Think I have worked it out. I was online this morning, both here and the OC, getting the directions etc. I left the site windows open and disconnected the broadband connection and left for the Gumball. I have just spoke to my Mrs and she used the laptap this afternoon so I assume when she connected to the internet both pages became live again hence the activation of the OC account. I'm sure this account would show the same, anyway of checking?
Don't like be called a ringer
