Evening all
Buttercup - glad to hear Amber is totally better now
Steve - sorry to hear about Lucas - hope he gets well quickly.
DD2 had flu about 3 or 4 weeks ago - well I wasn't sure as she's only 14 mths so not sure if she was achy but she seemed to be, she had a v high temp and was being sick etc. I did take her to the GP in the end as after 5 days her temp was still v high despite meds (up to 40 degrees at night) - it didn't cross my mind that it may be swine flu - GP said it was probably just viral
Well I couldn't get on here last night or today as my laptop has died

(now on DH's). It started taking ages to load up Windows and then started taking ages to load up Internet Explorer etc so yesterday am when it was just 'hanging' I turned it off at the power button (did try alt, control, delete first). Then when I went to switch back on just kept coming up with a black screen saying one of the system files was missing or had been corrupted!!!

Could it be a virus? I do have antivirus software but I know that doesn't always stop it! It said to restore Windows via the software disc - so I tried all last night and it said it couldn't repair the problem. So today I've taken it to a computer shop nearby - bit dubious about it tbh as the man looked v shifty

I explained that I'm not too bothered about the data on there other than all my photos - going back right to DD1 being born! Yikes! I had backed them onto CD but hadn't done it since Sept 08 so there are loads on there I would lose if they can't get them off before doing a system restore

I'm gutted - really hoping it doesn't come to that - photos like DD2's first bday and many more special ones - serves me right - if sorted I'm off to buy a portable back up thingy!!
So, in all not a great day. Did have a nice weather day today though so we went to the park with DD1's friend and her brother - it's a huge park with water sprays so they were all dashing in and out of those

Heavens have just opened here and we've had a thunder storm - being brewing all day though!
