Delayed FNSI

My sincerest apologies but this one was out of my control

Our regular monthly FNSI will be held NEXT Friday 23rd March due to the fact I have only just got my internet back on this very minute (well, within the last 3 minutes!).  I'll put the sign-ons up on Monday.
We have been without for nearly 4 weeks due to an NBN outage and after many calls to and fro with the provider, it was found to be a fault in the NBN fibre which has only just been fixed. 


Our little rural/regional area has limited internet at the best of times and our house seems to sit on a 'black spot' of internet connectivity, so when the NBN isn't working, the household stops!  No internet means no phone, no Netflix, no blogging, and limited facebook and Instagram.....and Pinterest is out of the question!  It's a hellhole! (what DID we do pre-internet???)

Hubby was out talking to the guy fixing the connections and he said there were broken wires within the fibre but now they are all good and we should have no further problems  PLUS, the bonus.......our internet speed has doubled!!!  So blogging will be soo much easier from here on in!

Have a fab weekend.  I'm off to my son's and daughter-in-law to be's engagement party tonight!  They grow up way too fast don't they?
Can't wait to stitch with you next week!
xox sugary hugs :o)

Congrats to the happy couple. I am glad that they are taking their time to roll out the NBN in my area. How frustrating.

Hi Wendy, oh no! How frustrating for you! We had no internet one Christmas time and my (adult) children went berserk (they just couldn't cope without it - lol!). Happy to do FNSI next Friday instead. Congratulations to you all on your son's engagement.

Have a fun party - we will all be back next week (internet permitting)

Congrats on the engagement and I hope you have a fantastic time tonight at the party! As for the NBN, I can't believe they found broken cables already! Considering how many are having trouble with NBN, you have to wonder how many other problems might be related to cable damage. Our NBN is slower than before NBN - but our phone is not connected to it as that couldn't be done in this area.
Looking forward to next week.

See you next week. Glad you're internet is back on & running. I think before we had the internet to entertain us, we just watched paint dry! Hahaha! Not really ... an old-fashioned deck of cards is what we use to play with. That an paper crossword puzzles and jigsaw puzzles. Hours of pleasure!
