Unfortunately I have not been as efficient as Vicki, but I don't feel too bad about it. If you are not interested in the long story, skip down to the bottom of my post...lol...
I have had issues with my external drives... I have had one drive for a few years, and have kept EVERYTHING I have collected during the last 10years...movies, pictures, old University documents, music and so on... Now, this drive has been making a LOT of noise every time I started it...kinda like a big cat meowing... So, I thought I would get a new drive and move everything over...silly me I actually MOVED everything over from the old to the new, and then thought everything was fine. About 3weeks later I worked on organising my files one evening, shut everything down for the night, and in the morning when I started the computer and drive, the computer said I had to format the drive before using it...so, I tried EVERYTHING to get the drive working, but unfortunately nothing worked. I asked PC World where I got it, and they said I had to buy a program for £40 which MIGHT work ... I did not want to spend that kind of money on something that may not actually help me, so I looked online, found a program, downloaded a demo, and it found ALL my files on the old drive. I moved the recovered files from the old drive to my husband's drive, but every single file is named Unknown and numbered from 1 to 54217...which is how many files I have...so I have no way of knowing what is what which is a bit tricky. So, I did the same on the new drive where I should have the same amount of files...yeah right...on that one the program found more than 200,000 files - most of which are system files and error files and so on...so I have had so spend several hours (more than 10) on ticking the box for every file that I want, that is in the right place...as the drive which is called F also has some areas which are called unknown, 1 3 16 and so on...and anything that is unknown or not on the F drive are bad files. This is why I have not had the time to work on my list this week...I have spent most of my days ticking boxes and rescuing my files...
So, I have done a few stitches on the Heavygoing Grizzly and will post a pic of what it looks like tomorrow. I have not really done anything else on my lists...have been trying to work on weightloss, but that has been a standstill as well. I did go swimming, and I have been out walking the dog, but nothing like what I should have been doing...
I did get a little book to do a food diary, and will set up my Wii tomorrow.
Signing off for now,
Ylva
