1) photobucket: Had an email earlier this week from Photobucket warning me that I have less than 3GB of bandwidth left on my account. WTF? *sighs* I checked again this morning and it's now at 8.6/10GB used. How the hell does that happen. I know with the free account it resets to zero at the end of my month's cycle, but I think that at the rate it seems to be disappearing I won't make it to the end of the cycle before it exceeds the limit, so I'm probably going to have to pay to upgrade to a Pro account or have everything on paper_packages replaced with "Photobucket Bandwidth Exceeded" icons for a while - which sucks and I don't want that to happen. Is this purely down to people hotlinking??

{ Thanks to the lovely and amazing mrs_leary I now have Photobucket Pro account - thank you so much sweetie ♥ }

2) visits & trips: purplella and surfer_buoy were here Sunday night on a stopover and will be back next week sometime on their way home - it was so lovely to see them again after so long and all being well, I'll be going to spend a few days with them in Devon sometime in November =) Sadly dazzlebug is no longer able to come stay as she's just managed to get herself a flat after months of looking - which is of course wonderful news for her and very exciting - but I'm sad she's not coming and am hopeful she can maybe make it another time instead =)

{ And as for Expo - for various reasons (which mostly include self-confidence!fail) - I decided a couple of weeks ago that I wasn't going to go. So, yeah. Maybe next time... }

3) scan & stuff: Scan went okay - didn't find anything obvious like a cyst or anything and I have another GP follow-up appointment next Tuesday to see what happens next. Still feeling like crap a lot of the time, still having ridiculously frequent (and completely awful) periods and still having to take time off work sick when it's happening which I absolutely hate doing. I really hate this.

4) thank you: Thanks to el1ie for the very thoughtful card/gift she sent me last weekend - it was lovely sweetie and I hope you got my PM ♥

Thanks to to mrs_leary who recently pimped paper_packages - it's lovely to see someone doing that and always such a surprise to me - makes me smile and is extremely flattering so thank you so much hon ♥

5) catch up: I've been a bit awol the last few days so will do my best to catch up a bit now if I can but if I missed anything important, please just poke me and let me know =)

Hope you're all doing okay ♥

*hugs muchly*
