@umyesh, highly unlikely being at the bottom of the world and its the first day of a two week school vacation period so everyone is probably using the internet. I do have a new modem to install later tonight which might help things along massively

Are you directly plugged in? I know internet is slower at the bottom of the world, so that's the only thing I can think of to help!

No, it’s a brand new set up with a different modem and all. Going to be contacting our internet provider in a minute

I can imagine!

Well....get to scrappin' gal on that speedy new laptop!!! Yea!

Yay for speedy!

@ArmyGrl, I will as soon as the 10 job applications are done!

I hope it flies by for you!

Oh this delay is 100% me now, had a few extra things going on this week so haven’t quite got the laptop sorted.

well, whatever the way, praying for you to get to a positive result <3 I need you for inspiration!!!! <3

I hope you get to scrap sooner than later!

Ugh. I'm sorry! Computer issues are the worst.

is in moments like this that I would love to be one of those billionaires...or at least have a lot more money than I do now... I would send you the money for a new one!!!!! Hugggzzzz

Did it start back up? as that was how it went with mine... blue screen and then I could start it up again.

@A-M, nope not yet at least.

Oh no! Good luck!

You are very busy. Me too, I check only now after 5 days...

good thing you are busy, girls :)

So much pretty stuff! :( Sorry it's not in your budget right now.

The good thing is that all the new products will be in the shop for a long time. :) If you don’t have the money now, throw them on your wish list!

Ended up doing a mix of buy now & wishlist. Got enough to do the BYOC challenge and the other 6 items are in my wishlist

Six challenges is still a good accomplishment! Good luck with the job application.

Good work! I think I've done three so you're way ahead of me!

Way to go!

@jesskab its either my last or 2nd last monthly challenge to do and I thought I’d found a fairly easy layout but it’s just not gelling with the photo

change the photo to b/w if the colors don't match with the photo :)

to be honest @cfile it’s probably a combination of things as to why it’s not working but I think I’ll change direction totally. Couldn’t find a kit that worked even with the photo being black & white.

No worries! Go ahead and use it now!

Don't feel sick. We should never be mad at ourselves for a hobby. Use what you like and enjoy finding it now!

@bestcee, its just the sheer amount that I've barely even used thats making me sick. Wouldn't be half as bad if I was using it regularly

I’m glad it was backed up!

I'm starting to find that happen now too. Too many Windows updates for my older version of the software to cope with. Might have to upgrade it next year ..

@Angela Toucan was totally my fault in the end....ACDSee had tried to open twice so no wonder it crashed!

That’s good you figured out the problem!

Woot!

Congrats!

That’s quite the accomplishment!

Good work!

everyone's different but i don't like just binning anything i spent time and energy on - i totally agree forcing creativity never works but parking it in Unfinished doesn't hurt and is preferential to me than starting from scratch down the track :shrug

I was wondering what happened to you! Welcome back!

@ArmyGrl nothing too major, just life and a heavier workload with grad school and job hunting at the moment.

Thanks for the good idea!

That's a great idea! And - those threads always enable me.

Maybe later in the month something new will release that you have to get! I haven't spent mine yet either.
