Check-In Post September 5th 2022

[badly_knitted]

Hello to all members, and welcome to our regular daily check-in post. Just leave a comment below to let us know how your current projects are progressing, or even if they're not.

Checking in is NOT compulsory, check in as often or as seldom as you want, this community isn't about pressure it's about encouragement, motivation, and support. Crafting is meant to be fun, and what's more fun than sharing achievements and seeing the wonderful things everyone else is creating?

There may also occasionally be questions, but again you don't have to answer them, they're just a way of getting to know each other a bit better.


I AM HAVING MAJOR COMPUTER ISSUES, MY COMPUTER HAS PACKED UP AND I'M ON A BARELY WORKING OLD LAPTOP. NOT SURE IF CHECK-INS WILL BE POSSIBLE EVERY DAY, HAVING TROUBLE DOING ANYTHING ON HERE INCLUDING LOGGING IN. SO I'M STRUGGLING, DOING THE BEST I CAN.


If anyone has any questions of their own about the community, or suggestions for tags, questions to be asked on the check-in posts, or if anyone is interested in playing check-in host for a week here on the community, which would entail putting up the daily check-in posts and responding to comments, go to the Questions & Suggestions post and leave a comment.

I now declare this Check-In OPEN!

Like I said above, my computer has gone caput. I don't know what to do, I'm completely stuck.

Did get some work done in the garden, but right now the only thing on my mind is that I don't have a usable computer, no way of getting one, and no way to get help because my fried who fixes my computer lost his phone and is miles away, out of contact. Really stressed because my life revolves around my computer, it's my contact with the world. Can't even turn it off, and this ancient laptop barely turns on. I have writing I need to do, posting to do, and I can't do a thing.

oh no! <3 so stressful, I'm so sorry.

Thanks. Yes, it's incredibly stressful, I'm completely lost without my computer. It's decided it's going to work again at the moment, but I don't trust it, so I'll have to shell out for another if only as a backup.

Consider it done. :)
I can feel your pain, the iPad mini just decided it doesn't want to connect to the Internet... again. I hope my neighbour, the IT guy, can fix it (again). *fingers crossed*

And I can comment again!

Thanks, hopefully I can take over again in a few days. See what happens when I talk to my friend on Thursday. Right now, I have no idea if this computer will give up the ghost again.

Shall I take over the daily check-ins until your computer is healed?

[badly_knitted]

Thank you, if you could, that would be a big help. I don't know if my computer is even fixable and probably won't know until Thursday when my friend come to do the shopping. I may have to replace the computer, if that's even possible. I couldn't get a decent laptop last time, had to get the stupid mini laptop that's hardly got any memory. It's that one that's packed up, this is the second time *sigh*
