Just to let you all know I'm *really* excited to see what you come up with for my little stories!

Also - the important thing: I'm currently limited in the amount of time I'm online by dint of the fact I'm using my local library's computers to get that access. So if I'm a little slow in replying to emails or comments that's why!

Good luck!

Why is it, on the days when I have something really important to do, my access to t'internet is patchy to say the least?

I'm trying to download all the nominated fics in this round of the White Knight Awards so that I can start making a decision on a judge's choice. (Obviously my fic isn't included in that!) and every single page is taking forever to open.

And... I apparently decided it would be a brilliant idea to close nominations on the day that I can't get access because the library's closed. *shakes head* so... nominations will actually remain open until Thursday lunchtime (UK time) when the library opens again.

*sighs*

I really need to get access at home again...

I should really use a Xander icon but I'm still recovering from the tenseness that was Andy's match last night so to celebrate I'm using my Murray icon.

So I'm in the local library, mostly because I volunteered to post the news for spnfencentral today since Wench is elsewhere, and, after posting the news, I clicked on my username to go to my journal to say thank you to everyone for the comments to my last entry only... my journal's blocked for inappropriate content. My flist doesn't seem to be but since I'm running out of time here I can't actually check through very mych (*pouts*) so...

Thank you all!

Also, still not online save for *very* sporadic times, so please link me to things I miss?

Thank you muchly!

I miss you all, far more than I can say.

Firstly *hugs you all*

I MISS YOU!!!

Secondly, I have cancelled my broadband account because it's kinda useless without a phone line. So I'm still not online at all except when I'm at other people's houses like I am tonight. So, please don't be shy, if there's something I should see - news, fic, graphics, *anything* - please drop me a link here?

Seriously, don't be shy. Link me!

I just got notification that my broadband will be discontinued because my phone line has had a "cancellation order (also known as a PSTN cease)" out in it.

So I guess I won't have email at home then either.

I've been trying to email my phone company all day today but with no luck, I'm guessing it's because a direct debit hasn't gone through, but it'd be nice if they'd told me they were going to cut me off before they did it.

Still have my mobile if you need me.

one - I've already hit my download limit on my broadband for this month. I've only been online again since Thursday... ooops! (I've changed my package to increase it, should take effect soon!)

two - I am never having kids of my own. I've just come from an afternoon of being Madam Hooch at my nephew's Harry Potter birthday party. It was so much fun and my sister is going down in the annals of this village as being incredibly clever and thoughtful and innovative when it comes to planning kid's parties (seriously, I bitch about her a lot but she is good at this). My nephew had fun, I spent about three hours blowing up balloons with toy dinosaurs in them Dragon's Eggs and tidying up after 40 hyper 5 year olds.

I am now going for a long hot bath, complete with a glass of wine (I think I deserve it!) and an evening's worth of chilling.

(Good point is I've discovered that my long purple dress that I never wear because it's a dress actually works really well with my biker boots and green cloak as a witch's outfit. Speaking of outfits... have the Asylum party themes been announced yet?)

So something's up with my webmail access to my moments-lost email account and it seems to have... been deleted. The admin @ moments-lost.co.uk one is still active (and that's the point of contact for all the sites (INAP, DX, BX, FX, Sineya and others) but the shona @ moments-lost one is gone. And for some reason I can't set it up again. I have contacted my hosting company (who were great but who now... kinda suck, I may be moving hosts sooner than I anticipated) but what with my lack of access at home, I don't know when/if it'll be fixed. I haven't been able to set up any new moments-lost email accounts at all and there's something seriously screwy there.

So... if you have been using shona @ moments-lost.co.uk to contact me, or it's in your address book, then I haven't gotten any of your emails since last Friday.

Please update your contact with the following email address:

shona [at] salt-and-burn.co.uk

Or if you use my Gmail account, that works too.

Sorry about this!

(Since I am the point of contact for all of the sites and I know there are people not on my flist who check my LJ from time to time, I'm leaving this unflocked, but not making the email address a link in a (probably vain) attempt to avoid spam.

And today's post! I have an appointment to speak to a financial advisor at lunch today, so of course I managed to sleep in and pulled on the first clothes I could lay my hands on. So I'm going to go talk to this guy about how I need to restructure my debts and I'm wearing washed out jeans, boots and a navy hoodie. Yeah... that makes a great impression really! I'm also absolutely knackered, have really dark rings under my eyes and since I'm now brunette again (dyed it yesterday) they're all the more obvious. This guy is going to take one look at me and say "yeah right..." and show me the door. I would!

You guys rock by the way - thank you so much for coming through so quickly for me on Saturday! (Sis is online, but it's dial up and on the slowest computer in the world, so I got to check about an hour after I made the phone post - thank you all again!)

I feel like I want to write again today but am kinda drawing a blank on what to do. I have the 'Terminal Cindy' idea that frogfarm gave me in my head, and the Alec & Ben* idea that x5vale inspired on Friday, plus I have the fic_variations prompts for August to do, but... none of it's really inspiring me today. Too many other things on my mind I guess!

Anyways... I should go do some actual work or... maybe I could catch up on the ol' flist whilst I'm online? *g*

* that's Alec and Ben, not Alec/Ben, because that would just hurt my brain...

So I'm going to be offline for the next two days. Not because I've got anything exciting to do, but because my sister deliberately forgot to make a call I'd asked her to make (and which she'd agreed to do) and I no longer have 'net access in the house. *woe*

If anything exciting happens over the weekend please link me?

inapadmin people? There's a question in the latest post over there for you.

See you all on Monday!
