    ooh, greenbee are you coming to visit??

    lil me hope you get the name tapes done quicker than I did. Not very happy with them actually, they fray as I sew them, I'm using the smallest needle I can bear, and they are cash's ones which are not cheap. Thanks for the heads up about the roomba, tempting idea, though!
    Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x
