    If I had separate toes on my socks my feet wouldn't fit into my shoes.........


    Lovely tale Fay, and a lovely lady she sounds too. :D

    woohoo on the loan

    woohoo about the socks. I have to say I got a bit emotional when you wrote the story behind them. What a fantastic friend to have.

    And I love that you have over the knee ones. But i am guessing they might be a necessity rather than a fashion statement in your part of the world

    was feeeling very bleugh too, have dicky tummy and no one else has :confused: So don't know what I ate. I mean hell I am the cook so you would think we would All get it...

    Hope you have a good day, and that you got to 10000 words last night

    I want a job that is less than an hour driving away from my house! Are you listening universe?

    Morning all
    One stem measured, chopped and now cooking in the oven

    Be done in about 4 days

    Willow for tea anyone?

    90,000 to go :)

    PS my over the knee almost thigh length socks - would probably be mid calf on Piq........and hi Chev - yup the power of the socks - :) hope no one minded me sharing the story of their coming to be :)

    Regular willow updates - 5 plants all cooking nicely now - 32 stems - average 0.5kg per plant

    HI, just popped in to say hello and hope everyone is doing ok.
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J
