Here I am!

Everything is falling down around my ears at home.
A power cut on Monday morning knocked out the modem. Before I've always just called TalkTalk and they've reset it. This time it didn't work. The support staff was amazed when I read out the serial number - it is no longer under warranty. Quel surprise, we got it in 2007. So I contacted Mum (for permission) and my bro (for advice) and they signed us up for another year and are sending us another "router". Which will arrive in 5-10 working days.

As well as that my phone battery died. Mum and I share a charger, after I managed to hoover mine up. Our shared charger is therefore in Lanzarote.

So I couldn't access Dana's mobile number from my mobile. I couldn't access anyone else's number from my Contact Details folder on the Cellar. And I couldn't let any other Dwellars know via email either!!! I have addresses saved in a Word document, but that's it.

I can't access from work as it is an educational environment. Hotmail, the Cellar, eBay etc are barred.

And now the boiler has packed up too.
So no heating and no hot water. Grrrr. It's more an inconvenience than a real problem, but it's the one I can't solve and the one that will stress the 'rents out most when they get home.

I'm at my bro's at the moment. Wonder of wonders he has an old charger I can use, so my phone is on charge as I type.
And I've requisitioned his PC for at least a couple hours.

Hello!
