I've just asked on freecycle for a sewing machine! I'll get my mum to teach me to make things. And I've sorted a few old tops, a skirt and 3 bags for ebay.

Can people pm their ebay names please? I've only got Goan and PF. Thank you.

yep lol, it's for guides - they want to do the first aid badge, which i think is a good idea, but ideally dont' wanna have to teach them..am hoping some friendly st johns volunteer will offer to help by coming to the meeting lol..

and glad it got there safely magpye

You're miles from me aren't you? Otherwise I could have done it.

alex / magpye..post went at lunch also!

Yay! You are officially my Dealer of Lovely Things.

daisy - the parcel should have gone in today's post. I completely failed to get to the post office yesterday so have left it with a trusty person who should have taken it today

daisybella

Caroline- I hope you get a sewing machine

Alex- thank you!

ARg! so much for my wishful thinking of being able to cram it into 1 night lol
The lovely man on the phone thinks we should be able to fit it all into 4 sessions..and that i am perfectly qualified enough to do it myself, but they will happily lend me the dummies..

Would defnitely have taken you up on it Caroline, but you are miles and miles away

Good luck with the sewing machine, i love mine, even though i don't use it enough and am fairly self-taught..there's a definite sense of satisfaction though when you have made something pretty all by yourself!

Char,

I got a little package in the post today. Thank you...they are such great fun! I'm delighted!

Ohh Char, my Mum has worn her bird brooch in to work, you may suddenly get inundated with requests

Bummer on being qualified enough to do it yourself (you know what I mean haha)

I might start blogging when i'm feeling better with myself. Though i'm not very exciting! I think I look quite nice in the mirror but usually the pictures say otherwise, maybe I need a new camera? haha

Will be putting lots of things on ebay next wednesday: size 5 shoes and size 8/10 clothes mainly. Having a few problems on ebay atm, been called a "thief and a liar" which is pretty uncalled for.

Today is another lazy day. Just wearing blue jeggings and primark 3/4 sleeve white top with red stripes. My matching underwear is making me feel better though, hehe

what is it with matching undies eh they alway lift my mood too- though my undie drawer is in such a mess I can never find any that match- thats more info than you need to know isnt it? lol

piratefairy

lol @ retro, I have given myself tomorrow off work, and what is on my to-do list may you ask - clear out underwear drawer!!!

@daisy - tell your mum that's perfectly ok and yeah, i should be okay though, i did only do the course in Dec, so better take the first aid manual home with me tonight and get studying!

@LiR - glad you like them, think my sister came up with the idea for those ones, we have such fun with fimo sometimes

I did a pairing up and drawer tidy of top two drawers last week. Bottom two are terrible, and stuffed everything I didn't know what to do with in there to make it worse.
