LJ down the pan?

So there are rumours that LJ is going down the pan. This is pretty sad if it's true.  I'm currenly in the process of copying all my posts from LJ to IJ using a programme called LJ-sec.  I would strongly advise anyone who wants to continue reading my journal to add my on IJ as well, same user name, just in case this ship goes down. (LJ ship, not Snarry/HP slash ship *g*)  I'm not very fond of IJ purely because it's not as pretty and a lot harder to navigate, but if needs must, then I'll go there.

Before I go, I'd just like to thank esmestrella , speed_demon77 , ladylark77 , leela_cat  and micolerose  for the lovely Christmas Cards.  Also, thanks to softly_sweetly  for the fabulous pressies and chocolate for me and the kids, thanks to dementordelta for sending me an awesome handmade Snarry card/flip book with lovely little address labels from Snape and Harry, and tigerflame for the card and awesome origami crane, which the kids are totally intrigued by.

On the fic front, I've got no more fests to write and no plans to do any for a while. My muse appears to have totally disappeared at the moment.  I still have to finish my livelongnmarry  fic which is the next chapter of Fire Call for impextoo  and i can only beg her forgiveness for not having it done sooner, but I haven't been very well.  Also, I'm writing a quick n dirty Snape/Albus Severus belated bday fic for iulia_linnea and that should be done in the next week or so.  After that, I think I might give writing a break for a while, I'm just not feeling the love at the moment.

Hope you're all enjoying the new year!

Three things..

1. There is a spare ticket to see Equus on Wednesday 21st January.  I had planned to go back out and see it with
   alisanne
     but I just didn't get around to making the arrangements and getting the cash together. I overlooked the fact that there was a ticket for me.  If anyone wants to go, can you please get in touch with me?! Thanks!
2. Stupid, nosy woman I fell out with 2 years ago has been asking my friends questions about my wedding.  This is highly suspicious, especially as she was asking things like if it would affect my benefits.  No huge surprise if I get a call from the council regarding my rent and provision of housing benefit.  What really pisses me off is that I'm not doing anything wrong. Paddy isn't living with me, he lives in Dorset at the army camp, he's only here weekends. Once we're married I'll be sure to do the right thing and let them know of my change of status, but it fucks me off royally to know she's likely planning to grass us up.  Still, at the end of the day, I can console myself with the knowledge that I'm not the sort of woman who allows her ex husband to beat his kids with a belt.  The reason we fell out was because the eldest of her kids told me that, and when I confronted her she blew up and said it was none of my business.  That was two years ago now, and we completely avoid one another at the school.  So for her to be asking my friends questions about my wedding is very, very suspicious indeed.
3. I'm taking a break from writing, as I mentioned in my previous post.  I'm not taking a break from fandom, and therefore would like to say that if anyone needs a beta (or a second beta) for their fic, I'd be more than happy to oblige.  I'm pretty good at spotting typos and sentence structure, grammar etc.  Punctuation I'm probably quite weak on, to be honest, hence the offer of second beta.

That's all for now, folks!
