how long for ... don't know that for sure ... until DH does something else to the puta ...
This isn't going to have the same effect really typed up like this ... I did take a pic, but actually can't find it atm.
M.
Don't turn computer on.
There is a problem.
SORRY. Babe.
Now I have a pic of said note which was taped to one hard drive last Tuesday when I got home from work.
A whole week without internet access at home ... how sad is that?!?!?!?!
Now it was different when we moved house, I knew that I wouldn't have access until things were set up. It was different when we were on holiday, cos other things got in the way of being on the computer ... cos like, you are on holiday - funny that!
But this was way different ... having no computer/internet access cos DH was playing around in areas that he had no right to play. Well fair enough he was downloading a newer version of Explorer [or something] ... but when all was said and done, something happened and he LOST everything.
I'm sure that I had major heart palpitations, something that I can do without, just quietly. All I kept thinking of was the photos ... why the photos??? Cos I was pretty sure that they hadn't been backed up since we moved house and wasn't sure how long before we moved house that a back up had been made.
I had reason for concern here people. I was NOT a happy camper.
But to cut a long story short, a work colleague of mine found said photos on Wednesday night, so a big thank you Martin ... good on ya mate.
Deep sigh of relief here, happy dance, whatever you want to call it, I was doing it ... I was absolutely stoked when he found them. I was told that there was in excess of 11,000 pics downloaded ... ummmmmmmm ... I'm also told that's quite a few.
On the shopping list in the next week or two ... one of those portable drive thingymajigs that you use just for photo storage and it's going to be all MINE!!!! Now I've been told that it isn't a fool-proof method ... but I'm thinking I'm going to be a little happier with another back up storage option and can you blame me ... NOPE!!!!!
So anyway, this is short and sweet, cos I've got some serious blog reading to be done.
So if you have been wondering why Mrs Frizz has been a little on the quiet side lately ... she was off line. But hey, that didn't mean to say that you couldn't send me any messages now ... cos you could have and that's all I will say on the subject.
Later people.
M
P.S. so I guess I'm woo hooting early ... again ... sorry angel!!! It's not Wednesday, but who knows, I might get to blog again on Wednesday ... if DH keeps his mitts off - LOL.

its the photos that would have gotten to me, so well done Martin? Hope things are sorted proto and you can remain online.
I had been wondering about you ... glad you are back, and that your photos are safe!
My hard drive was friend a while back and the computer fix-it guy said he thought everything would be lost ... but lo & behold they were able to find & save it all. But after that I tried to be stricter about burning discs with my photos on. I've gotten slack again lately - thanks for the reminder to BACK UP!
Welcome back - hope you can stay!
Welcome back. I think you may just have reminded us all to look at our photos and do something about them.
Yep - hope you get to stay! AN external hard drive is the way to go. I had my own wee scare last year and we back up often. although in saying that, I think it's been a couple of weeks. ".....Hubbbbbby..!"
Here I was just thinking you must be flat out, and too busy to get to your online world...so did you buy that Martin a beer LOL!
Husbands!! Mine wiped out my entire profile a few years back and I lost all my files ... not impressed I tell you. Hee hee - At least your's calls you a babe :-) (had to grin at that).
Welcome back. :)
OMG photos would be the worst thing of all to lose off the computer; what a relief, and YAY Martin!
[I had all my photos up to the age of 28 stolen in a burglary 12 years ago. The burglars took a cabinet and they were inside it. It was devastating because I can't replace them. I don't care about material stuff, just photos and the people in them]
Your back up plan is a brilliant idea. :)
Nice to see you back blogging Michelle. That's one thing that scares me about having my photos on the computer. Hope to read all about your Whoo Hoot Wednesday tomorrow. :)
