I'm Still Here...
It's been the week from Hell here so I'm sorry I've not posted for a while! A brief resume of disasters as follows..
* My digital camera has stopped working (so no pictures today) - I use this a lot for work and aswell as not being able to alter the focus settings, I can't access the pictures on the memory card because it's stopped talking to my computer.
* I phoned the B&B I'm stopping at in London next week to confirm my booking (made 6 months ago) to find that they have let my room to someone else. It has taken me over 3 hours to find an alternative. As it turns out, this one is closer to where I need to be, is cheaper, but doesn't have it's own loo and bathroom.
* Another vital bit of kit needed for next week stopped working when I tested it this morning - a replacement is being sent by courier for Monday morning.
* Whilst tidying up the other day I managed to suck one of my lace projects halfway up the vacuum cleaner. I have managed to salvage it without damaging it but it came off the needles and I now have to pick up 190 stitches.
* One of the cats managed to be sick all over my dry cleaning (after I had collected it) - bet you're glad the camera is not working!!
* We bought a new printer, installed it only to find that it doesn't work. We have a new one on it's way, but have had to fight tooth and nail to get it replaced. Trading Standards were mentioned in the process of negotiations - amazing what a difference it makes once they realise that you are serious and not going to budge!
* This one is tough - Dave has been diagnosed as having Skin Cancer. He is having the affected areas removed in a couple of weeks time and we will have to wait until the Histology reports come back to see where we go next. The consultant is confident that it is the non-malignant type, but won't say for sure. Until we get the results back we are just getting by as best we can.
I'm going to go and sit in a darkened room and 'wibble' for a few moments.
Next week is going to be better!

I wouldn't blame you if you wibbled like a crazy woman Gill.All will be well ,it never rains but it pours . God bless, angie x
Next week will be better, you'll get to meet some mad knitters and talk woolly things, I'll be the one with a name badge on upside down so I can tell what my name is easy ;-)
Hope all the rest work themselves out and Dave is ok...
When you said "the week from hell" you weren't kidding, boy, hope you're managing to remain zen-ly calm despite all. Enjoy next week! xx
Redefines the week from hell really. Oh, Gill. All the best to everyone...
My thoughts from the west side of the "big pond" are with you right now. Here's hoping for better days and good news.
Anne.
Thinking of you and Dave. Wibbling sounds mild after a weak like that.
