Well totally ticked off here in South Wales... Last Monday overnight, my lovely little Welsh Valley had a power cut, followed by my computer receiving a nice big power surge which totally fried my computer and wiped my Hard Drive - can you say "ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

 

Ok so, a couple of hundred pounds and 1 week later (kudos to Andrew in Ammanford "Computers don't Byte" on getting me back online so quickly!!) and here I am again.

 

Very sad that I lost all my personal stuff (pictures, videos) from my hard drive.

 

I was told after this by a friend of a thing called an "Anti-surge plug" - I so wish I had known of those last Sunday!!! Anyway, I have been and bought one and it is now protecting my new computer from any future power surges, but to any of you peeps out there like me "Your learning as you go along with computers and the internet" - so your not a "Techy" then if you do not have one of these, please, please rush out and get one, mine cost £15.99 and as we approach the winter season there is more likelihood of power cuts and surges and that could happen anytime, even during the day when your sat on it.

 

Happy computing everyone, I am very pleased to be back online and also very pleased that I uploaded a lot of my pictures here, phew!!!
