(I don't remember if I asked for that or not.)<br /> 2018 was probably auto-renewed, but the email doesn't clarify.</p> <p>I'm guessing it tried to auto-renew this year, but that failed (since they had an old card saved), and rather than actually notify <em>me</em> about it they decided to tell the person who had it 14 years ago instead.</p> <p>Had planned to move away from 123-reg after they tried charging every UK domain owner an additional £6 a year per domain for "ownership protection", but I'd forgotten about that. I'll wait a few weeks to make sure the renewal goes through fully and then transfer it to my enom account instead.</p> <div class="edit_text">EDITED: 23 Sep 2020 14:36 by BOUGHTONP</div> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42608.142&return_msg=42608.141" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42608.142"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42608_143"></a><div class="message" id="message_42608_143"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: ANT_THOMAS<span class="message_time">23 Sep 2020 14:42</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Peter (BOUGHTONP) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 23 Sep 2020 17:01"></span></span> <span class="message_count">143 of 183</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42608.143">42608.143</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42608.141#a42608_142" target="_self">42608.142</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Good reminder that I need to move some domains from 123reg.

We were encouraged to return, so people did. Now we've been told to go on a rota and not be in the office full time.<br /> <br /> When I was there I preferred to be there, when I'm at home I feel like I prefer being at home. So I guess overall I'm happy being back in the office or WFH. I think the 2 day balance worked for me.<br /> <br /> There's been a number of cases at work where people who have been in close contact with those testing positive being asked to isolate for 2 weeks. Quite a large and important team have just gone in to isolation which could be interesting (in a how do we handle that kind of way since they're a team where the majority of their work is very much on site).<br /> <br /> We've not had an "outbreak" yet, which hopefully is because our measures have been good enough. Social distancing (though plenty don't) and face coverings on at all times seem to be working. Though I bet if we mass tested all staff we'd have a load of cases.<br /> <br /> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42608.148&return_msg=42608.141" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42608.148"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42608_149"></a><div class="message" id="message_42608_149"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: milko<span class="message_time">24 Oct 2020 13:30</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: ANT_THOMAS <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 24 Oct 2020 14:46"></span></span> <span class="message_count">149 of 183</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42608.149">42608.149</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42608.141#a42608_148" target="_self">42608.148</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Our London office is gone, lease expired in September.

They're all like "want a cup of tea?" relaxed about everything and I was the weird one saying "erm, no?" and stuff. Just familiarity breeding complacency all over the place.<br /> <br /> Anyway, WFH full time still. If they close the schools it's going to be horrible, but as long as the boy's back in we're coping ok. If sport shuts down again (lol I did quite a lot of work for the rugby match not happening tomorrow in Twickenham) then we'll be back to needing furlough to stay afloat but for the time being things are almost normal on that front.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42608.149&return_msg=42608.141" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42608.149"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42608_150"></a><div class="message" id="message_42608_150"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Dave!!<span class="message_time">25 Oct 2020 14:53</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: ANT_THOMAS <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 25 Oct 2020 18:11"></span></span> <span class="message_count">150 of 183</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42608.150">42608.150</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42608.141#a42608_148" target="_self">42608.148</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Full time WFH here.
