Finally, after a couple of weeks of being cut off from the virtual world of the Internet, our laptop has now been fixed and I am back in touch with the rest of the world.
When the laptop first stopped working, I was lost. I could not email my friends, do online shopping, do our online banking and of course write my blog. I felt so frustrated, especially in the evenings when I like to surf (especially when there is nothing on TV) and catch up with the messages and tips on netmums.
However, after a few days I started to think what did we all do before we had the Internet and e-mail? So instead of e-mailing friends I would actually pick up the phone and talk and do you know it was so much nicer. Instead of surfing the web in the evenings I began to read, something I have not done for quite some time. I also found I had so much more time to do things about the house.
The web has become such a big part of everyone's lifestyles that you do forget how you lived your life before it was invented.
Now the laptop is working and we are back online, of course I am pleased as I can keep in touch with my friends easier, but I have found myself not spending quite as much time on it and continuing the activities I had taken up when I did not have it.
It has ended up not being a bad thing that we went without it for a couple of weeks as it has made me rediscover other things I love.
