The Computers Back and Gone Again

Well, I think this computer is cursed. We travelled down to Penrith yesterday to pick up the computer after it being away for 5 weeks.

Well, you can guess what happened. We travel up the mountain again, get home, disconnect the boys computer, plugged the main computer in and you guessed it no power. The darn thing wouldn't turn on. My DH rings the store to tell them that he's not happy about the computer not turning on now and is told, its probably the leads or the power point. He tells them that another computer was connected to all of the above 5 minutes before and all was working well.

So to cut a long story short I had to drive all the way down the mountain again and take the psycho computer back to the store. Hopefully it will back on Friday. They tried to get us a new one but unfortunately its "No deal".

On the stitching front I have a sampler that has been talking to me for awhile to do. It is called Kitty Biggs and on the weekend I unfortunately gave in and started to do her. So now I have 3 on the go. When will I learn.

My Sister flies out for Paris tomorrow and I told her to go and check out this amazing exhibition that I found on Marie Antoinette. The link is here http://www.boutiquesdemusees.fr/en/shop/special/169-marie-antoinette-exhibition.
(hopefully this works). It looks as if it could really amazing. I have already told her what I would like from the gift shop. Hopefully she will remember LOL.

  2. Hi Sandra,

    How incredibly frustrating to
    travel all that way to pick up
    the computer, drive all the way
    home and have it not work.
    These things ain't cheap, so
    you'd expect that they'd work
    and work well for a long time.
    Hope things will get sorted
    out and the correct repairs
    made soon. To me though it
    sounds like you should receive
    a completely new computer...
    gratis!

    So you've taken on a new
    project?? Lol! It's so
    hard to resist when a new
    project calls, isn't it?

    I am so eager to see what
    you've been stitching, and
    to see the new start. I
    foresee a long, picture
    laden post when you get
    things back to normal and
    lots of eager viewers.

    Isn't My Aunt's Attic a
    wonderful site?? I've been
    browsing through all the
    incredible designs and
    falling in love with just
    about every one. It's
    design lovers overload!!!

    I laughed when I read your
    comment on my blog about
    your dog making a hole in
    the lid of your washing
    machine.

    Rupert has knocked
    over the same lamp twice,
    and broken it once. And
    he and Phoebe have broken
    other knick knacks around
    the house over the years...
    the little darlings.

    I'm home alone until Sunday
    while DH has gone up to a
    friends cottage. Gotta get
    up at five am for the next
    two mornings to get to work
    by transit. Ugh!!

    Oh oh. Better say goodnight
    for now, before I ramble on
    too much. Take care.

    Cheers!
