Sunnyday - microfibre towels are wonderful! They wash really easily (but don't use fabric conditioner), dry in no time and are absolutely the bees knees when it comes to drying things. They are the most marvellous tea towels and hand towels, I got mine from Lakeland and they have washed, dried, been used and have been absolutely amazing for many years. I was given some microfibre bath towels from TJHughes and they are the most efficient bath towels ever.

You may gather that I think microfibre towels are useful.

Don't just save them for doggies (although dear friends need good towels as well) but I would seriously recommend them for human people as well. If they have any more in the pound shop I would definitely stock up, and I may pop into my local pound shop this weekend just to check for any to get for 'spares'

????1 boob????
mioliere - I meant to ask yesterday, but I forgot. 1 boob? You made a boob?

Hi oldMcdonald! Yes, I made a boob. You may know of our charity knitting thread on here? Well, we are also members of www.lovinghands.org.uk and they are running a Pimp my Boob competition which arose from a scheme for knitting breasts which are used to help teach people how to breast feed. Someone on their forum sent in a knitted breast but decided to put a face on it first. This gave Lou, the group's leader, the idea of asking people to send in knitted breasts decorated any way we want. They will be judged then used to raise money for charity. There's an easy pattern you can ask for and the breasts are very realistic. Mine has been sitting on my coffee table and has become a conversation stopper! In fact, my BIL has asked for a pair for Christmas! (Yes, he is a bit strange!)

Thankyou for the idea.:j

Thank you AnnieBL, VickyA & Troo--- I couldn't even begin to figure out what it meant. I like it!! lol...

SD, you haven't been standing outside catching the rain then?? You don't realise how much you miss running water till you haven't got it....

Glimpses of blue sky outside, still drinking tea & trying to get myself moving. Middle DD wants to go into town - but not for anything particular. Might take niecelet up to my mum's then go in for a little while after that. Have a freecycler coming around 3 for the last couple of items (for now ).
Maybe I might begin to tackle my craft stuff so I can actually do something before I go back to Uni (7 weeks left, aargh) after which I will have no life & no time for anything until next June.

Hello everyone!

Didn't sleep at all well last nite, went to bed at 11.45, then up at 2.30, came downstairs to watch some olympics and then fell asleep on sofa till 5, then back tobed, until woken up by DD with a screaming fit at 7.20:mad: girls can be such bl**dy little madams at times:rolleyes:

anyway no rushing about today, just started to make a bread pudding - juliejim - once you start making them everyone wants one! Seeing what else needs using up date wise! Got loads of desert apples too - but no point in making any cakes as I've just had to throw out some muffins!

Would have been my dear old dad's birthday today, he died 24 yrs ago.:o

Apart from that - What an exciting day in the shez household:rolleyes: :rotfl: (sorry it's such a boring post)

pennypincher -tea? cake? paper? sounds heaven!! Don't complain - I wouldn't mind my mum spoiling me for abit:D make the most of it!;)
Aussie - Cruise sounds lovely!!!
VickyA - yes I did join readitswapit, but I haven't got any books on there at the moment!
joannasmum - have a good holiday, forecast is london is good for next few days, so hope it is in Wales!
catowen/mrsmix - :wave:

time for a :coffee: , have a great tuesday all xx
