I should hopefully be getting mine soon, it was originally booked for Saturday the 11th but Mum made me cancel to when her and Dad have theirs.

My laptop has died, so my attendence will be a bit spotty for a while.

Luckily, #1 son had a flash drive with repair tool on it. I've had to install a replacement version of windows, but I am back on for now.

Yay! What would this place be like without you? I dread to think!

I assume it was a software not a hardware issue? Is it quite an old laptop?

Windows is known to be a pain to run on older systems, that's why I pretty much gave up on PC gaming when I got the OG Xbox for Christmas in 2002.

I will be replacing my laptop next year, as it won't upgrade to Win 11. Some small issues to resolve, but should be OK for now.

Just when you thought it was safe...your wi-fi router goes on strike.

Sometimes you just can't catch a break.

Post by **Ojisama** » 15 Oct 2025, 19:34

Had the wi-fi back up for about 30 mins. #2 son assures me it will be up permanently very soon.

We are back on the net.

Router is in the bin as it seems to have completely given up the ghost.

Some good news for a change.

#2 son had an interview today for a temp job over Christmas. Looks like he was successful, so I will have some spare money in my November pay.

Well done, I could do with something like that myself, they keep rejecting me though because for various reasons I can't work evenings or weekends which are pretty much mandatory in shop work.

All good! Just waiting for a start date.

Early to bed tonight as I have the Open shift tomorrow. When I get back I will be finishing my Halloween Display for this year.

If you're nice to me, maybe I'll post some pics.
