Just a disclaimer that this is a boringly pants update but I felt I should do one...

1) We launched merlin_sceneit this weekend so feel free to go check it out and join if you think you'll find it useful =)

2) Got to chat on the phone for a little while on Saturday with mrs_leary who's helping me set-up/sort out my website domain and email. Just waiting for everything to get sorted but hopefully soon I can start the process of switching everything over to a different email and all that. Scared as I was - you should know what a wuss I am by now - it was so, so lovely talking to her and she has been a huge help so far ♥ I can't wait to get this all sorted and although it might take me a little while to change everything over, it's going to be a huge relief when everything is finally in place.

3) Thanks so much to sue91 for the lovely postcard you sent me from Wales - I've honestly never seen anyone fit that much information onto a postcard before! And huge thanks to to the lovely nimielle for the package of goodies which arrived last week - see the yummies here:



4) The Timetable of Doom is slowly but surely sucking my will to live. Would be okay of they didn't keep changing stuff and giving me wrong information - or at least very unclear information. Times I've had to start over now = 3. 3 frickin times. *sighs* I don't think I should talk any more about it really - easier to retain the facade of calm I've got going on if I don't, and I'd probably only rant on in a regrettable manner. (although on a sidenote, they're currently playing White Lines in the session next door to my office, which is one of my all-time favourite songs, so that's helping a bit.)

5) Am helping to maintain my inner calm by iconning a lot - which is nice seeing as how I kind of lost the ability to do that for a short while. Spent all evening yesterday working on a batch I started last week and weirdly enough I'm so, so pleased with them - which really isn't a good sign as last time I was this happy about a batch I ended up feeling really disappointed when I actually got round to posting them! Whatever - am enjoying this batch regardless =)

That's all.

*hugs*

Hey there, sweetness!
(2) Only too glad to help. I'm sure we'll get this all sorted out soon.
(5) Looking forward to seeing the new batch! I'm sure it will gorgeous. ♥♥♥

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Hey you =)

Can't wait to get it sorted, really can't - thanks so, so much for all your help so far, can't tell you how much I appreciate it ♥

Also - want to go read your new mini-fic but the filters at my work computer tell me I can't - I'm sure you know what message I'm getting! - so will have to wait till I get home =)

*hugs*

1/ YAY! :D
2/ She's a gem! ❤ I'm glad she's able to help you! :)
5/ Oh, can't wait! \0/

*cuddles*

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

She is a love and I'm so happy she offered =)

Pimpage seems to be going well, doesn't it?! Any news on bradleycolin affiliation yet?

I got a little Bradley fixated with this batch which I hope will make you smile =)

*hugs*

[gealach-ros.livejournal.com]

Not yet cos there's a little confusion about the affiliates in general (at the moment only 3 affiliates are listed in the profile but bradleycolin has affiliated with a few more comms, probably just a mistake when the profile layout was changed some time ago). I have to wait for a response from faydako who's in charge of the affiliates. Asap I'll hear something new I'll let you know.

ANYTHING BRADLEY FIXATED WILL MAKE ME SMILE. I'M QUITE BRADLEY FIXATED MYSELF.
Just in case anyone hasn't realised that yet. :P

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

I'm wondering if maybe you were sending hidden subliminal meesages in your emails last week which forced me to fixate on making Bradley icons! =)

I need to refocus on the adorable Colin!

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

1) Yayayayaya! I pimped over at gwenmorganabbc tonight.

3) Yum food!

4) Here has coffee! *slide cuppa long black with hot milk* Mmmmm

5) The icon I am using is a subtle reminder. *nodnod*

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

That icon still makes me giggle even though I made it - and I'm still saying it to Peter constantly just to wind him up =)

*is an awesome sister*

NO! No more caffeine! Some people here are supposed to be limiting me to 2 caffeinated cups a day and they are failing - hence I'm all jittery and hyper =P

*hugs*

[adelagia.livejournal.com]

4) *sends you strength*
5) YAY! Your icons are always brilliant.

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

I just accidentally does myself up with more caffeine - meant to choose decaff and pressed the wrong button - so I'm too hyper to care much right now! Hoping to get this damn thing finished early next week - barring any more nasty surprises obviously...

Thanks so much, that's really sweet =)

[nicole9514.livejournal.com]

**HUGS**

i'm sure your icons will be lovely hon :)

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

*hugs*

Loved your Primeval icons =) I still haven't watched the last episode yet as my TV hasn't been working!

[nicole9514.livejournal.com]

that's the only one we have left to watch as well, probably tonight :)

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

I shall miss this crazy cracky show and hope they renew it for another series =)

[nimielle.livejournal.com]

I am glad you got help with the webspace! I don't really know much about that so I wouldn't have been of any help at all.

Wooh :D I am sooo glad you liked what I sent! I hope you enjoy how it tastes as well.

re the time-table thing, I am sending you good thoughts, happy vibes and good kharma, you can do it!!

Looking forward to seeing your new icons!

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

My package is wonderful - I'm going to have to hide the noodles from Peter or eat them before he manages to find them *lol* Thanks so much hon, it really made me smile and it's lovely *HUGS*

I'm finishing early today so am off home soon, then won't be working on the ToD till Friday as I have a couple of days off - hopefully a couple of days away from it will give me the energy I need to finish the damn thing!

*hugs*

[kimberweeme.livejournal.com]

I think I owe you icon comments? I kept neglecting my flist and I think an icon post or two slipped through. Sooooooon!

I want to reach into the screen and help myself to a cookie there. Chocolate chunk. Om nom nom!

*hugsyhugsyhugs*

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Aw! Whenever you like and only if you want to - though I do adore your comments as they're always so detailed and useful =)

Y'know, did you already add your address here and if not, would you mind adding it? All flist-locked and screend so you don't need to worry - plus I'm not a stalker or anything - honestly don't have the energy for it =) then maybe someday I can actually send you a genuine cookie!

*hugs*

[from-the-corner.livejournal.com]

Once again - yay for merlin_sceneit!
I'll pimp it in my LJ :) Do you plan to have some banners?

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Banners would be great at some point but you know how crap I am at them *lol* so I was thinking of maybe asking the comm members - when it's all set up and stuff - if they'd like to do it. Maybe.

Thanks for using that lovely Colin/Merlin icon - made me smile a lot =)

[from-the-corner.livejournal.com]

It's not a bad idea. I'm sure a lot of people would love to contribute something to the com.

[lilithilien.livejournal.com]

Noooo! They can't go changing shit on you like that! *staples them down*

But I have faith that you'll trudge on through. And I'm so looking forward to your new icons! (And one of these days I need to revamp all my iconage and rotate in some new ones, it's been a while! But that will not be today!)

I'm so glad that scene_it's going well for you!

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

They can't go changing shit on you like that!

I know, right?! Though honestly, I'm calmer doing this one - for some unfathomable reason - than I have been doing any of the others. Weird. Still, I won't get it finished till early next week (that's the plan anyway) so there's alwyas time for a spectacular meltdown I suppose =)

I've no idea what that comm you've linked to is! *lmao* but thanks hon, it does seem to be gathering lots of members which is a good start =)

*hugs*

*tries to find an appropriately matching icon... *

[lilithilien.livejournal.com]

*is an idiot*

Do not even make me think, it's beyond me today apparently. It feels like Monday again!

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Aw, it's fine!

*hugs*

[lilithilien.livejournal.com]

*hugs back tight*

Totally unrelated, I just found out that someone I loved just died. I ... I kinda feel like I just got hit by a truck.

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Oh hon, I am so, so sorry =/ *hugs tight* If you need anything, you know where I am x

[lilithilien.livejournal.com]

You're a love, thank you. I'm just going to bawl my eyes out for a bit. *hugs more*

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

That's a good and healthy plan - if you need anything later you know where I am ♥

[dazzlebug.livejournal.com]

Glad to hear things are working out and you're doing well--I certainly don't envy the ToD though! *hugs you heffa tight*

I LOVE the default icon for merlin_sceneit so much!!!

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Well that's because I shamelessly styled it on your spn_sceneit one as I couldn't come up with anything better as yours were so wonderful =)

[dazzlebug.livejournal.com]

Oh pshhhhh! Shush you ♥

*hugs you and then runs away*

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Tis true. They were extremely sucky so my lack of imagination led me there =)

*hugs*

[vita-candeo.livejournal.com]

Mmm, that package looks good! *hugs*

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

I know!

*hugs*

[valika56.livejournal.com]

1. Yay!
2. It was so nice of her. I'm looking forward you new website.:)
3. Yummy!
5. Creative iconning - awesome!
*hugs you*

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

I doubt I'll be setting the actual website up for a while yet, as I'm not really sure what to use it for, but I really need the new emails so I can't wait till it's all ready to go - and yeah, she's been incredible, she's a wonderful, lovely person =)

Hope to get the new batch posted today over at paper_packages if I ever stop fiddling with it!

*hugs*
