Hi Mooloo - I've finished my bag made from plastic. can;t work out how to put a photo on here but have changed by avatar to show it. Its lined with some old material I had and is reinforeced with some recycled Board!!.

Hope you have had a good weekend

That looks great Surfbabe.:T:T
You have to put photographs onto something like photobucket then you can link them accross. At least thats how Idid it in the end.
I over did the sewing on Friday, (and the computer work). Had my head in an awkward position for too long!).
BF came to see me yesterday afternoon, and we have been out for a drive both days in his little car, as he came over in it. ! Love driving in it, but I cannot move much now, as the jolts etc, and the wind resistance against my neck is a bit of a nuisance afterwards.
There will be no sewing for me tonight thats for sure.
BF has just gone back to Oxford.
My parents are back in England. Will be home tomorrow.
Havent seen or heard from my son since mid week.? Teenagers! THey don't seem to understand that we worry.
Twin 2 rang me yesterday asking me to take over some milk and nappies, but I dont have my car back. Biggest of Mooloo's BF has taken it for its MOT and it needs some bushes or something done.
I told her she will have to borrow from her sister.
Feel guilty that I cannot help, but they should have learned by now that they need milk and nappies all the time.!

I saw a little satin drawstring bag, in Stoney Stratford this afternoon used for lingerie? £15.90 !!!
Now thats definitely something that I can make too!.
(When I am better that is!!).:o
Yesterday we drove to Daventry. Lots of Charity Shops there! I bought a piece of polycotton fabric there, around about 4 1/2 yards for the princely sum of £2. Very bright summer prints. Reminds me of Loud Shirts!! But I love it.
It did get me thinking though, that perhaps I need to be thinking ahead for the winter and preparing to make things that will be useful in the cooler climes!
I think I will need to sort out a shelf unit etc to store my fabrics until the time is right to use them.
Now I will have to stop as typing is getting difficult.
Back when I feel able to communicate again.! (or move!!!:rotfl:)

Hope your neck and arm start to feel more comfortable soon. Would it be worth asking your physio for a set of exercises to do especially targetted to your sewing activity ?

Could you negotiate a deal with him? If he wants to continue to live with you as his 'base' then he has to let you know a couple of times a day that he's ok ?

Thanks. I am not seeing a physio at the moment, I havent been able to get out of the village to see one. I will have to hope that I will get the car sorted out properly soon!.

The reason I havent heard from DS is that he no longer has a mobile phone, When he fell out with his mate last week, he took the phone off of him. (As usual he had broken his original phone, and his so called mate gave him an old one of his!. But at that age of childhood, give me back my toy!).
I will have to buy him a cheap phone. We do have family connection on the phones so when he does get another phone, we can be intouch even if he doesnt have credit then.
I am trying not to panic about his lack of communication. Telling myself that he must be alright or I would have heard!! :mad:
When he finally comes home I will be sitting him down and telling him the rules from now on!. Contact daily!l But also that the school holidays are over and he must go and sign on at Connextions and all the other things that he has to do to get work. My income is about to drop by £117.56 a week, now he has finished school.

My landlord has just knocked on the door, to tell me that the estate agents are drawing upthe agreement about changing the lease to a on going lease, that means I can stay here as long as I like really. Both parties would need to give 2 months notice to vacate. But I cannot see that happening on his side, as the place has been rented out for years.
He also told me he has no problem about me doing sewing from here.
Then he said he is still trying to get hold of the chimney sweep for me.
:T
I feel much more at home here then I have anywhere else since I lost my home in 1995! And I have lived in a lot of places since then!. this is the 11th place I have lived in since 1995!!!

My daughter,who is six, has been counting sleeps for the last few months. Funny how children see the world.

Erm....when he's working away, me & OH count sleeps until we see each other again....:o

Well I am not the most technically minded and it has just taken me about 3 hours to try and get my pictures of the last lot of cushions onto etsy. I have officially got an etsy shop now, with only 3 items for sale, but its just a way of testing out Mooloo on the internet.!
DS has finally been intouch, he is at another band members house in MK!! But he will be back later today.
I had to get hold of one of the boys that twin1 went out with, and ask him if he had seen DS, then 5 mins later I got the call. So I can relax.
Now its lunchtime, and then I will get on sewing. I think the gardening will have to wait now, until its a little cooler.
Part of me just wants to lay out there and sunbathe, but the grass is too long, and I really need to think about earning some money and not just spending it.
I will have to "pretend" to be at work and get some things to sell! (And stop giving things to my children!).

I count the days between seeing BF and the next time we see eachother. Bu I have found that I get depressed if I do that. It seems a lot longer when I think about it. I do try to think that we will see each other soon.

I must admit it tends only to be thought about when it's only a few days left, for example I won't see him now until 28th August, but I won't add up the sleeps until about the 25th or 26th so it doesn't bother me so much!

See you managed to find me then? I better get my act together and sort out what I am going to make and put on here.
I need to sort out the page though. I hadnt a clue what to write or how to set things up. Not even sure if I got the pricing etc right as its in dollars?

Cut short my sewing today as Biggest of Mooloo's came and picked me up, and I went to see my "parrots" as we call my parents, and then one of her friends who is a hair dresser cut my hair for me, so I saved £15 on the salon I was originally going to have done last week, and had to cancel.
:T:T
Mum brought me back a little bracelet, and a class perfume bottle, as well as a dream catcher, so I have felt like it was christmas today.
The car is going to cost me quite a bit, but I have to get it done, so I will have to source the parts for Biggest of Moo's BF to fix for me, but I have the car until the weekend as thats when he will be able to do it. (Fingers crossed).
DS is now not coming home tonight. He left a message on the answermachine that his knees are bad and he cant kick start the bik, so he will be back early tomorrow morning. He has a Connexions meeting tomorrow at 11.30!!
My dinner is in the slow cooker, just cooking the potatoes to go with it. So I am really hungry now!.:o

When I had eaten my dinner, at around 10pm!!I decided to start sewing again, and I finished the little nightdress that I was making. So it was 12.30am by the time I went to bed.
DS did not get home this morning intime for his connextions meeting. Infact he only just got home about 15 minutes ago. I blew my stack. He cannot see that he is doing anything wrong, and he just answered me back and told me I was wrong and I didnt understand.
I cannot see how he can be actively seeking work, if he is not getting up until mid day. Not coming home for days, (wearing the same clothes too long is not ideal for searching for jobs/courses / or what ever.). He doesnt seem to understand that I love him, and I worry that he is in a ditch somewhere!!!!!
I really feel like throttling him sometimes.
He is upstairs on the telephone now. I told him to call the man from connextions and then his Dad, as he rang this morning looking for him.
His Dad told me that twin1 has left her baby with twin2's BF, and gone with that friend I dont like to get a tattoo!!.
I really donot understand my family anymore. What about bills, and debts???? What about the money they owe me?
Steam is coming out of my ears at the moment. And my laptops key pad is knackered and I am finding it frustratingly slow to type.

Perhaps not one of my better days.
