I'm in again - though it's parents' evening tomorrow so I won't be home til late!

Guess who went to football without her season ticket and had to [STRIKE]run [/STRIKE]walk rather quickly back home to get it and, consequently, arrived at the match 10 minutes after kick-off ........ :rolleyes:

Oh well - was a good match and I may have had a San Miguel or two in the pub afterwards

I have tried to catch up with last week's and this thread but am sure I've missed stuff! I would like to say that I am not from Lancashire or Yorkshire, nor are any of my family, nor have we ever lived there

Valli - I may join you in your MACAW as I tend to have a bag of school stuff to sort on a regular basis (and I don't even have a desk!!)

Hugs and / or alcohol to anyone who wants / needs one (or two!)
Off to find the list now ............

Oooh, you beat me to it Pigpen - Valli, what on earth does gnomic stand for? I'll have to look that up I think...:D

I'm back in this week! Just trying to catch up with all the posts (a forlorn hope, I think LOL!).

Clearing up the spare room could be tricky..........all the new tiles for the kitchen are carefully stashed in there, along with the under-cupboard lighting and the wood wainscoting - we did a Big DIY shop using a 15% off B&Q voucher that they sent us via email. We also got 10% off in Homebase on the worktops and tiles (their 10% off weekend), plus a further 10% as they took longer than 2 mins to turn up at the Wood Cutting Area where you order the worktops from. We also ordered our new hob from Comet, who were having a Grand Opening at their revamped Farnborough store and got 10% off that too!
So my Monday will be spent clearing out the eaves room (aka the "throw it in here 'cos no-one can see it" room) and my sewing & crafts cubby hole!

Hugs to all who want or need one - going to shut down and go for an early night - my hands are cramping 'cos I'm knitting a Christmas Gnome (one of Alan Dart's patterns) using double knit wool and Very Small Needles!

I'm back in slowly this week..thanks for the list Pigpen

Did a bit of Christmas shopping with DH today & then spent the rest of the time decluttering..amazing what a charity bag or two through the door will do:rotfl:

Want to get the LR cleared so I can think about putting the deccies up some time this week...still have another week until I go to the hospital so trying to keep my mind occupied.


Valli thanks for the jokes, made me giggle:T

Hugs to all xx
