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*

On the one hand it's good the scan was clear but on the other hand I'd rather they found something straight away so they could get it fixed quicker. Oh well...

I said pretty much exactly the same thing to deans_babe today - that they're not going to the Expo as they're off on a little private holiday together - and funnily enough my other thought was that Bradley is off to join Colin in Scotland for his filming, but I think that's because I read a fic like that recently... which I now can't find, dammit.

But yeah - clearly it's highly suspicious (and Deb agreed) that neither of them are going =)

well, in my own little bradley/colin verse, colin asks bradley to come along to scotland because he doesn't want to go through a long separation like the year before, and since bradley doesn't have anything better to do, he agrees [or at least that's the reason he tells colin because he can't admit that he'd be missing colin too much].

i read that fic, too! it was really wonderful. i think i added it to my memories.

It's just highly dubious to me that they're neither of them attending and open to much speculation - and yes, your reasoning is sound I think and I wholeheartedly agree =)

If you find the link could you let me know as it's really annoying me now why I didn't save it, I really thought I had...

thanks! i have this whole story worked out in my head, and i will write it once rl is less busy. in a way, i think it's good that only katie and angel are there because hopefully they'll get to talk more this way :)

sure! part 1: http://community.livejournal.com/merlinrpf/81493.html and part 2: http://community.livejournal.com/merlinrpf/82105.html.
