Oh, ffs!

[lexin]

No sooner is my broadband mended than I fall down the stairs at the flat* and sprain my ankle. I was going in to work tomorrow, but will now work from home instead.

* I was taking my dead printer to put it out for the council to dispose of under the terms of the WEEE directive. Thus proving no good deed goes unpunished.

Oh, poor you!

[lexin]

It seems to be one damn thing after another at the moment. Thanks!

[doire]

I do hope your luck turns soon.

My man is walking very gingerly at the moment having finally lummoxed too many old monitors to the recycling and tweaked his back.

[lexin]

Thank you! I hope your partner's back gets better soon, too!

[raincitygirl]

Oh, for Pete's sake. Like you didn't have enough to deal with. And right before Christmas, to boot.

[lexin]

I know! Even putting the chicken in the fridge for the weekend was a major effort.

[hunningham]

Ouch! Don't you have enough to deal with (still I'm glad your broadband is back - having the internet connection out over Christmas sounds worse than having no heating)

[lexin]

That's pretty much what I thought.

Oh dear! Do take care...

(Can't read comments to your LJ copy of this, as my O2 dongle has decided that it's a Dangerous Place and I must be protected against the Insidious Poisons you might be posting there...)

[lexin]

I'm taking as much care as I can...if only I'd taken more care before falling down stairs.

Is it since the Russians started updating LJ, or was it like that before?

[aunty_marion]

No, this is something O2 have instituted. Must Protect The Kiddies, you know. The only way to get around it is to have a credit card (which I don't) to do it online, or visit an O2 shop & prove your age there - last time I managed to get into a shop with proof of the dongle's 'phone number', the 'system was down', and the staff seemed completely unable to do it by phone. And now of course it's Christmas and I have very little chance of getting to the O2 shop in Swansea tomorrow even assuming it's open. I've raised a protesting e-mail, which I suspect will not be answered till next week and will superciliously tell me to try at a shop again...

I suspect you have your LJ marked as 'adult content', which is what's doing it. Goodness knows how many other people's LJs this will affect for me - I won't know till I try. Oddly, there are other pages that are perfectly OK! (Like, for instance, the Snupin Santa site...)
