Yes... I'm having withdrawal symptoms... but it's not serious.... it's only because for the last 5 days we've been without phone / wifi / internet services... this last week the UK has been battered by strong gale force winds... and the house, where i'm working is surrounded by trees, and the cable was damaged by some tree branches .... but as we speak there is a tree surgeon cutting back the branches to free up the cable... and hopefully ... we will have wifi again ...
I dont spend much time 'online' but the little that I do ... I have missed, like being on here for example.... I have some catching up to do and responding to comments on my last post... and a couple of new posts to put up... apart from this one ... lol

Hope your wifi gets fixed and you can get back online. I'm from a generation that grew up without internet etc and now I don't see how we can live without it

I hope all is restored soon. The wind and trees together can be a real problem.

I really hate it when I have no internet connection, I am quite addicted.

I find that I accomplish a lot more when I disconnect. In two weeks I'll be Very limited in my internet access....for at least a week. Will I be missed?

I can imagine your pain! We do get used to having internet don't we? I get a bit 'don't know what to do with myself' if the internet goes down.

Sorry you lost phone, wifi and Internet, because of strong winds! Our electricity was out, off and on, for about a week. I thought we were doomed, for sure. LOL Your dog's photo is adorable:)

I'm on internet almost constantly, so this would be hard for me. I hope they fix it soon.
