Orange Internet Everywhere

Well I wanted something to happen, and it did!! My internet access got cut off. It's been off for over a week, all through a bank mix-up that meant the payment due at the end of March didn't go through. I've been in touch with the bank concerned. I've phoned Orange at God-knows-how-much-but-EXPENSIVE-per-minute-rates and been kept on hold to make sure it was even more expensive....4 times!! The last time they assured me my internet would get switched back on within 24 hours but I am still waiting a week later. Thanks to Bar Galeo - where they are sick of seeing me - Bar L'Era and the car parking space outside Mark and Julie's home in Campo Rosso, I have been able to stay online using Wi-Fi, but not as much as before (obviously).
Today, I got another freelance job. I have to write 15 articles, each 400 words long, and submit them all by Monday.
I can write in the house, but I need the internet for research.
