Dave is my hero of the hour (the day and the week)! Over the last few weeks, several niggling little problems had arisen with our website and because we were without the internet at the office for almost a month during our move, he was unable to attend to the problems as they arose.
Despite it being a busy time of year and having lots of packing and organising to do, he has still managed to fix all the little errors on the website. What a star he is!
I, of course, played my usual essential role of being helpful whilst he was attending to the website. I pointed out all the little problems, nagged that this or that had not yet been sorted out. Right in the middle of him doing 'brain surgery' on the website, I did my best bit of work for him. I also went to the control panel section of our administration panel and clicked on a few buttons.
Now not being the most technically minded girlie on earth, it did not occur to me that by clicking on buttons and making changes to product descriptions whilst he was doing delicate things with the website nerve centre, I might cause a problem or two. 'Well that's obvious' I hear a cry from the distance, but actually no, it's not! I was using a different computer and in my head that meant what I did would not effect the work Dave was doing. Wrong!
Much later in the day, when Dave had sorted out the dreadful mess I had made of things, we were able to laugh about it, but I do regret having caused him hours of extra work by my over zealous fingerwork on the keyboard. Have I learnt from this experience? Will I do it again? Yes, I have learnt that no matter what problems I create on the website, Dave can fix them and yes, I will probably forget this incident and do it again.... it's why he loves me!
We have the radio on in the background and I am pleased to hear a barrage of Christmassy songs, he have just listened to the Spice Girls (well blocked it out of our minds, but it was on the radio) and now Elvis Costello is warbling 'I don't want to go the Chelsea' ~ very apt for the last but one Saturday before Christmas. Still, that's much nicer than listening to Dave and I humming the songs that we have stuck in our heads at the moment. I keep humming the theme tune to Star Trek and Dave (the old softy) has kept me serenaded most of the week with 'Moon River'. What's the betting that in two days time you will find yourself humming one of these tunes and wondering how they got stuck in your mind?
Well, I need to go and get organised, I am collecting Cecily this afternoon and need to make sure all the orders are despatched before I go.
Chat soon, Liz
