Last week was a nightmare for us with computers; we suffered a hard disk crash and lost 4 weeks of emails and some data.

January 2004 was the last time we had a computer hard drive crash and that was very painful as we never had an effective back-up in place and lost many months of work. Friday 31st August our hard drive again decided to die and we lost almost four weeks of emails and work which wasn’t as bad but still not good.

It is now Monday (10 days later) and we are just about back to normal, it was more of a problem for poor Jo than me, but of course that indirectly affects me so it was not a good week for technology in our business. Considering we operate our computers 365 days of the year without switching off I think we do very well and if this is the worst that can happen our Feng Shui must be good. I am talking as if I am always calm, collective and optimistic; the question is was I this positive last Saturday when I discovered the crash? No way.

If you have emailed us within the last four weeks and still not received a reply from us please resend your email. Please be patient with us, all will be well very soon. Thank you.
