Thanks Valli, if you want to send it with the others I can cope till then

BTW does anyone know if cotton stretches at all? This hat is cotton and says to reshape whilst damp and I'm wondering if I wet it and then stretch it around something it'll get bigger?

Hi - I guess you've probably solved this one by now - but I would say that cotton will appear to stretch when worn for a while. It will seem to shrink when washed and dried - then stretch back to its original size when worn (like jeans). It's worth a try before you attack it with scissors and elastic!

Hiya :wave:

mudders fab idea, I'd be thrilled to get one for xmas
Gryfon sounds like a lovely day out, we do that too, buy KFC then go down to the river and scoff it in the car (it's nicer than it sounds)

Thanks everyone for their concern re: the driving *mwah* I went after all that but it wasn't too bad, better on the way back cause the main roads had cleared by that time, slushy everywhere else though, hope it doesn't freeze....Sarah I'm virtually sending by telepathic vibes some snow for your kids :cool:

Picked up some milk whilst I was at the P.O. posting the flylady cards to lil_me I've never been so organised :A Thanks lil_me for doing it *mwah* you're a star! Really need to get to Asda though but it'll have to wait unfortunately.....hope there's some food in the house lol

Flying? Zilch! didn't even do the kitchen when I said I would there's time yet, I'm waiting for a sudden burst of motivation to come my way.

glad you got there and back OK embb - I'm waiting for a sudden burst too... if you get yours first, could you send some my way please...

Just writing out cards now - have done 10 so far, not sure if they'll all fit in the envelope tho!!!

ETA: Oooh, lil_me - I don't need to put the full address on the envelopes do I??? Doh!

Ok daft question time.:D

I have ‘done’ my family tree, at the moment it is on several bits of paper, and a nightmare to work out who belong with who etc.:rotfl:

Ideally I want to put it onto a CD Rom or similar / computer programme

So who else had a family tree and how are you ‘storing it/ adding to it?

Many thanks

no help i'm afraid I have all mine on bits of paper, OH did do his on ancestry when they had afree trial offer but he didnt take it up when the offer expired.

Kazwookie - just de-lurking for a moment (sorry, I knew I'd be rubbish at posting...) on this in case I can help. I've put mine on the GenesReunited website, I think it's quite good that you can give access to other members of the family to your tree if they're interested, or even to more distant relations who are working on other branches. They should be able to help you find out more as well. I can't remember if they charge for this but if they do it's quite a small amount.
Will go back to lurking again now :wave:........hopefully will get round to posting again before tooooo long!

I turn up to family events with a carrier bag with the bits of paper, and everyone knows what is coming, I am sure they leg it to the toilets.

My family is so displaced all over the place, and this part of the family does not talk to that part etc etc.

It is hard work to keep up with new babies /etc. and with 2 deaths recently, it seems my generation is now nearly the 'old' ones!

Old father tyme is marching on

I need help, even the sellotape holding it together has dried out :rotfl:

Gryfon Nice to hear you sounding more perky. Good for you babes. Also, good news on sexy hats, and well fitting boots!

Embb Thanks for the virtual snow vibes. Fingers crossed here!

Lil_me Thanks for that suggestion Re: Debenhams, I'll have an investigate.

Flower I hope your nap was as lovely as mine!


SC lamb in rich gravy and potatoes for tea... can't wait. :drool:

I didn't - I just put the MS names on the envelopes. Lil_me is going to put all the ones for each person in a separate envelope and then address the outside envelope (if you understand my incoherent waffle :rotfl:)

Just picked up my recorded delivery. It was a parcel of ink cartridges which they tried to deliver yesterday but I was out. I only ordered them the day before, so that's good service (and they are dirt cheap too - and work well!)
