    'tis the first haircut I've managed to book in around 2 years so guess I'm about due :rotfl:
    I normally drift between looking like wonky donkey when I chop it myself and cousin IT so it'll be nice to be pampered..

    Busy cleaning and sorting out still have come across a brand new george foreman used once and sat in cupboard gathering dust so thats coming with me :D *obviously freshly cleaned!!!*

    Vouchersrme great you are another Morsbagger! You will have to tell me all about your Pod! I am no longer doing it now, so the pillowcases that I would have used for Morsbag instead will go to Annie for the Gambia.

    See you all soon! x
    Finally I'm an OAP and can travel free (in London at least!).

    Annie I don't have any pillowcases but I do have copious amounts of kiddies fabrics :D Will add them to the pile..at this rate we'll have to meet up outside to unload first :rotfl:

    I've been in the loft today and unearthed some more treasures I found some cookery books and crafty usborne kids ones so they're coming too as one of them (kenwood chef) I seem to have another copy of and thats without the spare I gave my mum :o
    Blossom the hoarding thread was made for me!!

    I've been trying to get < or = a fat quarter of cowboy print cotton fabric; if anyone has any to spare I'd be glad of it please (I'll bring some fabric too so I am not depriving Gambian children, who I have looked up on the web and who look very chuffed with their pillowcase dresses)

    Blossom I probably have everything else but cowboy fabric :( but I do have some cabin/bear stuff methinks will have a rummage tbh its been so long since I traded on Ebay I forget what I have! If not I'll be ordering from the states soon so will have a little looksee what my ladies have :D

    Annie is it just girls or boys too? Having boys I seem to have more boys stuff but some is unisex (shrek etc)

    Fabric is one of my passions :o I have pieces I just can't bear to use..or am I just strange ? :D

    Thanks D&DD - no not too strange, but that could be a hoarding marker, as you could be too afraid of the end product not being "perfect" enough - in which case our remedy would be to tell you to "feel the fear and do it anyway" :rotfl:

    I think what makes it worse Blossom is the fact that the majority of my fabric is by a designer whos stuff is discontinued/retired when she has new collections so I know I'll probably not be able to source certain designs ever again.
    If I know I can get more I'm fine :D:D

    *I'm not weird really folks honest* you'll all be hiding behind the trays in Ikea :rotfl:

    Oooh, fellow baggers! Angie from Hardy's Angels here, though I've moved on a bit too & tend to do Furoshiki bags now, although I do still make Morsbags or go bagging in public at green events occasionally.

    Sadly I'm too far from Croydon to make a meet there, but wondering whether anyone else is near enough to the Southampton IKEA to make a meet-up there viable sometime?

    Only made the pillow case dresses, as they are quick, easy and cheap to make.

    As DS is now 32 and step DD is 22 I no longer have any kids fabrics to offer anyone.

    Will bring an assortment of stuff though, I must have more [STRIKE]carp[/STRIKE] useful stuff than all of you put together as every room has a pile of stuff in it. Not to mention the 16 boxes in the loft unpacked and untouched from 1993 when we moved here :eek: I will open them one day!
