Alone in the dark in a powercut

[Karen]

Hi All

Just realised I have (for now) at least one form of communication still working.

We have a power cut here. I have one candle because of my eating disorder I have practically nothing not plastic on which to stand one *sigh*, no phone because that needs power, my mobile battery is about to die, no proper internet as that needs the router (I'm on data card which is unrealiable), and I am not sure how long the battery on my laptop will last.

Feeling all alone and quite scared here.

Oh no I hate power cuts - doesn't it go so quiet and dark?

Just a suggestion - can you go for a drive for a bit to somewhere where it is lighter so not so scary?

I am sure it won't be long before it is back on again mate.

Aw Karen Hunny!

Hopefully it won't be too long. I find the electricity companies here are quite good at geting it back on again. Not sure South of the border tho! I do think with their modern technology it is easier for them to pinpoint where a fault is and so fix it.
Hopefully you will be back on soon.

Aww Karen how horrible for you.

I do hope the power is back on by now.

Thinking of you,

Thank you Nic, Lisa, Happyone and Piglet.

As Piglet said, just after posting this Jac thankfully came to the aid of my distressed text message and I went round there for the evening. I tried to get back on here to post before I went but not only had the power died, the data card died too :angry: . So I couldn't let you know.

Electric just back on and I am so relieved. It was so eerie and I felt so alone and cut off here in the dark. I came back from Jac's armed with torches and tea lights!

Thank you all for your support :) .

Yes and long may it last. Couldn't even boil water for a hot water bottle for my stomach pains.

I hope everything still works in the morning or I'll be panicking again :oopsie:

I hope you have power in the morning too, I expect you will. At least it will be daylight if it happens then.

Glad you went out and did something during the powercut Karen It sounds like you had a lovely evening into the bargain! It is eerie when all the lights are out isn't it?

Glad Jac 'rescued' you. In the end, it must have been nice to have some company.

So there is a silver lining behind every cloud....
