It’s taken hours to read through all I’ve missed
Not to mention my very long post ...... here goes
Sorry I haven’t been around; my M.E. has been really bad
Welcome to all newbies who have joined in my absence and

all of you on the amount of work you’ve managed to complete

mioliere and SGT
Thanks for your messages & caring, they really cheered me up, I just hadn’t got the energy to reply .... sorry
I’m afraid I’ve just been really bad and asleep most of the time, but



I’m here to annoy you all now !

Re mioliere ’as I'm moving abroad, I don't know yet where all the wool shops are!’
I don’t know exactly where you will be, but there’s a Phildar one here
PHILDAR PARTHENAY
Centre Commercial Leclerc
58 rue L!onard de Vinci
79200 PARTHENAY


Congratulations on your move to France, leaving date 21st March !
BON VOYAGE

Make sure you take plenty of wool with you
Thinking of you and I hope all goes well Good luck
Any room for an extra person?
Re ‘We hope to be able to end up with a house here and a smaller holiday home in France, so fingers crossed’
That would be really good, I hope you can sort it out
Re ‘the internet connection is one of the things I shall put in place before we get there, so that I can set the PC up asap and come back on here! I'm hoping that it won't be long before I am back to normal!
I should think so !
But please don’t be NORMAL
“To be normal is the ideal aim of the unsuccessful.”Carl Jung
“Normal is not something to aspire to, it's something to get away from.”Jodie Foster




Please add 2 baby hats, 2 blankets, 1 pair of mittens and 1 baby cardi
redhead mum re quote;
‘you can't fool us, we all know that really you're just trying to evade the employment tribunal re. Maytaurus' terrible working arrangements!
This is so true l-o-l
mioliere re
‘Maytaurus will get Interpol after me so I won't escape the employment tribunal. I'm thinking that maybe I could buy her silence by offering her the sort of pension that we are hearing about in the news at the moment!’
Free accommodation in France is far more likely to work!
shezmit re your bungee jump
You are so brave!
I would like to make a donation, I could send it with my parcel
Well done on raising so much £
I will get my other half to post a parcel to you ,
but it will probably be on Monday now, sorry
mrs-moneypenny re
i made a sailors hat but my mistake was the opposite to yours my hat ended up so big it would have only fitted a rastafarian sailor with a huge head of dreadlocks. it was MASSIVE
Did it look like this then?



f1widow and Aeshna
Thanks for the advance warning about the F1 season
I won’t be expecting much from my OH then
roamin in the gloamin re ‘this thing called dust?’
Do you leave yours for 6 month periods then?
I don’t know about Quentin Crisp, but
Claire Raynor said ‘life’s too short to move dust from place to place’
I’ve seen her home............ she meant it!

So so sorry to hear you have M.E.

I suppose it's something you have to experience to really understand things like how, just combing your hair or lifting your fork can hurt so much
makes me feel a bit like the penguin l-o-l

the pattern is http://www.bonniebabies.co.uk/new%20bunting.htm. I didn't want to do just plain knit as I get a bit bored.

ETA just realised its knit one below (I think)

Would it maybe be knit one behind - ie knit into the back of the stitch instead of the front - to give a wee bit of pattern ? or am I having one of my `daft` moments ?

Glad you are back with us

Maytaurus - Nice to see you back :wave: I just love your posts. Hope your ME has settled down a bit now.
I looked at moonglow too and am very tempted,its such a great price.
I feel a bit sad to think the baby knits may be banned and like everyone else I hope they dont ban them, we all know that baby clothes are delicate and we take every care with them.Ah well we will have to wait and see, Shelley has said she will keep us up to date

K2tog - thanks for the redicut link, its in my favourites now, I had a quick look through and there are so many great bargains... ooo I love a bargain. I can see I will have to go get another plastic wool box,a LARGE one

Kathy - I love the pic Maytaurus has put of you departing these fair shores nice heels, and very chic hat :rotfl:

Nothing to add today but have started a cardi.

We are off out to DS2 and DIL's now, they have just rung and OH told them we would go over, and if its what I think and hope it is.....I will have the most amazing, wonderful news to share with you all, if thats ok??
oooo I am all excited now.

Which is probably why we have it :rotfl::eek:
