  1. The world has gone crazy wth so many different disasters happening. My sister has witnessed the floods back home in Belgium but she and her family are safe, have been on high alert since. Bush fires are raging in large parts of USA and now in Turkey, my thoughts and prayers go out to all who are experiencing these horrific disasters - Stay Safe!

      Difficult times for sure! Adding my "stay safe everyone" also.

      Our state has had that highest infection rates and for some reason it has not encouraged many to be vaccinated. Lots of "if only we had gotten vaccinated" stories on the news. I am mystified!

  2. i had my AstraZeneca vaccine on Thursday and had symptoms yesterday, felt really achy all over , body felt hot to touch and in the afternoon I thought I was hit by a footbal iin my chest, feeling so much better today, phew! I didn't like that at all.

      Reading of your reaction makes me more hesitant as right from the start I do not really want to get the vaccine because of how I react to the flu vaccine each year which I am required to have if I want to work in Aged Care.  I hope you are now feeling back to normal.

      Oh I am so sorry you had that reaction. Still better than getting the real thing I guess. I had slight reaction to the Mederna shot but well worth the peace of mind we will have while traveling this summer.

      Please don't be put off because I had a reaction, I was ok the following day, I was advised that I could feel under weather for 24 hours. Just glad that I did get the vaccine, next one due in June.

  3. Happy belated Thanksgiving to you all, hope you had a great day!

      Thanks, Marie-Christine. It was a quiet day here for hubby and myself though we did eat a turkey dinner. :)

      This year is all a bit odd isn't it? Bristol where I live has been put in Tier 3 (highest tier) when we come out of lockdown 2nd Dec, which means no mixing indoors with other households and no private gatherings in gardens either. I hope people are going to manage this over the festive period. Restaurants, pubs, cafe's all remain closed apart from takeaways and home delivery... Christmas and my birthday is going to be a bit different this year.... a nice break from work is what I'm looking forward the most... and chill out for a while :)

      I agree it's going to be harder to celebrate holidays (and your birthday) this year. Let's hope next year will be back to a more normal life for us all. Just stay safe and healthy!

  4. I just wanted to say        Stay well everyone!  Hugs to you all from across the ocean♥️

      Thanks! We had a delightful day and, of course, I ate too much. :) 

  7. I'm having a rough time of it, I spend Sunday evening in A&E and after more tests on Monday I was diagnosed with IBD a remnant of the norovirus I had a couple of weeks ago. I've been told to rest and slowly introduce bland food again and it should settle down, does anyone else suffer from IBD?

      Oh this sounds miserable. I've had issued off and on after gallbladder surgery, but never have actually gotten a diagnosis. I find smaller meals helps and finding out through trial and error what is a trigger. Wishing you a full recovery - hang in there.

      Hope you are feeling a bit better now, Marie?  I keep thinking about you!  xo

  8. I can't believe I haven't been on the forum for 3 days, I've been a poorly girl struck down with some kind of a stomach virus, trying to scrap but energies are a bit low! Hope to be back in top form soon!

  9. Mery Christmas everyone, have a wonderful time!

  10. I'm hoping to be back up and running by the weekend, I miss my scrapping. Many thanks everyone for your support :)

      MariJ

      Good luck and I hope so too, Marie.   I miss you and your pages around here!  :)

  11. I'm back on line, not sure for how long, it took patience and determination but my computer did power up. Dell said it is definitely power supply, and present itselfs as an intermittant problem till it stops. I have sourced a replacement and copied all my presets,(brushes, styles, etc) onto my EH. All my stuff is backed up so no worries, I'm not going to switch off my pc and have switched off sleep mode so I can use it. Odd really, because when I got in work yesterday i have been given a brand new pc and we are signed up to all apps on CC, which I have to use when working from home, which is every week. :).

      So glad you’re up and working Marie, but wow, that’s some story!   I am remembering last year when I was stuck up with my foot surgery and no laptop - for sure not fun!  

    3. Mikelle

      Mikelle

      I hope it keeps working.  My laptop is pretty old at this point, and I'm a little afraid of something happening to it.  Everything is backed up, but still...

    4. Boatlady

      Boatlady

      That sounds pretty good and an easy fix.

  12. My pc has decided to STOP, nada, nothing, power supply unit has malfunctioned.  I can get a refurbished power supply unit but I don't know how reliable it is. Has anyone had similar problem and did you end up buying a new pc or just bought a new refurbished part, the part if of course a lot cheaper but is it any good, how long is a piece of string type of question.

      Are you sure it is the power supply? If so, there could be something with the board that caused the problem. Advice is from Bob, the computer guru. :-)

      Yikes that is not good. Keep us posted and I hope it works out good for you.

  21. Back up& running, my user file was messed up during a security update and had to create a new user account for windows. The next security update sorted the problem out so I deleted the additional user account  I set up two days before which apparently you shouldn't delete manually. :) I created the problem and I also fixed the problem following instructions I located from microsoft, I'm so happy.

      Oh no so sorry Marie.  It’s so frustrtating when things like that happen - hope you’re up and running soon!   Computers - I think I have a love/hate reliationship wiht them, but we sure do depend on them.   Good luck. :)

      Here in North Essex/Suffolk we've been suffering since Tuesday. Many rural areas are still cut off and schools are shut. No let-up forecast until the end of the weekend. Stay safe and indoors if you can Marie-Christine.

    3. MariJ

      MariJ

      Oh dear, so sorry Hilary.  Stay safe and warm - all of us Northern folks are sure longing for Spring.

    4. Marie-Christine

      Marie-Christine

      You too Hilary, stay safe.

      I can't resist going out in the snow, hiking that is. Love getting dressed up in wintry gear and head out,it has snowed a lot more last night and today, making walking a lot harder. it was so nice to see families out enjoying the unusual but harsh conditions.

  25. Happy New Year everyone!
