I'm not saying it's their fault...
Dec. 24th, 2004 01:26 pmReally. 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...

Date: 2004-12-24 06:12 am (UTC)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*

*hugs*
And a very Merry Christmas! to you too =)
