Ok, so it's official, I'm a numpty!

So, it's an undisputed fact that I am a total dunce when it comes to technical stuff.
This is evidenced by the fact that every now and again, I'm tippy-tapping away on my computer and I think to myself, 'I really must back all this stuff up at some point'. And do I do it? No, of course I bloody don't, because that's something someone with two functioning brain cells to rub together would do.
*sigh*
So, I guess you know where this is going...
A couple of weeks ago, my laptop had some kind of mysterious technical burp - no idea when or why or even what happened, but the bottom line is that several documents that I had saved have somehow spontaneously disappeared. These were long-standing documents that I've been dipping in and out of for years, things like dapplegrey art stock record and my list of birthday dates. I've looked in my junk folder, I've looked in other folders, I've looked in the computer search function, heck, I've even looked down the back of the sofa and these documents are gone forever, vanished into the ether somewhere.
Now, unfortunately one of the missing documents is my Supernatural Christmas card list - which is an embuggerance of epic proportions!
Therefore, I have a favour to ask...
Those of you that are on my Christmas card list, you know who you are - which is good, because I don't any more :(
Please could you add your name and post address to this post (I have screened comments) or send it to me in a DM if you feel more comfortable doing so!
Thank you. Luckily, I've got plenty of time to rebuild my Christmas card list...
And do a sodding back up!!!!!!
