Whilst my girlfriend was on holiday she had both her hotmail accounts deleted, in the process of that she also lost her myspace and flickr pro account.
We dont really care about that except the flickr pro account - that obviously cost money to upgrade, and we had loads of great photos on there (shes a photography student).
I've emailed flickr asking for advice, but was just curious if you guys had any suggestions...

Hotmail ? WTF ?

Yeah, your g/f better be hot. Because she ain't that smart.

Btw, how did "they" delete a Hotmail account over night ?
How did you know it's deleted ? Were you able to login ?
