proper update: we're in and on, heh

Back broken and covered in bruises - have worked faster than a striped ass ape, as they say back home, for 4 days so far.  Ah the new house ROCKS. Close to everything, so nice inside, am so happy. So very happy. Could squee, really. Will take pics when it's all de-boxed. Living room still looks like a bomb went off...

Virgin promise they'll mend the landline tomorrow - we'll see.

They also owe me about 60 minutes worth of refunds for calling 0800 and 0845 numbers on my orange mobile - at 35p/min, that's ouchie! Gotta send them my orange bill when i get it, they'll give it back to me on the virgin bill etc. Meh. And the remote doesn't work with the brand new set top box they sent me. Typical Telewest really. Er i mean Virgin, yeah that's it.

Gawd i missed teh intarwebs - taking care of biz on my nokia just wasn't the same. I mean, i could post and email and stuff, but typing took so long, so utterly very long even with predictive text. Still, loving my N95, though the web app eats the memory up til you have to reboot after about 15 mins. Must look into opera mini when i get time.

Glad to be back. If you posted anything important in the last 5 days that you want me to see, link it. There's no way i can read my f-list back 5 days, it'll break my brain, never mind taking a week to do :/

Good luck with Virgin. I'm with them too and we had no end of grief when we moved flats. Mind you, that was back when they were Telewest so things have probably improved since then.

Yes, it's easy to take the internet for granted, but when you can't get on it it feels like you've lost an appendage!

Good to have you back! :)

Thanks sweetie :)

Yeah, the net is like my third hand, oh yes. Don't know how i get on without that and the unlimited landline calls with 'Talk Unlimited' or whatever Virgin are calling it now that they aren't telewest any more...

I noticed the new tx box is all branded Virgin and stuff - makes me wish i hadn't gotten rid of the tv service and therefore our telewest box last year, might've become a collectors item! (for the centres of dart boards, more like)...

i think i need a hug icon. Yes. Just for you :)

We've still got an ancient Telewest box. I expect it'll explode any day now.

Awwwww. You can't go and make a hug icon just for me! That's silly!

Our cable modem is 7.5 years old - we got it in may 2000. God knows why/how it still works.

Yikes, it's an antique!

Now that you've mentioned it, it'll definitely explode!
