    We used to keep chookies -- we loved them and they became sooo tame then one sad, bad night we all collecticvely forgot to shut them away and Briar Fox came visiting . It took us ages to get over it as we felt so guilty having let them down so badly.


    Well It is DD1'S birthday today -- where did those years go. I am only having a quick peep on here as we have to go to her best friends wedding at 1.00 . She is chief bridesmaid so a lovely way to spend her birthday. Thanks for the good wishes

    AND THEN
    2 WEEKS TODAY ITS DS'S WEDDING !!! wOOHOO !!
    So its fingers firmly crosses for a dry day like it is here today.

    I did all the features on the hedgehogs last night ! 1 looks more like an Aadvark !! Sme pulling out methinks !!

    Hope you had a great evening Kathy.

    Going to have a look at the ripple pattern as need to break obsession with hedgehogs. So many names beginning with "h" !!!

    Right must go and MOT myself in the shower. I love weddings -- must not drink too much champagne/cava or anything else that sparkles !!!!
    Try and do a good deed every day.

    :mad:

    Hi everyone (I posted this yesterday on the wrong forum - I think all the ironing I did yesterday steamed by brain - so I apologise this should have been on here yesterday!!!)

    maytaurus - sorry its a bit late but a very happy birthday and I hope you have had a good day xx ps loved your last pics

    shaz - big hugs from me hope you are hanging in there and thinking of you ! xx

    shezmit - great idea with the 5p's collection - will join in - have you put an end date on this (donate as much as you get) or is it ongoing until you get the £700? good on you for going round the hospitals with samples - I am sure you will let us know what you need xx

    Im off to watch recorded eastenders - then its Gordon Ramsey on 4 + 1 at 10.00 - should be enough time to finish a Bunting

    Love to you all xx

    PS I would like it noted that I have undertaken 2 (ish) hours of ironing today with another weeks worth still to do :mad::mad: but hey the large man and the small man are now wearing clothes :rotfl::rotfl:

    k2tog I was just looking at the lovely donations on shezmit's site and saw your lovely buntings (April donation) they have a slightly different pattern to the one's that I cobble together - are they crocheted? or knittted - if they are knitted can you let me know the pattern - thanks f1widow xxxxx
