Hi everyone

Penelope Penguin has been in touch this morning and suggested that it's time for Part 4 because part 3 has grown and grown, thanks to you all for your hard work! She will add links to this thread so that we can carry on seamlessly.

It's wonderful to think that we are now at the start of part 4! It's thanks to you all that this little idea, started just over two years ago, has become such a success!

FOR ALL NEWBIES AND LURKERS - I have tried to post a link to a post but, for some reason, it hasn't worked. Until I have sorted it out, please look for post number 1885, which you will find on page 95 of this thread - it will tell you all about what we do! Do please join us!


For all those who may have been lurking, please, please feel free to join us! You will receive the warmest of welcomes and I just know you will enjoy it here!

    WOW - part 4 already !!

    Just popped in before getting organised for the birthday party and found we have a nice new thread.

    As Kathy says, stop lurking and jump on the bandwagon. We got a few more joining in last time we got a new thread, so come in and say hello, you`ll be in good company. :)


    Update for me ( covers past few weeks, I`m not that quick at knitting)

    2 Oxfam type jumpers
    2 Chalky squares

    One jumper is actually a larger size aids T top and the other is the blue one from Maytaurus`s link the other week but it will be easier just to put them in as oxfams probably - save having umpteen jumper types.


    Hope everyone has a happy Sunday doing what they enjoy doing.

Nice day today with church then some friends for lunch (pork loin and then cheesecake) followed by a snooze. Poor mums tummy didnt appreciate food so am hoping that the scan shows something as its getting her down now...just sent her to bed!

    Wow.... A new thread to play with. lol.

    Drum roll - I have managed to complete some of my work in progress, I managed to 'create' the faces for 2 snuggle blankets & sew up a baby cardigan, unfortunately the buttons I had to hand were too small, so this week I must go through my stash & see if I can find some that are suitable.

    Big hugs to all those in need xx

    First post of the week from me lol! Just winding down after another night at a&e...poor mum being sick all day and was in agony so rang an ambulence and then spent rest of night there with her. Shes staying in and will have another scan tomorrow so hopefully they can find out whats wrong. Poor love is feeling really rotten and quite woozy when they gave her morphine but at least that took the pain away for a bit. Shes on a drip and looking quite frail for the first time ever and is still frustrated that her body wont do what she wants it to... Prayers please from those who say them. Shes in great hands and, as always the case of late, was well looked after but its a worry and Im knackered.
    well done sgt - I feel a bit like that lol!

    Re ‘We are going to sue the hospital because the way they have treated my mom, They said if they done the op within the 1st and 3rd cancellation she wouldn't be going through this now, And don't forget there was 9 cancellations,’
    As I’ve said before, the medical ‘profession’................
    angryface.jpg

    One has to ask, just how you are supposed to get a GP to take notice of what you say to them?!?
    It just seems to me that if you’re in an accident or drop down somewhere with a serious problem like a heart attack, you will be helped to survive, but beyond that I have found that nobody is interested
    I’m sure there must be some people with GOOD GP’S but I don’t know of any and haven’t seen/spoken to anyone from the so called*medical profession* since I put the phone down on my GP and spent an hour crying because of the way I have been spoken to / treated ................
    Or should I say NOT TREATED

    re ‘I had every intention of getting some crochet done last night, but we settled down to watch a film and I slept through the entire thing, with my crochet on my lap! Better luck this evening, I hope!’
    That sounds very familiar to me Kathy
    ‘trying to get anywhere with France Telecom and Orange is a real challenge!’
    LOL you’d have to go out of your way to find a worse combination than those 2 Kathy!
    I hope the nice weather is helping you to feel better
    The swallows sound almost human, actually that’s an insult to them ... they sound lovely!
    I love all the birds in the garden, family say it’s a wonder they can still fly, cos I’m always feeding them
    Your blogs lookin good!

    Re ‘We're thinking about getting a couple of goats but need to do some more research first.’


    Have a look here
    http://www.allgoats.com/

    My SIL used to have a few b4 she moved to Cyprus ...they were Pygmys tho
    ... so cute ... (the goats that is! )

    Not all breeds of goats are good grazers, but some, such as Angoras and Boers graze well, Goats generally prefer to browse and like to vary their diet with more fibrous foods.
    Hay is the staple really ... like horses they love it
    If you need grass kept down, geese or sheep are better and you could have you’re own wool :j:j

    re ‘can you ever have enough ........ (wool) ........ erm ........... NO!
