just a quick un

good evening all.
just a quick post to say there will be no card tonight.i am so far behind in commenting so am gonna spend the night catching up with you all.
i had a big problem with my blog this morning, i scheduled my PFP post, signed out of my blog and logged in to the crafty urchins blog to post a card on there.
i posted my card ok but then i was unable to sign out of crafty urchins.it just kept staying on the dashboard.
my bro set my pc up so that it doesn`t remember passwords and so normally once i log off the internet and go back on i always have to sign in again.
but that wasn`t working, whatever i did it was taking me to crafty urchins dashboard.even shutting down my lappy and leaving it 10 mins before switching it back on didn`t work
then my PFP post didn`t publish so i had to give crafty urchins my log in details so that sue could hit publish on my  PFP post, so huge thanks to sue for doing that for me and apologies to the PFP ladies for my post being a little late.
anyway phoned my trusty little bro, he had me deleting cookies and browsing history and allsorts but it still wouldn`t work so in the end i have had to completely restore my laptops broswer/internet  back to original settings so i could get my blog back.
cor i can tell you for nearly 3 hours i i really thought that was it, no more blog.
but ya can`t get rid of me, mwahhhaa.
so after all that i`m now going to have  a catch up.do scroll down though for my final PFP dt card , as i am now on my 6 month break :D
