Jinks - I spend every day on here :rotfl: Can't have you getting bored of me
skint - have to say, i've just googled right angled weave and I don't reckon I'll be a natural - seems you need a lot of patience....:eek:...I have had so many half finished craft projects over the years that I've got bored of it's unbelievable - tapestry, rug making etc I rush them because I want them finished, I hate fiddly detail...:o...my airfix models were always pants!!!!!! :rotfl:
Like you say - might as well do courses whilst I'm getting WTC, it qualifies me for massive chunks off the fees and although it feels weird doing something for myself, I am at least doing something.
What I really fancy doing is a silver jewellery or a metal jewellery course and making a modernist style chunky necklace but we don't run them. I'll start with a pile of little beads instead"Stay Wonky":D

and I think that's great - you've come a long way in a year! massages and doing stuff for fun? who would have thought it! we all need a bit of balance in our life (mine literally as I'm starting yoga later) to keep us sane.
I got a silver by mail catalogue in this morning and sat drooling for a while but you could make some...Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

my calling? I always thought I'd make a good nun
I wasn't very eloquent when I walked into the pile of laminate samples in the hall in the dark the other night. The pile OH seems to have abandoned here because he doesn't know which he wants and I forgot they were just outside the bedroom door. The pile I walked into because he phoned and wanted a lift back after being on the pish all night .
Eloquent I was not..........:eek::rotfl::D"Stay Wonky":D

have to say skint - I have come a long way and am doing things I've never dreamed I'd be able to. It's 2 years on Monday that I left my last job and the !!!!!! that Cruella put me through. I was such a mess, too scared to even go to the supermarket, cooking the same things fromteh same stuff delivered each week, going through the same routine every day just to literally survive, not even having the confidence to go for a really basic job:(
Occasionally when looking for other paperwork and I go through my documentation box I see some of the evidence I put forward as part of my grievance against her after I left and it doesn't make pretty reading.
Long time since I cried over it all, but for some reason I am at the moment."Stay Wonky":D

^^^ you are getting your za, za, za zoom back!
Sorry you cried but at least you don't have to go back to work for Cruella, this time next year who knows where you will be? In a fab job that pays all the bills and leaves some to play with I hope and with some interesting new hobbies...Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000
