I had a lovely walk yesterday, and another short one today.  Yesterday I had to walk to get Nick's birthday pressie in the post, and also to deliver Claire's pressie to their house.  She was out (Tim was at work), so I left it in their recycling bin in the back garden, as I have a key to their back gate (and remembered to take it with me).  I then text them, as this morning was bin day for us both, and didn't wan't the pressie to end up in recycling - well unless Claire doesn't like it and chooses to do that anyway!

Wednesday however was a very stressful day.  In the morning I had a message from my "boss" at work to ask why I hadn't renewd my DBS this year.  She took me by suprise, as although it is due next week, I had done it back in November.  So, after an hour on hold on the phone with the company that actually employs me I found out that, no, I wasn't covered, but they couldn't tell me why.  So they gave me another number ... and I was on hold for another hour!  Luckily this time I got to speak to someone who was actually helpful  He eventually worked out that "someone" had forgotten to clear it through the system ... so I had to do it again.  So I walked into their office in work only to be told that I had to have an appointment.  So I just sat down and said that the man at HQ told me to come in ... and she decided it was the easiest way to get rid of me!

At long last I have heard that the paperwork is with the DBS people ... I just now have to wait for it to be cleared.  I asked both the people I spoke to why I had not been informed that there was a problem, and their answer was that they didn't know!

What a day!

As ever in between everything I have made a few icons. These 4 are foru your_favourites, with a theme of "Siblings". My favourite sibling relationship is that of Buffy & Dawn in BtVS

4  .  3  .  2  .  1

I actually got caught up with all my icons for the month of January ... roll on February.

Tomorrow I am working in the afternoon, but hope to pop in during the morning - so until then ....







29. It is thought that William Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet" was first performed in 1595. Have you ever seen a Shakespeare play on the stage?
No - had to read them at school. Henry IV part I was one of my O' level plays (the othere was "A Nan For All Seasons")

30. Do you have houseplants?
Yes, but they survive more by luck, I think

31. The end of January – does it seem to have flown past? Have you enjoyed this month?
It's been a typical January really - nothing special, nothing bad.






Right, hope to see you tomorrow.

This set of icons is made for Round 56 of [community profile] monthlyinspo  ... with a theme of Peach Fuzz.  All the icons are from BtVS season 6 ... and I just really hope that the colour fits (as ever, there are worries for me as someone who is colourblind).  So if anyone feels that a colour doesn't fit, please do let me know.

Anyway, enjoy -

As I have done this each year, I shall probably did in and out of it. We shall see how it goes!

Snowflake Challenge promotional banner with image of three snowmen and two robins with snowflakes. Text: Snowflake Challenge January 1-31.


Challenge #1

In your own space, update your fandom information! Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.


For any of you who know me, not much has changed over the last few years ... although I at long last watched Stargate Atlantis ... and loved it. I am a great fan of John/Elizabeth (and am in fact slowly wring a fic).

But other than that my fandoms are Spuffy from BtVS (the series & no comics), Katheryn Janeway/Chakotay from Star Trek Voyager (haven't seen Prodigy yet)

Still love a lot of TV series ... but just look at my Profile, as not much changes. ...  One boring girl!





I haven't don't any more from day one, until today ... I will do some of the missing challenges at some point, but will do this one now (one less for the future!)





Challenge #9

In your own space, celebrate a personal win from the past year: it can be a list of fanworks you're especially proud of, time you spent in the community, a quality or skill you cultivated in yourself, something you generally feel went well. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.



I keep saying I am going to get back to writing, well last year I did add a bit to my Spuffy WIP.

As I mentioned in Snowflake #1, I found a new fandom in Stargate Atlantis, and shipping John/Elizabeth. Well, as I did when I fell into fandom I am writing a fic to change/add onto the ending. It is still a WIP, however I hope to get it finished ASAP ... and it will then be up on my AO3 account - Debris4spike

So although I can't share that with you, I am proud of the fact I am getting back into fandom writing.








And, as I said a bit earlier I fifnoshed off this set of icons for challenge 163 of your_favourites … with favourite hairstyle being the prompt.  Although I personally have short hair, I do like long hair ... as you can see in these 4 Buffy icons, there are an asssortment of things you can do ..

These icons are all from episode 7 "Fool for Love", one of the best episode of the 7 series, imho!

10 BtVS Icons

debris4spike: (Eternal Refuge - Hold me)
Well I have managed to get a few more icons made ... I am very lucky that the couple of contests I still can enter only want 10 icons at a time, otherwise I would be stuck.

I spoke too soon - I thought I had avoided the virus this winter ... however I have spent the last 3 days in bed, and am only up now so I can get these done. Other than take Jiffy for a walk and eat and drink the last 3 days have been spent asleep. I did see a doctor yesterday who confirmed it was viral, however is concerned that I also have sinusitis again. So I have a prescription for penicillin if I am not feeling better by tomorrow. So, we shall see. I had planned to go out for the day with Christine tomorrow, but that is cancelled ... I just hope I am well enough for the couple of coach trips I have planned over the following, Easter, weekend.

Anyway, enough of me whining ... you came to see icons. So here they are. 10 icons for round 8 of [community profile] icons10in20 ... and all taken from BtVS season 5 ... enjoy

10 Icons

I know, I have been MIA (again), for those who read this and not just look at the icons! I have been working some extra shifts, which is good for the bank balance, but not great for my CFS. However I must be positive and say that 6 years ago I could hardly walk across a room without wobbling, so the fact that I have just worked 4 - 5 days a week for the last 3 weeks, is great ... However it means that I tend to just slob around, and not even turn on the pc in an evening. And even my weekends have ended up busy ... but one day (soon, I hope) I will post a proper update (on LJ), and will try and finish the Snowflake Challenge that I still have a couple of days to do.

Anyway, until then, at least I have icons to share. I started off making them from the last episode of BtVS, but then ended up doing 3 different ones, as I read the challenge ... anyway, I hope that you enjoy them. They are made for Round 7 of [community profile] icons10in20

Day 8
In your own space, post self-recs for at least three fanworks that you created. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.


Oh boy, that's hard, as I don't tend to think anything that I do is great.

Anyway, here are 3 icons that I have made, and actually do like ...

 photo 9376275_zpshqpiuvz8.jpeg

This is a really early one of mine. I loved that stark image of Buffy, so showing the phrase of her being the One Girl that is the way Slayers are described.

 photo 9376275 1_zpskmzk0kzt.jpeg

If you have read the last few days, you will know I like AU's, so had to make a Spuffy icon with them both as vampires ... and, yes, there are a few good fics out there.

 photo 9376275_zpskv30ozr9.gif

Anyone who knows me knows I like James (Marsters, aka Spike, for those who don't know) ... well I loved getting my photograph to link with a phrase ... and working out how to add the words!!



And, as an extra, I thought I should link the story that started getting me into LJ (and DW) .... It's all a Question of Timing

I watched BtVS (late, as it was already on re-runs), and was so upset about the end, and wanted to write a final chapter. Having been told never to attempt to write (by an English teacher), I was reluctant to think about it, but the muse wouldn't leave me. So I wrote the story and ended up finding LJ, and other fans ... and have since written other scribbles.
