Better than a chocolate fireguard I guess.  ;D

My missus once help herself to one of my 'tools' ... a 'hammer' as she called it ...to knock in pins to hang a picture frame.  >:(

I'd never heard of Dropbox until we had our house fire.

The firm who cleared our house of all it's contents took photos of everything that was in the house including individual items of clothing to a climate controlled  storage facility. All the photographs plus the manual records were on their drop box site that we were given access to for our home whilst we dealt with our insurance claim.

I briefly had my own free drop box account to copy & store the photos until our claim was settled.

The firm (appointed by our independant loss assesors) mainly dealt with flood damaged property as well as serious house fire victims. They were a brilliant firm owned by a local businessman.

Should anyone here be unfortunate enough to have a serious house fire I would highly recommend you appoint an independent loss assessor (LA) they basically take away all the pain of dealing with a house insurance company for a large claim. (Ours was around £190k plus VAT  for buiding & contents)

The Fire Service (FS) Incident Commander (who Wendy use to work with before he joined the FS) gave us advice about seeking our own LA . It was one of the best pieces of free advice I have ever been given. We were inundated with calls from a variety of firms to act as our LA. The Incident Commander gave us a business card for a Birmingham Based Charity who in turn pointed us in the right direction for appointing our own LA.

You still can't beat a seperate exterior h-drives to save important info.I use large capacity pen drives for photo's etc.

But with Dropbox you can share large files with others  ..like I am doing on here.

I change  my Broadband provider almost every time it's out of contract so I use a Gmail address & outlook to avoid the email trap.
I was a loyal customer for almost 20 years with VM but they seem unable to reward loyal customers in the long term.

Most of my internet is hard wired so little to change with Wi-Fi at home.

This is the problem with opening anything internet based and password protected. I know the providers state it is like this for our own personal security but it is a PIA especially if you use accounts that you keep logged into on a daily basis without having to go through the security steps as you do with banks etc.
I used to be with TalkTalk for TV & Broadband etc but they got greedy and the service went down the pan (and they were massivly fined by OFCOM for allowing 50,000 customers details to end up in the hands of hackers so maybe not so secure as they say they are!). My email address is still TalkTalk but the robbing sods charge me £50/year for the privilage of having a TalkTalk email address! The alternative is I get a free google email address but this will mean advising everyone who has my current email address that I have had for 20+ years I have changed provider and that will have its own problems so I'm stuck paying £50 to TalkTalk for a really bad email account!

Not as impactive for me but I had a similar issue with my free Flickr account due to a combination of loosing my old ntlworld email address and password.

In the end I gave up and opened a new account using my  new email address - lost a load of photos forever.

Life throws these curved balls at you Bryan and the older you get they come more frequently. Really feel for you mate and it goes without saying that everyone on here has benefited from your knowledge and generosity, for all the time I have been on here and on  the USA forum too. Lets hope it gets a bit better for you from now on.
 
I know you have had a financial hit with the new job and it may be a bit boring at times for you but I bet it's going to be better for your long term health .. I couldn't imagine doing any full time driving job at my age and I have always been  in awe of anyone who drives a big truck for a living....particularly with modern traffic and some of the idiots you encounter.
