I am now sitting here kicking myself!!! I, by mistake deleted my blog!!! (I am nearly in tears!!!) What was I doing??? What was I thinking....well obviously I wasn´t thinking! (Suppose that´s what I get for mucking around on the blog while trying to make dinner! I am not a real woman!! I just can´t multi task!! )
I had been muckinig around with an idea that we had when we chatted the other Saturday night, an idea to set up a blog where we could post prayer requests etc, a sort of ATTIC re-union place....and so I went in to see what I could do. I set up a blog just to see how it would work, but I wasnt going to keep it. I went in to delete that blog and what did I do - deleted MY blog instead. As soon as I hit the button I knew! I knew I had done the wrong thing. My heart sank!
I quickly typed my blog address but it couldn´t be found. Nine months of work down the drain at the touch of one button. It was my diary....it was my family photo album. It was my thoughts....Oh I am so depressed! This is so ridiculous, if you could see me now!! You would think someone had died!
I think maybe I should just try writing a diary instead.....it´s maybe a little safer.
Ok I cant talk anymore right now I am just soooo mad at myself....
Be back later -maybe!

Dont be sad or mad. Remember a post you put on a few days ago about counting your blessings & how blessed you are? Well, no ones died, its only a blog. All your photos are still on your computer and in photo albums from when you scanned them on, dont beat yourself up about it. All youve lost is our silly ramblings and believe me, there will be plenty more of those! So aunty lisa says chin up, have a cup of hot chocolate with cream of course to make you feel better and get thinking on new ideas to fill this blog up!!
Thanks Lisa, I needed that. I was just so discouraged and I didnt feel like blogging anymore. I just kept thinking through dinner about all the things I´d lost...like the date we did this and the day we did that - stupid really... My family have been so great, I got so many hugs, they know how much I love keeping my blog up to date and Kristian reminded me to keep it going as it got me in touch with all you lovely folks again. I really treasure the friendship we have on here. So thanks Lisa. I wont give up...
Hi Laura,
Sending you huge hugs too. I was wondering what had happened this afternoon.
I'll ask Stuart to see if there's a way you can get it back, I've deleted stuff before and he's managed to retrieve it.
Not promising anything, because I don't know how these things work. But I know a bloke who does.
Will let you know.
We need to organise a night to try out the yahoo thing.
Don't give up blogging, Kristian is right, it has brought your mad ramblings back into our lives to enrich them and keep up going daily.
What??!! No blogging from Laura?!! You cant do this to us!!! We need you! Please dont go!! Dont leave us!! Without you we are nothing!!
I know there are programmes available to retreive stuff deleted off your hard drive by mistake but not sure if these would work for blog sites. Ive had a look through the blog help, it tells you how to delete the blog but not what to do if you delete by mistake. Maybe this means you cant get it back this way. I deleted all my email addresses off once & Ronnie got them back using one of those programmes so check it out. And in case I didnt make it clear........YOU CANT GIVE UP BLOGGING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Laura, are you there, I think I can help you
No Laura, you are not stupid - it's such an easy thing to do. I really hope Pauline, that Stuart will be able help, but even if he can't Laura, as Lisa says, it's only a blog! Yes it's maddening, but hey look you've got a whole new clean sheet with no one slagging you for your romantic ideas . . . yet!
Don't be like me . . . years ago I was making a cross stitch for my brother's wedding present. I had spent about 500 hours on it, and wasn't even half way - it was one of the precious moments one - anyway, it got stolen from my car, and probably ended up in a bin somewhere. I never did cross stitch again! I was so gutted that all the hundreds of hours I had put into it, was for nothing.
So girl - we need you! Don't give up, through you I feel I have made some lovely new friends, and it's just great to be in touch with you again. So give thanks for what the blogging has done already for you (and me!) and I look forward to reading your next post!
PS More hugs winging their way from Glasgow!
does anyone have lauras phone number?
I've got it Lisa - I'll email you
You plonker!!! You absolute plonker!!!! Ha ha ha. I can't believe you Laura. I was just thinking today how when I'm feeling a bit down I could go back on the blog, read all the crazy posts and cheer myself up, but thanks to you I'll have to rely on Prozac!
Fear not people, Stuart has found a couple of solutions.
Lisa, Stuart has emailed Laura what to do, so she should be able to do that and retrieve the whole blog, with pictures etc.
Laura hope you get it working again, it might take a while to upload it all, but at least it's out there in cyberspace.
What a clever husband I have.
Laura I've updated my blog - for you!
Oh you poor thing honey. I know it's disapointing. I'm sure Stuart's tips will work and you'll get it all back. Just don't give up on us! We need your daily dose of you to get us through the days!!! More hugs are coming from here. Take care and don't worry! Loads of love x
Hello all you wonderful friends. Thanks for your hugs and all your words of encouragement. You are really special people, and you have brought smiles and tears of joy to my eyes. Thanks!!
I will continue my blogging, how can I not, with friends like you all to keep in touch with.
So lets all keep posting and keep, keeping in touch.
Love you all BÍG TIME!!
P.S. Charlene you are so funny - Keep taking the prozac!!! at least until I recover my old blog from somewhere out in cyber space!! haha
Charlene & Lorriane, don't you realise that we all check out your blogs too - every day - at least 25 times and oh the bitter disappointment when there is nothing new to read. Hand over that prozac!
I reckon it was a scam to get people posting again. It has brought certain people out of the woodwork. Tee hee!!
Laura so glad it is working for you and that you have most of your posts. Look forward to hearing from you when you've recovered.
To put into perspective. The night before I had to hand in my 12,000 word dissertation for my degree, just as I was printing it out, it disappeared. This was a year's worth of work. I had saved it onto two different disks and it wouldn't come up on either of them. I was so pleased I had finished it in plenty of time as well, (about 9pm, thought I could sit down for an hour or so before going to bed). I was staying at a friends to use her computer and we just couldn't find it anywhere. About 1am (the day it had to be handed in) she had to go and wake her husband up to see what he could do. I just sat in the corner of the room shaking and crying, thinking, that was it, I was going to fail my degree if I couldn't hand in my dissertation. At 4am he found it. Don't ask me what had happened to it, I have my suspicions. Anyway, when it came back up, there were loads of different fonts and all the typing was in difference sizes too and different colours, so I had to go through the whole thing re-doing loads of it. I finally got to bed about 5 and then had to get up at 8 to go and get it bound before handing it in at 12 noon.
It totally put me off computers for ages until I met Stuart and he totally knows what he's doing. Thankfully, because I haven't the baldiest notion. Some people actually call me a computer expert these days, I've learned loads from watching him. However, those people are almost techno-phobes, so compared to them I am an expert.
Chin up and keep up with the posting.
Oh Pauline how awful for you. I can just imagine the state you were in. (I remember the state I was in and mine is just a blog!)haha
Glad you got it in the end - terrible thing to happen at the time, but hey, you have got a good story to tell. :-)
