damn viruses >:(

I'm still here :) The last few days have been alot better. I haven't been able to update my journal or read my fav's because my brand new computer got stung with the 'msblast' virus. I've spent the last two days (with the help of my cousin) trying to rid myself of it. It's a nasty one. Apparently it doesn't come through emails or websites just comes through with an internet connection. It apparently randomly chooses ISP addresses and fires off attacks every 20 seconds and when it finds an active ISP address it installs itself and starts sending out random attacks from that computer. It's apparently the biggest virus attack ever!! I hadn't been able to load my Norton's onto my new computer because of technical difficulties and while I wasn't protected I got stung. Murphy's law huh? :) Lucky thing is it is removable and doesn't really do any long term damage ... just annoying.

With my computer being out of action for the last couple of days has put me way behind in work, but things could be worse. At least that keeps my brain busy and stops me getting bored.

I didn't manage to get to ww last night (the first meeting I have missed since I started in January). We were doing all the formalities for our house sale (solicitor and real estate agent stuff)

My eating has been pretty good (sticking to around 18-19pts per day) although I haven't physically tracked (just mentally calculated it up) But my exercise has been virtually nil since we got here. Could be worse. I'll be back to my ww meeting next wednesday. My wedding rings still feel pretty lose so can't have done too badly.

Thanks for everyone's support!! It's fantastic to have such a strong support structure on here. You guys are awesome! I'm not going anywhere... I will have bad days .. but ultimately it won't stop me reaching my goal!

I got through my tax refund today of $905!! wahoo!! That will go to paying off my business overdraft and give me a couple of extra hundred to go into the house fund. Big load off my shoulders!

Loving my new computer!! I have gone with Windows XP this time and it's fantastic! No way near as bad as everyone warned me it would be. I haven't had to update any programmes. Just my norton's has given me a few hassles but still fixable. Very much worth it!

Well early night for me I think. Kids are all sick at the moment still so that has warn me out. So far (touch wood) I'm still healthy :)
