We've got a lot of catching up to do Ed, but that's nigh on impossible to try I should think. We need Adam to give a summary of what's been going on with everyone.
Linda has done just that and it was very helpful.
Sorry.
I just don't feel like my old self and don't come around as often.
Besides, I very seldom have anything to share that's of any interest.

Can you show me what the wires run too?
Hi Dan, I found some pics on google of my device. Thanks I really appreciate your help. The instruction manual that came with it is terrible. But I also think that I might need to get one of those multiple connection points. Something like this maybe.

This is what the picture on the thermostat looks like:

I have the white wiring which was connected to the power plug coonected to no. 3 and 4. Then the sensor wiring connected to no. 5 and 6. And then the CHE wire (I had to cut off the two prong plug and then take the Blue wire and connect it to No 1 and the brown wire to no. 2 (on my device no 1 is marked as L and no. 2 is marked as N) Then I took another piece of white wire and connected from no. 3 to 1 and from 4 to 2. This had the CHE coming on and heating up, but then it kept on tripping my plugs. So I am not sure if it was because I connected it wrong or if it was using to much power. Should I get another blue and brown wire and connect them to no. 2 to 4 (Brown) and then 1 to 3 (Blue wiring)?

The Website has the following info on it, I hope you can understand it:

When I tried to change the differential to 01.00 instead of the factory setting of 05.00 that is when it started tripping my plug. The reason why I tried changing the differntial was because when the temp reached 32C (which is what I set as max - it carried on climbing past it.) I set the Min at 27C

I hope this all makes sense to you.

Again - thank you, thank you, thank you for your help. Sorry for the long post!

You are always interesting, or you can do what Yvonne does and just say Hi. Although we have been getting menu's from Yvonne lately. ;)

So for Ed and Lyn's benefit I will try to recap as much as I can remember

I have hurt my back quite badly unfortunately, but am slowly recovering and trying not to let ot stop me doing things.

@Bee62 Sabine is still around and back from her trip. Her sheep have had lambs :)

Of those less frequently in here of late...

@Moozillion Bea has had terrible problems with Jacques who tried to drown herself and has had repeated health problems ever since

@Tidgy's Dad Adam is taking a break and getting some work done

@johnandjade John hasn't been around for quite a while, we hope he's OK

@Kristoff Lena is settled in Denmark and may end up in Canada

@Linhdan Nguyen managed to pop in recently after a long break

@meech008 hasn't been around for a while... how are you?

And some newer members to introduce you to:

@Laura1412 Laura (who Lyn may not have met; she is in the UK too) has had dreadful back problems as well

@DE42 Dan is an Aviation Engineering student

@Dipa is in India

@CarolM Carol is in drought-struck Cape Town, South Africa

@JSWallace (who Lyn may not have met) Jane is in Derbyshire, UK and has been absent for a few months too... how are you?



I have suddenly realised the danger that I have missed someone :( Please don't take offnce if I have missed you out from the list
You are sweet for introducing us
I hope that your recovery is going ok

I am back from my PTSD session. I am nowhere near as exhausted as I was last week. Old memories are already becoming just that rather than stuff I stress about.

He wants to take me into pain management and looking forward on the next session
That is really great news. I am so glad it is working for you.

I've had two now and I feel slightly better. But the issue still remains.
I'll either need a third ablation or receive a pacemaker.
Wonderful.
Aiyeee, the Members in the CDR are not doing well with their health lately. I really hope it gets even more better, than just slightly better, soon.

Hi there everyone! Now things have settled down with my house and I finally have a landline a reliable laptop (have my nephew's on indefinite loan) and internet connection sorted, thought I'd just say hello on this fine UK bank holiday. I'm still alive and kicking and hope you are all well and that your torts are thriving. This is a banned website in work so haven't even been able to access the forum there - but we can use facebook - very strange, although I have occasionally had a quick peek in the CDR when I've popped to my sisters but couldn't log in and hog their pc. I've missed popping in but hopefully normal service should soon be resumed.
I see you are still on your travels, @JoesMum Hope to catch up with you and everyone else all soon.
TTFN.
Hello, Lyn, lovely to see you back. :):<3:
You have lots to catch up on, but i'm sure you will be brought up to speed by the Roommates.
I am taking one of my little breaks from the forum but shall return shortly, one supposes.
I hope Lola has been enjoying your wonderful bank holiday weather.
Thunderstorms and rain here. :(
Your last message was the day before I returned to the Cold Dark Room last year, so I hope i didn't scare you off.
Take care and hope to speak soon.
Love,
Adam .:<3:

Yes, Ed!!! I very seldom have anything to add to the conversation, but I truly enjoy reading everyone's posts, and Just make some sort of comment to let everyone know I'm still here. You are a very interesting person, and we love having you here.
