So I took a few days break, had a sneaky little
holiday, no mod cons, no Internet, heaven. NOT!!
But my blog has been down for a few days and now
it's back up and I want to say sorry and thanks to other bloggers for their help
and advice in fixing the 'problem', which wasn't technical at all but fear that
my security had been breached and could have been further breached by
remaining online. To make matters worse it happened early on a day when I was
travelling to London to meet with friends from the blogging community and I was
in a rush and not sure sure what to do and my husband just said, 'take it off
line until we can find out what's happened with your email sends, then you
can enjoy your day out without the worry'. So that's what I did.
Hence my absence, naughty girl me
AWOL.
So I'm back and I've stopped using the email programme which we think was sending emails randomly to names in my address book. P said it was operator error, maybe it was I don't know, but I shan't be using the programme again. My google email remains the same.
I was really worried at the time and although I thoroughly enjoyed my day in London, it was still at the back of my mind. I don't know which was worse, the fear of being compromised or the frustration of not being able to blog:)
Anyway back now.

that sucks, and I'm sorry you had to go through that. I think all of us at some point have had a similar scare, whether it was an email sent to the wrong person, being "outed" about something private or simply feeling like our 'safe place' has been breached. Good to see you back.
I am glad you’re back!!!
I get the panic and stress associated with feeling as if your security is in jeopardy! I’d have done the same.
Just happy your here again!
Welcome back Ronnie! Glad to see you back. Sorry about the scare, it's no fun not knowing if our security has been compromised. Glad it is now resolved.
Hope you all had a wonderful time in London.
Hugs
Roz
Wonderful to see you back Ronnie. I returned to the land after a bit of a break and thought you had blocked me. LOL! Hope all is well with your email now.
Hugs Lindy xx
Glad you are back!! Missed you!
Whatever happened, I'm really glad you're back!
Ronnie,
Welcome back and have a wonderful time with all the bloggers in London. Wish I was there too. Next time!
Meredith
Happy to have you back.
There's nothing I have that needs protection besides I have lost track of how many e mails I have when the attacks happen I just start another one
Glad to see you back, and all is well. Hopefully no one received messages spanking related that went to family and friends who know nothing about your blog and lifestyle.
I am on a Pc, and use inprivate window for all my blogging and yahoo mail, and use google chrome for all my "normal" interactions with family and friends.
bottoms up
Red
Glad you’re up and running again, Ronnie.

Ronnie, I am so glad the scare is over! Like Red, I use one browser for blogging and blog emails, and a different browser for vanilla emails and other things, so wires don't get crossed.
It's great to have you back!
Hugs,
Hermione

Hermione - I think I should do that. Thank you.
