    ;) Hi everyone :hello: how things?

    mrs-moneypenny - ok where is it then ??? can't wait to see a man with a boob on his head :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Jaqui - I know how you feel I have been there....so I am sending calming, positive thoughts your way....you can do it.....:A

    Jean - 2 mornings running I have woken up singing (in my head) "roamin in the gloamin wi a lassie by my side" my uncle was always singing it when I was a kid, and I always think of him when I see your name. :smiley:

    Shelley - Just a tip from the Post Office lady, she told OH last Friday, if you send a parcel 2nd class on a Friday it will be delivered on Monday, so it saves money on postage and arrives the same time as a first class one sent on Friday.:D

    Kathy - where are yoooooo x

    I plan to bury myself in the sofa with my knitting tonight and scoff a few thorntons which DS2 and DIL (and my new grandson) bought me for Mothers Day, I can keep chocs in the house forever as long as I dont open them....cause when I do.....well you can guess what happens then :o
    Yep thats right another half a stone on:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    enjoy the rest of your evening peeps

    Hi all – Yippee!! – it’s the weekend!

    F1 Widow, Hope you had a good trip out – not too stressful.

    I’ve been knitting variegated wool all week, found a stash of my Mums – loving it. Soooooooo many hats.

    Shelley, I have 6 boobs completed – thought I might save them ‘til I’ve finished the rest of the wool I set aside – probably another 6-9 boobs, then I’ll stuff them for you and send them off. About mid April if that’s OK.

    Maytaurus – you’re a bit quiet today – hope all’s well.

    Shazrobo – no sign of you either – are you feeling better?


    Been on Loving Hands – a lady’s posted a crochet pattern for a fabulous interwoven blanket, some peeps asking for a knitting pattern - think I can put my head around it – anyone here interested?


    PippaS
    - thanks for the tip re second class posting on Fridays.

    S-michaels
    . Thanks for the card link – sent it to a friend & she then phoned me & we had a nice chat.

    Mrs Moneypenny
    – can’t wait to see the boobhat!

    Just had 5 fish fingers & tomato sauce - yummy! (was going to have a butty - bread mouldy - yuk)

    I'm wittering again - sorry folks!

    luv

    Hi Pam,
    I would be interested in a knitting pattern for the interwoven blanket, I was so disappointed when it turned out to be crocheted. I post on LH under Lindylou.
    Have a good weekend.

    hello all...sorry not been on but had a busy week...hugs re cat pfungi...I have 4 and love them to bits and know how heartbreaking that trip to the vets is...Macey cat was sent to puss cat heaven a year and a bit ago and still cant move her ashes from the kitchen...will bury her in a plant at some point but not ready just yet...
    Just had to undo my last square as it had a hole! One day I will learn patterns etc but for now a blanket will do...how did people learn to knit I wonder?

    Had a call from the vets today and our moggy has kidney failure, I know she's old (23) and she's had a good life but the vet in a very round about way did try to tell me it's terminal. I'm just hoping that she goes in her sleep and it doesn't come to the stage where i have to decide.:cry: .

    Anyway not mush knitting done today trying to get ready for our Easter Market tomorrow. Seemed like a good idea at the time:eek:

    Pam and Craftlady, big hugs to you both, I love my kitties like babies, I know how hard it is.

    I'll check on my knits as I can't remember what I've done since last update, lol, I'll pop back later on to post my totals.

    Up far too early today to watch the racing, so I think I'll head off for a couple of hours sleep!
