No Money Mummy to Millionaire Mummy!!

I would sue them, especially as they made no effort to check you were ok, a good bit of TLC goes along way to easing the aches, being ignored exacerbates them

And again check small print on car MOT cover and compare prices with other companies, I think the AA does an MOT cover too.

Hellooooooooooooooo!

I am happier again today.

Re Read the MOT thing and you have to have aken it out 90 days before MOT so its irrelevant to me now anyway!

Had a lovely meal out, really good value for a fiver. Came home and went to bed with a hot choccy and we watched "The High Life" do any of you remember it? Its about 2 air stewards with air Scotia and its got Alan Cumming in it. It is soooooooooooooooo funny and made me laugh again so now I am happy.

Today I am knitting Easter chickens. Ordered some fluffy yellow wool on Ebay, made a fluffy red rock chick one for my cousin and a cute fluffy pink one for my friend. They are so easy to make and I am going to shove an cheep cheep (ha ha get it!) Easter egg up their bums! :easter_os

Hmmmmm think I will write to co-op about their blase attitude and send them a photo of my knee as its come up a lovely colour this morning!

Pips_Mum

Heres my first lot of chickys. Im really pleased with them. The wool Ive ordered is the same as the red one so I think they will look even cooler!!

They are lovely! I especially like the red one.

They absolutely brilliant, are they really easy to make? Where did you get the pattern from? Was thinking i could one each for my DS5 classmates for Easter and DD3 nursery group if they not really complicated.

Pips_Mum

They are so easy to make and I have been using up odd balls of wool, although I have ordered some fluffy yellow eyelash yarn to make some more.

The pattern is knitted in one piece of garter stitch (just ordinary knitting!)

• Cast on 26 sts.

• Knit 28 rows in Garter stitch

• New Row – K2 tog, all across row.

• Break off yarn leaving an end long enough to thread through remaining stitches.
• Cast off onto the piece of yarn.

• Pull up remaining 13 stitches tightly and fasten off.

• Stitch with a back seam then thread a running stitch through at this point to form neck.

• [FONT=&quot]Stuff head then pull up thread at neck and fa[/FONT][FONT=&quot]sten off tightly.[/FONT]

I have used stick on goggle eyes that I had but you could easily just stitch them on. I also used some leftover felt to make beaks.
I have made all 3 in the last 2 days.

Mine are quite big, large enough to put a small egg under, you know like a buttons one or something liike that. You could scale it down to make them smaller so for a cadburys creme egg, be cheeeeeper for a whole class then!

Ditto - that red is so funky xx

Glad you like them. The new wool i ordered is yellow and fluffy and glittery so I cant wait, hope it comes soon! I also started to knit a cute teddy for my mum for Mothers Day, but Im going to pause for a moment on it and start a mini bear for my friend who goes into hospital on Tuesday. Again they are really easy to make and knit up very quickly.

18 things finish on Ebay today, up to £31 at the moment so keep your fingers crossed!

Pips_Mum

Well Ebay bits went for £65 in the end so big Yay! Just got to package it all and post it now boooooooooooo! Will be putting half in the hols pot and half off a CC.

I need some ideas ladies. My friend gave birth to a beautiful baby boy on the same day as Pips 1st Birthday. Sadly little James was born sleeping and Kerri is throwing herself into fundraising for SANDS. Any ideas as to how we can raise more cash? She has already organised a head shave, a charity gig and an awareness day at work. What other things could we do?
