Back up after hosting cock up

I use Host Europe, AKA Web Fusion. One of the biggest, I believe, and certainly not the cheapest. Paid £100 for 12 months with 600Mb and 3Gb transfer a month. Thursday last week My site went off air. I didn't notice till someone told me, too busy working hard. Saturday I found out and called to complain, only to be told by tech support that it was something to do with accounts, and thus, I'd have to await Monday when some one would next be there to answer the phone.

Today, I was apologised to, the explanation didn't make sense to me, and bumped up to 1500Mb and 10Gb/mo. So I guess, I'm pretty happy.

Photos of my kids fill up disk space PDQ I'm already up to 500Mb here, as it is, and I'm about to transfer 500Mb of images from my Manila server to lighten the load on that machine.

Amanda's late birthday meal

context to watching TV in restaurant

google eyed at the google box with headphones

yucky hands after ribs

Yes, Bradley, you like bones don't you?

esme likes bones too

Yes, Esme, you like bones too, don't you.

Amanda very patiently waited for her birthday meal, which really wasn't that nice, dry, and dull. We went to the Red House near Newport, good monkey climbing place for the kids, but crap food.

Esme and Bradley enjoyed theirs, only because they were picking, then dashing off to watch the TV (Shrek) with their own headphones, which made them look like teeVee potatoes.

BTW: my camera had some greasy stuff on the lens, so some pix are a bit blurry ";->"

A bus ride to Telford

Instead of taking the car, we sometimes take the bus. Far more exciting than being belted up nice and safe in the car, swinging aroundtight corners as we whizz around the council estate on our way to the Telford Library.

foggy day at the bus stop in Dawley

Awaiting the bus is a trip in itself.

down in the supermarket at midnight

shopping in boots

They feel important with their own shopping trollies.

Bradley eating icecream

We each have one, some make more mess than others.

I don't think he realised they were real pigs ears in the pet shop.
