This week, ladies, jellyspoons and interested parties, I have surpassed myself. Not an empty, shiny, clean anniversary desk for you to gaze upon in er, shock and awe. No sir. Nor a regular desk strewn with gifts. Nope. Not even a regular desk with the most amazing project upon it. Or - a regular desk with an interesting project that I've covered up for fear of you copying it - it's that good. (Ha ha!!) No. None of the above.
Today, there is no desk.
This is a scheduled post, and I'm writing to you from my friend's house on her teeny notebook, and I cannot tear the backside out of her hospitality by insisting on how to work out the uploading of photos. You see, the Internet, Chez Dunnit, is gorn, broken, kaput. It dropped off at about 4pm on Monday and it's apparently going to be fixed by tea time Wednesday. Oh yeah. Meantime, my whole life is in tatters. I suddenly need access to all of my favourite online locations, and even the bank. It's hideous. But oh my word, I've got quite a lot of other stuff done!
So, assume that Internet Chez Dunnit is fixed and that I will be gazing at more interesting desks than mine - upload a pic to your blog and link here so that others can pop round too. That would be nice. I think this may be a record for me; a photo-less post. Gives me the heebie jeebies, actually!

Oh NO! just shows how reliant we are on technology! I hate to be apart from my computer.... hope you get sorted soon Julia!
ooops! that is not good, no internet :( however on the plus side, think how much cleaning, hoovering, washing, and ironing you are getting done! sorry.. no I wouldn't do it either...just crafting! rofl
Have a good day,and I just remembered you won't be able to read this either!!!
xx
That is Major Panic Territory in my world. Despite giving myself a Pep Talk about rediscovering a Non-Internet existence, blah, blah, blah, it just does your head in and caused me a bigger mood swing than any hormonal surge! Hope it is all hunky-dory very soon.
Oh no Julia .. no internet .. I don't think I colud survive without it ... although i would get alot more done around the house, and have a healthier looking bank balance!!! Hope it is fixed soon.
Hugs

Oh horrors! I can't imagine not having the internet working on a Wednesday! *grin* Thank goodness I didn't make a mess again of Mr. Linky and need you to fix it. Peggy assigned me to link her up as she is flying home from Frankfurt but cannot bear to miss WOYWW!
OMG, that is horrible... I have an intermittant problem with my modem and have to do alsorts of shutting on and off sometimes to get it going again... it's a horrid feeling when you can't access the outside world, so let's hope you are soon mended, like Humpty, eh??!!

Oooooh ... hope your internet comes good soon! I don't have 24/7 internet, only when I am at work and that's only a about three days per week. (Luckily one of them is Wednesday.) At home I can get a bit of computer time via DH's clever, oops, "smart phone". Sometimes I would like to have more time online but then I think I would never, ever, get anything done, ever ... seriously!
Oo-arrr! how horrid for you Julia going into withdrawals no doubt it is amazing how dependant we become upon it, huh!! any way can safely say this is the neatest desk I have not seen!! off to doctor's, will be back later to peek some more, happy WOYWW Shaz in oz.x
ohh yesssss we know all about the no internet thing that was our fate last week for a few days .... left me rocking in the corner I can tell you - I certainly found out I would be useless in a disaster!!!!!
Oh dear... you do know that now you will realise just how much stuff you can get done when the computer is offline, don't you? On the plus side the effects don't take long to wear off!! ;)
A photoless post is better than no post at all. Hope you're all up and running again - it is really amazing though how much other stuff you can get done without computer access though!
oh dear, normal services to resume. It feels weird when you loose your internet, what people did many years ago without it? I will never know. But I am not surprised you got lots of work done.
Oh ROFL! Another Heebiejeebie-ite on the non-photo post.... Fingers crossed you get t'internet back ASAP - we need to organise Cath!
Yes, I can just imagine how much you must be able to get done without the seduction of the Internet calling to you. Lol. Enjoy the forced hiatus....looking forward to seeing what's in store next week... *smile*

Oh no...... thats awful, like having your arm cut off! I expect to see a very messy creative desk next week cos you should spend the time creating (not housework!!)
Hi hun
oh i do hope you get it fixed today, must say when my broke it is amazing how much more other stuff i got done, im sure my house use to be much tidier b4 the internet came into me life! lol, happy WOYWW, sue,x
You know...really there should be one day of the week that is totally internet free...I can imagine how much I would get done! Hope all is fixed and up and running soon!
Ouch! That's bit of a downer ... By my reckoning, you only have about nine Internet-free hours left by now! Hoping you have found some riches in its absence too!
Happy WOYWW. Nothing worse than not getting an internet connection. Hope it is fixed very soon.
I didn't realise just how much I relied on my internet access until it wasn't there...I couldn't settle to anything as everything I thought of doing needed t'net. Hope it is sorted quickly.
Toni xx
My house would be a lot tidier if I wasn't here and if I wasn't! Have a happy woyww
(Lyn)
Oh no, sky went down a few months ago in our house for the weekend- you think they had announced the end of the world (and that was just me!) luckily it was pre xbox days or Jake would have been a nightmare. Hope its up soon. Hugs Pam
Well now, next week you'll have NO excuse for your desk .... it's GOT to be tidy with all the extra time freed up due to major internet malfunction. However it could all be a massive ploy to avoid showing the biggest mess ever this week???!!! Nah! I believe you, honest I do and can tell from the desperation of what you've written.
Looking forward to seeing next week's pic!
JoZarty x
Desperate times - desperate measures. You will have hours to spend cleaning and tidying now - er - or maybe just nip out to a library or internet cafe. Have a great day x Jo
Oh noooooooo. I bet you feel like your right hand has been chopped off. Really hope you are up and running soon or your house will be spotless :-)
Hugs,
A x
Sorry to hear you have lost your right arm - e - I mean your internet! It sure does feel like you've lost your right arm when internet/comuter goes down doesn't it? Why do we get the urge to check our bank balance when we can't? Never can figure that one out!!
Happy WOYWW!P.S. I have put my PiF on today and thank you once again for organising it Julia!!
Oh dear. It's amazing how much we can miss something we could not have even imagined having 10 years ago, isn't it?
Hope you're back in the Land of Blogging soon
Thank goodness for your friends lap top! Tho hop goes on! Hope it gets fixed later. Thanks for all the effort you have gone to to keep us going.
Thank goodness for good friends! Hope your internet is reinstated very soon and you can get back to 'normal'... maybe you can show us all tomorrow what was on your desk today *lol*
Have a wonderful WOYWW with friends and fun!
Dear Ladles and Jellyspoons

It makes no difference
where you sit
The man in the gallery's

Ah sweet memories, hope you survive tinterweblessness without too much more distress...
next week we need one fine day in the middle of the night....
Dx
Hope you get all connected up again real soon! But you are a trooper, even without internet, you still managed to get this post and Mr Linky all set for us! That is why you are the Queen of WOYWW!
xoxo
Karen
I do hope normal service is resumed soon ....but I am a little worried ,from the way you have written your post, that you are actually addicted to this technology and you may soon be suffering withdrawl....thank goodness for your friends Note Book ...to ease the pain lol xx
oh dearie me..you must be devastated...no internet..it's definitely an addiction...hope you are back on the airways again soon...big hugs kath xxx
Oh no! I would go mad without it!!! Some say I'm already mad but they haven't seen me without the internet!!!!
Hope you get yours back soon!
"There is no spoon". ;)
Hope your internet gets fixed asap. I'm bereft without the internet - and about to be probably internetless (and separated from my craft desk too!) for two whole weeks while on holiday... how will I cope?!!
Hope it's all fixed real soon! We don't realise how much we depend on our computers till something like that happens! Frightening!!! ;)
xoxo Sioux
Touch wood its been a while since I was internetless but I remember the abject terror! OMG its not Bloggers fault is it? They seem to get blamed for everything just lately, lol
Oh no how unfair! No Interenet??!! How very dare they? They have no idea how much important stuff us Crafty Bloggers have to do do they ;o)
You never know what you've got until you lose it, right? :) Happy WOYWW!
Gaaaarrrrrghhhh! I feel for ya hon!
Hugs, Sandra
That's scary Julia no internet, I'm amazed you've managed to get other things done, I'd be pacing the floor boards chewing my finger nails off. Am I addicted to the web? You bet.
Kathleen x
Oooer, wot no internet?! I think we'd all be lost without it, especially on Wednesdays!! Hope it's sorted out soon Julia :) Di xx
ARRRRGGGGG no internet... Fingers crossed your back online soon, I fret if I don't have internet, which can be often as we often loose power... so I know how you feel.
I have left my link to my work desk..second week running... it takes so so long....lol
see your desk next week.
Claire x
Hope you get sorted soon, in the meantime we will have to imagine what your desk looks like
I've just found you and joined the fun for the first time....
S x
We do get to be quite dependent on our technologies don't we? Hope you get reconnected soon!
Happy WOYWW!

Oh what sad news. It's like having a body part that's not working. I've been backing up as my system is 5 yrs old and the fan is starting to make noises..It's like the world stops for a few days and your stress builds and builds.
I was so relieved to hear from Sally that she received my PiF.. She had the same problem, broken computer..I've posted my PiF gift to her but maybe she's got hers up and running now.
Thanks for the fun. Good Luck.
Julia - I feel your pain! I had the same kind of week last week....so I broke down and bought a mac. Trying to save data, xfr it, learn a new operating system has been the cause of much vino indulgence:)
Good luck with your internet! I'm facing a complete loss of availability at work; so know what your going through. Amazing how tied up we've become to this ethereal link.
Oh no!! A world without the internet...I'd be lost! All thanks to your friend for letting you post and keeping us ladies going for yet another week!!! :)
Lordy, lordy, no internet would send me to an early grave I'm sure of it!
Oh noooooo! I feel your pain Julia. Hope it's back, on schedule tonight:)
Hope it gets fixed quickly for you! There must be something in the air, because I really didn't have anything this week either, but for a different reason. :-)
It is odd seeing a pictureless post! Hope you are restored to the internet soon! Perhaps you can add a picture later lol. #84
oh no that is terrible, hope you get it sorted out soon!
Happy Crafting and Happy WOYWW, Debx
Don't you love it? You can go for a day or so without ever needing to check on t'inernet, and then just because you can't you suddenly NEED to check everywhere. At once. Hopefully you'll be connected at Chez Dunnit soon! cheers!
Hope you get reconnected soon.
i'll imagine how your desk looks today. hey lady, sometimes a forced break is good. go for a walk. fyi, i didn't post my desk today either. i wanted to show everyone my finished project that took up my work space for weeks.
hang in there honey, tea time is coming.
No heebie-Jeebies necessary, Julia, it happens to the best of us! (I have a teeny-tiny notebook too)
Well It's been a while been very busy . I'm going to try a link more since its summer.
Being Internet-less is terrible- how did we cope without it?
Back after an absence of a few weeks! Hope you get your technical difficulties sorted
Isn't that always the way? As soon as the internet is inaccessible, you can think of a million things you absolutely MUST See! Hope things are up and running again soon. I admire your dedication to get your post up in the meantime! Happy WOYWW!
Loaded my post and then read your blog so know how you are feeling. I have only been down for the day and that was bad enough. Thought I was going to have to miss this week. Hugs Mrs A.
Ohhh nightmare, Julia. You only realise how we love the old 'tinternet when we can't use it. I hope you get sorted very soon and are back among us where you belong.
Hugs Lisax
Oh no! I know how you feel though Julia, hmmm, I have internet...via dongle...but my lappy is dead!!!!! He's gone for a new hard drive and I feel a loss that is quite unspeakable...to the point that I WANT to spend hours at work, so that I can have a break and browse...it's very twisted I know and it worries me! hahaha
Hope it's all working again for you now, fingers crossed!
*hugs* Sal x
Am having trouble up loading this, am not anonymous because I'm a stalker, am anonymous because tis the only way I've been able to comment on a few blogs today x
MAYBE YOU turn this into a positive and take a break doing something you usually don't have time to do.......BUT
it has to be a FUN THING!!!
Thank your friend very much from me ... if you hadn't posted I would have started worrying! I can hear my thoughts even now
'maybe my pif was good enough'
'maybe I don't leave enough comments'
'maybe she was crushed under a pile of paper' etc. etc.
We had a 36 hour internet outage this weekend, and it was miserable! And like you, of course, I suddenly needed it to do EVERYThing. I hung out at the local coffee shop to get the bare necessities in. Free wifi sites are a blessing.
Hope you're up and running soon!
Think of it as a positive... all the other stuff you will get done instead
janet
Hope you get your internet sorted out soon!
Julie
Oooohhhhhhhh no internet I dread it happening- I'm so sad. Sorry not to have been here last week - well not in one way as I was on a lovely holiday in Dorset with my DS,DDIL, GD'S and DH. A lovely time was had by all. I also tried to comment on various blogs the week before but was having a 'lorra lorra trouble' hopefully not so this time.
Hope you soon get sorted Julia. Anne x
OMG! A crafters nightmare on a Wednesday, NO INTERNET.
Hope your internet is up and running real soon
Crafty Kaz
Missed your weekly pic, Julia!
Yup, we all surely would get a lot more done w/o the internet. I don't really think computers save us all THAT much time, lol. (But I wouldn't voluntarily give mine up!)
Hopefully all will be up and running at your house again soon.
Julia hun, how are you surviving without tinterwebs??!! I would be going completely spare! Well done on being able to post today at all. I would have ended up sitting in a corner, rocking myself and muttering.
I'm horrendously late posting my contribution tonight, but it's been one of those days.
Hope you get your internet all sorted - I have just about made it this week not sure where today has gone - I will be doing my visits tomorrow
Oops! I forgot to leave a comment, where was my brain yesterday :( I sincerely hope your internet problem has been sorted by now and you are back in the cyber world with us, otherwise you will be so missed. Elizabeth x #79
Sorry to hear that you are having problems with the computer. My life is on mine so I am constantly backing up so I don't lose anything. Have a great week! Vickie
Sorry to hear about your internet problem, glad you are back online now! I posted on Wednesday but forgot to link up to you as it was a scheduled post too! I like the pic of your desk though, sometimes it is nice to be cluttered! lol
Worst nightmare! hope it meant you got more crafting done - or your ink pads sorted out! lol
well I've finally done it and signed up! after finding out what woyww meant haha I'm shocking. But this looks like fun.
Looks like fun. (not being without internet, but WOYWW . . . ) cheers
