I am still alive. My broadband was activated on Monday. Sadly, though, BT have buggered something up so it doesn't work properly. And Wednesday night not only did it not work at all, but my phone line completely stopped working too. I speak to BT at least twice a day, except yesterday and this morning I even spoke to an English person! Now I am at home, though, I have internet, finally.

I am mostly unpacked, I just need to buy a wardrobe so I can put everything else away. And a sofa so I have something comfortable to sit on to watch TV. When my landlord has fixed the aerial - at the moment it's pretty dead and I'm using an internet aerial, which I have to reposition every time I want to watch something and during that time too.

I am still trying to catch up with all the things I've been wanting to do this week, along with reading through the Yuletide archive. I've read 45 stories so far (I can tell from the top commenters list).
