Started to crochet a scarf for a present, it's over a ft and a half long but it's too wide

I gave it the benefit of the doubt for a while but I'm just not happy with it! It's crochet double strand so quite thick, it definitely needs a few inches off the width! I think it's going to be started again!

Annoyed at a few days work wasted, but it's better to start again that not be happy with it. Good job I started the xmas knitting in September :T

hiya all

finally finished sorting kitchen cupboards properly....... even cleared 1 out for Xmas odds n ends.
Need to sort out a list of christmas food as its just me and OH this year have bought stuffing so thats a start.

Really not happy that my local asda have nothing Christmas related in apart from tins of quality street and celebrations ........... im getting bored of waiting.

Does it seem a bit stingy to be giving mother in law a post it note holder and a pot of gold for Xmas??? We usually send a voucher but wanted something different this year.

Hope everyone is having loads of fun getting organised.

anyone else having problems with dooyoo today? I have just loggged on to find my account is wiped clean of my dooyoo miles, I had 43000 in there :mad: none of my reviews are locked and I've had no email from them to say why they have wiped my miles, I am so annoyed!!

Oh my god the same has happened to me, I had a £20 Amazon voucher on order and when the next set of points cleared it was another £20 voucher to claim.

Have emailed them, awaiting reply.

I logged on this morning and they were there, theyve gone this afternoon, I'm wondering if its someone whos be spying and noticed that we put our user names on here?

If anyone hears 1st, is there any chance you could put the message on.
Cheers

you think that they would have sent an email or something if they were going to clear all our points, I had an email when one of my reviews was locked as they didn't think it was long enough!! :eek: naughty me lol.

there's a thread on MSE here which seems as though it's happened to all dooyoo users though so hopefully they will fix it
