Really. I don't blame them in any way. The spawn - aka my siblings - being the 'them' in question.

It's just that somehow in the three days that I am *not* on the family computer, it manages to get well and truly whacked by various Trojans, Worms, viruses... etc etc. Lord knows where they were taking the poor browser, but when I found said comp. oddly vacant and sat down to catch-up, the computer flatly refused to run without crashing and trying to kill us with pop-ups.

So. That's my job for today. Trying to save the computer. Oh the fun. The joy.

**snarl**

Regarding other more cheerful news. Milton Keynes is a mere 45 minute bus ride from my house. So I am clinging to that small thread of silver lining. But until then, I better vacate this borrowed link and return to the front line...

Squee! You live near Milton Keynes - you lucky lucky thing. Ponders nearest airport to Oxford. Also ponders when Mayday holiday will be. Hmm.

You are a very good girl for not opening your pressies. Wish I could say the same... I love the tea - mmm just finished a cup as we sat down to make the traditional Christmas cookies. The conductor's baton was soooooooo cool - Katie loved it!

The book is brilliant! Meow! (which is 'cat' for thank you).

Hope you get the comp sorted - wag your finger at the siblings from me. I've just finished the Winter of Wes story and I was desperately hoping you'd beta - but don't worry if the comp is still sick.

If I don't hear from you before Santa arrives - have a very merry Christmas and I'll speak to you in the New Year.

*huggles and snuggles to you and yours*

Next time I come over I can beat up the spawn...I mean your wonderful siblings!

Yes I think there's a train that goes to Milton Keynes quite easily so hopefully there shouldn't be a problem running around everywhere!

I know the feeling as I'm also my family's computer superhero.

Maybe you can get them to use a different browser once you clean things up?
