So Busted !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment Published at 13:4713:4716 comments16 comments40 Visits40 VisitsReport

Whoa............

Where did that week go?????

Lately I think the world is going on without me LOL, I am seeing nothing but a busy computer screen with links, letters, and tabs open everywhere!! Still loving it though   I wake at about 6.45 in between organising the boys for school, having my wake up cuppa whilst at the same time setting up all my computer tabs for the "Great Campaign" I manage to spend a couple of hours at the computer, with my endless morning cups of tea, as I start sending the letters, checking online news updates, researching blogs, keeping a cautious eye on the "others" before my morning study, showering, tidying up.............. A quick check of the time as I make sure I won't be late for work and whatever few minutes I still have left, I am back on the computer.

I arrive at Mums sometime early afternoon for the short 45 mins I have between work and collecting the boys from school where bless her..............she tops me up with tea and toast as I then take over her computer, re open all my tabs and start again!!!

All too quickly its time to collect the boys from school we drop off the other lads in the car pool, race home, all three of us wrestling for computer time, I usually win by insisting the boys change out of their uniform and arrange their homework, but once all my tabs are once again open, I do relent and let them have their time on the computer, as long as I can pop on every few minutes to send a few more letters in between fixing the evening meal.

Facebook and I have become mortal enemies!!!!!!!!!! Ade has had hackers take over his original account which means he cant access his friends as readily as normal, so I am working through his list of friends, currently standing at 3,000 updating them all on the campaign and re directing them to the groups running to support him. Facebook think I am spamming, I can see why, but I'm not I'm writing to his friends who he can't because he is locked out of his account............facebook have had 6 weeks or so to lock the account or secure his page again and have done nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!! So every few letters I get a warning to stop spamming!!!!!!!!!! GRRRRR Its so NOT spamming if I have redirecting his friends to his new page so they stop sending support messages on a wall he can't see!!!!!!!!!! I have sent out over 1500 letters in the last few weeks Phew!!!!! But its all good!!! I'm honestly enjoying it!!! I have also been posting links and messages all over facebook and twice had the ability to write on walls frozen because of excess activity, actually I find it quite funny !!!! Who would have thought I could be a rebel LOL

After dinner, I allow the boys more computer time as I do my evening 20 minute running session, by the time the clearing up is done, some time with the boys, its coming up to bedtime for Daniel at least I can usually reclaim the computer again and I am then sat at the screen till sometimes 2am if I lose all track of time. There are times when I have written his name so many times in succession that I have to slowly keep spelling it out as it no longer looks correct.............My eyes are playing big tricks on me I guess!!!

On top of all that, I am constantly on the phone to him, updating and checking things, epecially if something big happens, for instance we have managed to get several online news magazines to run our promotions, which is great..........then I make a mistake Last night I was really upset to discover that I had written to the wrong person. Ade has been great allowing me a pretty free rein with the work I have done but gave me two names he didnt want me to write to from the 3,000 as they were linked to other designers in his category, I have been vigilant in making sure I didn't miss their names, however, I had written one of the names wrongly...............by chance last night I realised my mistake and I had already written to one of them I was so gutted as I felt I had really let him down. I rang straight away, as expected he was lovely, kind and gentle, telling me reassuringly not to worry, mistakes happen, I'm guessing he could tell I was really upset, I was almost in tears and Mum will tell you I rarely give in to tears!!!................but I am worried!!!! I wanted to do this most perfect job and I know this was a big mistake. I'm so angry with myself!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only 10 days to go and the voting will be closed!!!!!!!!!! I'm excited yet at the same time terrified!!!!!!!!!!! Still, a lot can be done in ten days, I'll keep shouting!!!!!!!!!! I have a big mouth, I'm sure there are a lot more that will hear me and place their votes yet

And.......................why am I busted?????????????????

Chatting on the phone yesterday, Ade told me he had put a search engine on B E F F T A news and guess what he found...............my blog regarding Sunday!!!!!!!!! So he read it I was saying how embarrassing, so you know about my poor feet...............yes he did!!!!!! But fortunately he also thought it was a great blog and showed it to several of his church friends and the Pastor to show them just how much the boys and I loved the church

Its a good job I have nothing but good to say about him!!!!!!! LOL

Please if you haven't voted already, could you place a vote for him..............pretty pretty please

THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU

Hi sweet!

Just caught up on nearly a months worth of news. I've been so caught up in my assignments that I've been completely in my own head.  How's Thomas doing? Hope things are doing much better.  Poor Daniel.  I'm glad you're fighting for him and that the school is finally taking some action!  hope its all good!

When are you on holidays? It must be soon! 

Congratulations on how the campaign's going!  I can see you changing career into a publicist one day!!

Thinking of you heaps sweetie, and still have my fingers crossed for February.  Haven't got to meet with the head of the school yet - it got put  back for a couple of weeks, so now it'll be the 15th of October.  Fingers crossed it will all be good.

Take care - thinking of you all heaps!!

Love,
Leith

Re: So Busted !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Phew exhausted just reading how busy you are, can tell in your writing just how much pleasure and enjoyment you have had doing this for Ade.....he could have no-one better than you  doing all this for him.

I do hope in amongst all your activities that you that a wee bit of time out just for you, though.

Book finished hey, don't forget my signed copy...I agree with Kathryn maybe some pubicity of your own might be the way to go.

Love Janice

Re: So Busted !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, you're so busy! How do you keep up this level of activity? You must be running on pure adrenelin. Make sure you have something lined up when voting ends so you dont deflate too fast. How about that book - hows it going?

I keep telling him I will need a new assignment LOL I've really enjoyed myself over the last few weeks

As for the book, its all but written, sent it to a few people, they like it and compliment the writing style but don't feel it has a big enough market????????? Oh well, I feel fine about it either way

That's a pity about the book. Perhaps you need to do some publicity about it like you have for this vote LOL! Generate a market!
