got a vacuum cleaner which is specifically designed for pet hair and if so do they work better than an ordinary one? I know Dyson sell one but don't want to buy one if it won't make a big difference. Thanks for any advice.

[DRIVING FROM FRANCE TO SOUTHERN SPAIN]

Hi

We did exactly the same trip and stayed at the Hotel Rice in Burgos. We were very impressed with the hotel and the restaurant and Burgos is well worth a visit. Hope this helps.
