Is it plugged in?

I just spent 40 minutes getting more and more annoyed with my ISP/Computer not being able to get online. I was using it fine and then all of a sudden it just stopped working, that’s not too uncommon as it does it now and then for a few minutes, so I went to make and eat some food expecting to come back and see it fixed.

Nope, still offline.

So I tried accessing my router — wouldn’t let me. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling the network, nada. Tried 100 other things, including frantically calling my other half to ask if he had any suggestions and finally I worked it out…I’d only gone and accidentally pulled the bloody cable out.

Idiot.

Rule number One if something stops working, check that it’s plugged in lol

How old? Too old!

I can’t believe that it is September already, summer has now been and gone and the run up to Christmas and winter (my absolute favourite season) begins. This year has really flown by! Mind you, all years seem to really fly by these days — I was thinking about my upcoming birthday in March the other day, wondering if I should do something special as it was my 30th, or just hide away and wait for it to pass.

Then I thought to myself; “Wait a minute, is it my 30th??”

I took me a good few minutes to rack my brain and do some maths, and come to the conclusion that no, it isn’t my 30th next, I am only 28 now making me 29 next.

You know you are over the hill when you can’t even remember how old you are

Who is Toria?

So you wanna know about me, right? Well, my birth name is Victoria – but only my mother calls me that when I am in trouble. I tend to go by Starlet online. My friends and family call me Viki. My other half calls me Toria and the kid from over the road who used to pick on me as a child calls me Pudding – so any of those will do, although I’d prefer it if you didn’t opt for the pudding one.

I am 28 years old, born March 20th 1980, making me a Pisces.

I am engaged to be married to my boyfriend of 5 and a half years whom I actually met online back in 1999!

I live in the north of sunny old England.

I have no pets.

I am a night owl who doesn’t keep the usual hours, 9 to 5 would kill me.

I am employed as a…well…it’s kinda complicated to explain, but let’s just say I earn my daily bread online – and no, contrary to what 99% of people assume when I say that, I am not a porn star.

And that, is basically me. Hopefully we’ll get to know each other better in the coming weeks, months and years.
