**Updated update information**
Hello everyone:
Thought I would give you an update as to where I am up to in regards to updating...
As I posted in my last post, I've started a new job. When I posted that I was on permanent night shifts, however now my roster changes every week and I can't even plan ahead one or two days at the moment. It seems at the moment I'm mainly on day shift, which is from 11am or 12pm to 7 or 8pm, which is a bad shift for me to do because I'm buggered when I get home and I basically get up and go straight to work. Add on top of this the fact that they throw in a few night shifts every couple of days and then put me on weird days off and you have my working schedule. I'm also trying to sort out a few things re moving in the new year, which is taking up a bit of time (especially considering I've no idea where I'm moving too or whether or not the company I work for will even let me transfer to somewhere else- I need to transfer to get a promotion basically, but it's whether or not I'll get the transfer to somewhere I want- it's all very confusing).
I've also just had a major computer breakdown- my computer was refusing to load Windows and in the end we had to basically wipe everything off the system and start again. Which means I lost all my files- including the file to Hermione's Box. I do have a back-up disk, however I cannot remember a) where said disk is and b) how long ago I made it. I had actually made progress on the next chapter- it was pretty much complete, I just needed to re-read and edit- and I hadn't had a chance to do said re-reading and editing before the computer went nuts. So I'm back to square one and desperately searching the study for said backup disk (if any one has seen this disk, please let me know where it is lol).
So that's where you stand currently on getting new updates. My search for the back up disk has been hindered slightly by the fact that I'm not terribly mobile at the moment- I've hurt my hip pretty badly and can hardly walk, so getting down on hands and knees to find piles of disks isn't really the most appealing task at the moment. So please be patient with me and I promise you will have the next update by Christmas at least!!!
