News About My Website

Its not looking promising I have to say! Im a bit frazzled at the moment to be honest!

It seems that the website hosting that I was with have decided to do a dissapearing act and wont be coming back! Theres thousands of angry customers who like myself have all paid for hosting and now discovered that theyve been ripped off! I wouldnt mind but Ive been with this webhost now for 3 years and up until now the service has always been good! And now they've buggered off with my cash! At least it wasnt a humungus amount but it is the principle of the thing! Im so bloody annoyed!!

Still no use crying over spilt milk. Whats done is done.

Some good news however, the server company who sublets the reselling package to my web host has temporarily unsuspended my website accounts for 24 hours to enable me to go in and back the much needed backups! Phew! Ive not lost it all afterall so I can breathe easy on that score. Im frantically backing everything up now as I type...

On the flip side it does means I now have to find some suitable affordable alternative website hosting AND upload all of my site again! A prospect I really am not looking forward to :( I think Im going to have to be brutal and prune some of my site back and upload my favourite bits as its an awful lot of files and images!!

Never rains but it pours - more like torrential downpour!!

A Royal Visit

Yesterday the Queen came to visit us and grace us with her presence. We recieved 'The Queen' dvd of the movie starring Helen Mirren. A fantabalous movie I have to say and Helen really pulls off the very essence of her majesty! Its amazing! Not only did she look like her, she became her too! I love Helen Mirren as an actress as she never dissapoints me, each and every one of her roles are believeable and down to earth. She really gets her teeth into her characters. I read in an interview with Helen that when she was dressed as the Queen for the movie and in character noone could look at her in the eye or make eye contact with her as they were almost afraid of her! Even her own sister couldnt look at her! Theres something about the sight of the Queen that makes British people come over all peculiar apparantly!

2 Good Movies

Ive just watched 2 good movies on dvd and really recommend them.

One is Notes On A Scandal starring Judi Dench and Cate Blanchett - a fantastic drama centred around an older school teacher and a new teacher. Its brilliantly acted and twisted at the same time full of lots of twists and turns. I loved this and it was great to see a movie by 2 strong actresses who didnt need any super action special effects to make a good movie - just raw acting skills and a superb script!

The other film I watched is Little Children, starring Kate Winslet in the main role, centred around a group of adults who meet with their kids in the playgrounds. Its a fantastic hard hitting adult drama which focuses on realism and good solid acting. Its great to see Kate in another good role again which calls for her to do some serious acting! First class!

If you have the opportunity to see either movie I really recommend them!

Website & Blog Is Down

My site and blog are currently offline, apparantly the hosting service I use has been hit by a financial fraud scam by one of their users and because of this the web hosting service has temporarily been shut down while the police look into it. As a consequence myself along with all their other customers have had their sites suspended and are currently without a site :(

Hopefully the site will be back soon - Im keeping everything crossed that it will be as I dont have a lot of it backed up! Anways in the meantime Im using this blog to make entries on as a back up.

If worse comes to worse and my site doesnt come back I will have to find a new host :(
