    Well, everytime someone sorts out a HHI/C I'm always too late for it! :rotfl:

    Procrastinator is my middle name, there's not a smurf for that is there? :rotfl:

    What's with the smurfs?

    I'm on holiday this week, so will hopefully catch up on the housework. Anyone up for a HHC 12.15-12.45?

    Jo....This one is gorgeous. Have only made it once but it was really nice. Only came across it cos I googled it myself a few months ago.

    These books are really good, I got two for £12 in Costco a while back, she's got some brilliant recipes in there.

    Right, I'm starting the wash for the bedding, and off to declutter as much as I can!

    Are they trying to tell you you don't earn enough or something? :confused: nice to see some publicity for this site tho, I sometimes feel that I am a one-woman advertisement for MSE!

    I've seen this on another thread: You could have turned some t shirts into shopping bags....here's how
    Cut off the sleeves or just use the vest type T shirts
    sew the front and back of t shirt together, across the bottom
    Cut round the neck to make a bigger opening to put your shopping in
    The shoulder seams become the handles

    I like the idea, but don't understand about the shoulder seams being the handle - can anyone explain it to me?

    I've still not done any flying, sorry. Am going to watch the news to see what happened y'day, according to the Jeremy Vine show there was a lot of football violence. And then I'm going for a snooze and then maybe I will do some flying! Maybe!
