    Hi everyone,

    Mel, I'll miss all your encouraging posts and updates if you are going to be busy - however, I do wonder if you will be around as usual as I recall you were away on a special trip and still posted! LOL

    Hope your medical problems can be sorted easily and it's good to know your little one is fine in herself.

    I'm now going to try and find the best folder for my Houseworks holiday plan (if I don't have a nervous breakdown with the decision :D)

    Also printed off the Baileys recipe and a Windowsill pot pourri which I hope to start soon. Has anyone made one of these before?

    When I was out walking this morning I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw some printed sheets blowing around near the grass verge - they looked just like the Holiday Plan front page!! I got all excited thinking there was someone else that lives nearby that might be in our group. Of course, up close, it wasn't the same thing at all, but from the distance I could see how I was fooled, as it was the title pages for a printed folder off the internet with a similar picture!

    Just waving before I go away for the weekend.

    We're off to stay with BIL and to go to Ayr races - if I win I'll call it moneysaving if I don't it'll be OH's fault :rotfl:
    Officially a non-smoker but still rounder than recommended :p

    Evening lovely ladies.

    I think this will be my last post for a while, need to take some time out and sort my life out before it gets to a point where nothing can be salvaged from the wreckage that is me.
    So all my lovely ladies who ive classed as friends over the last few weeks and months take care, be good, stick fluff and feathers to any small birds you find, keep glittering, and little girls in hoods keep smiling, and PLM keep smiling and creating :)

    Take care my lovelys

    Em xxx
    Love is the answer. At least for most of the questions in my heart,
    Like why are we here? And where do we go?And how come it's so hard?
    It's not always easy,And sometimes life can be deceiving,
    I'll tell you one thing, its always better when we're together

    well it's that time of week again when I say....'thank goodness it's Friday', goes round quick doesn't it!

    Last night was out at big 2's prizegiving at school, they were both getting prizes........1st in grumpiness and a merit in untidiness!! They would win hands down if that was the case!! It is quite a long service usually but there were some super musical breaks. Grumpy son is in school band and they were superb.

    Today work and then tonight......wait for it Mhagster goes out and about!! Meeting my friends for dinner tonight and looking forward to a good catch up with them and some yummy food of course. OH has been away all week and was supposed to be home today but is now not home till tomorrow so kids are getting sent to my mum's for evening. Which is not ideal as I will have to clock watch ..........well you know what happened to cinderella!

    Okay must go and get ready for taking dd2 to school, have a lovely day everyone.

    Well I better get on, hope everyone is having a nice friday..hugs to all who need or want one.

    Well after reformatting my hard drive yesterday the pc spent most of this morning updating windows so while it was busy I actually got the sewing machine down and took it to bits and put it back together and hey presto it works again. I am well happy now. Assembled another patchwork bag for one fo the nieces, just need tohand sew the lining in. Nearly stitched up the nest one too but run out of cotton. Luckily eldest daughter is off to the big town today so I have given her a shopping list and hope she doesnt forget to go in the sewing shop.

    Was having a look on the IWOOT web site to see what to get with my voucher. Am thinking to get something extra for youngest daughter for Xmas and quite like the personal ATM money box as I think it would help her save her money. Its an extra £5 over the voucher and I havent looked what the postage is like yet.

    Hi Rufusdog

    Think the postage was just short of a fiver £4.95?? was having a look on the other night, they wont let you use the voucher to pay for P&P either so anyone looking your better of getting something for the £20 value or just over. I did notice they sell paper voucher so anyone not seeing anything they want or wanting to give the voucer as a pressie could send for them.

    Glad you got your sewing machine sorted they bags sound really nice I love patchwork stuff, wish I could do it.
