Well this would have been a blog saying how beautiful Cornwall is. We had a great time - met up with friends and the weather was much better than I expected but i was getting so stiff towards the end that I was also wanting to get home to me own bed. Boy am I in a great state now - even going to have to start on some medication again that I don't believe in in the hope that it might help - make sense of that

Ive been having terrible trouble with my puter since we got back. A whole week ago and things still arnt right but at least I managed to get back logged in to here eventually and some other places I vacate. This one was really hard and it all stems from being sentimental about an email address - it was our first one together from our first computer together. It was long and laborious for others to type out including digits just for confusion. It was great. It was a freeserve.co.uk Our first dial up account that came with the computer. Really slow but what fun we had - those were the days and nights - picking up viruses etc, etc,

Anyhow I didn't even know that Orange had taken Wannadoo. Wannadoo at least informed us of changes (apart from being taken by Orange!) and apart from a couple of times to reactivate the account (when we were no longer giving them any money) they were good.

Apparently (now this may or not be true) Darren said he couldn't even call Orange as the number was barred on our phones I'm not sure if he meant our home phone ntl or his mob O2 anyhow we couldn't re activate it.

So I sent them an email on their site(Orange) - not quite sure how I did but I did and they did respond at least saying they couldn't reactivate it unless we dialled up or got their broadband. He did give me a link and so as not to screw up I gave it to Darren to try - What happened we got our email for the whole lost week but we then lost all internet connection!

I think I'm liking my old email address less now so its days are numbered but it means I'm going to have to inform everybody of this - I know with a computer it wont be too difficult. But our Ntl email account doesn't even work so we will now have to sort that out before we can change it. We could use our Hotmail i guess temporarily.

Anyway as you can see we now also have internet connection too. So we are back on track - there were no great job offers for Darren in amoungst but he has found a bit of contract work(he got it yesterday ) to tide him over till Jan ( I was almost disappointed as I had lots of jobs for him and now they will not be done but hey ho at least we have a bread winner again and he had a whole month off holidaying so hes happy -

My lessons are learned (re:computer)I must write down all my passwords cause my memory is so rubbish and maybe I should do as Darren does and only have 1 for everything although I'm sure you're not supposed to do that - it would make things easier when stuff like this happens.

Edit to say Happy 11th Aniversary Darren - Thanks for the Doughnuts , CD & Flowers - not an oversight - hes only just come in with them and he knows I would have been just as happy with the doughnuts! - gosh this means that the forementioned email is also at least 11 years old too
