Knit Your Square To Give Your Share - Part 3

blackcrow

Hi all,

yay... a coffee cream for me LC Wilson! poor little mite, have a lot of sympathy as my son was at playscheme one summer holiday when he was 6 and accidently got whacked in the face by a toy that flew out of another child's hand when he fell over... he lost half of one of his front ADULT teeth and has had to have it rebuilt over several sessions (not really so much painful as very uncomfortable and he really doesn't like dentists now). But we were lucky that he was registered with a dentist who saw him straight away and have been lovely and kind throughout. I simply cannot understand how dentists in your area would not give emergency treatment to a child, especially one in pain... utterly unforgiveable! very glad you found a dentist to treat him in the end... don't worry about his front tooth being missing for a few years, at least it was only his baby tooth and the only trouble my son has had is being unable to eat apples whole (had to have them cut into small bite size pieces until his tooth was rebuilt and had settled). Glad you got the sky TV and council tax sorted - excellent news for you!

i'm off to visit mum and dad for the weekend so a loooong 5 hr drive for me tomorrow (fingers crossed weather not too icy or snowy!). Dad was diagnosed with that dreaded C***** word last friday (he is only 58) and while he is coping well and has excellent support i will feel SO much better when i can give him a big hug in person.

hope everyone has a lovely weekend and hugs if you want them, BC x

Lorna - O my goodness I hope LO is ok poor little mite. Glad the C/Tax is sorted for you....I echo what Kinsey said how on earth do they keep their job's, and keep on getting away with speaking to people the way they do there is no excuse for rudeness,
mrs-m - Good luck with the costume. Did you get the bunny pattern from on here??? if you did could you point me in the right direction please
Jean - ok how about sharing some then No more snow here today still got a bit left from yesterday though
edit posts crossed: O Blackcrow I am so sorry to hear your news (((hugs))) for you all

The lady from the caravan site in Marldon just outside Paignton, rang yesterday and told us she has a pitch for us:j and would we go and have a look to make sure we like where it is. So we are going down tomorrow, we told our friend's and they want to come as well, their van is on the same site so we will make a day of it. Have Lunch probably a carvery then set off home. Would'nt mind popping over to Street if OH will make a small detour

Off to do some more on the baby cardi,
be good and keep warm

Me again,
Thought you might like to see the boobs I did for my Sister's friend for the charity run, I sent them unstuffed as she said it would be cheaper postage wise.
She wanted blue but I thought they looked a bit dull so I brightened them up a bit, so they would get noticed

xx Lorna, what a predicament and no dentist willing to take on the little one in agony! Still you got a great result fromt he council tax lady, as for the snotty little S.D at sky, ignore it, not worth going there, as has been said I wonder how they manage to keep a job at all with their attitude? Well done for sorting out the extra payments - plenty of wool money to come me thinks.
PippaS have a great time down at the caravan site, hope its a lovely pitch - not the one right next to the loo's. The coffee creams are in the fridge I am too cream crackered this evening to do the chocolate coating, no doubt will get around to it in the morning.The boobies are brilliant!
Shazrobo, glad you got some new shoes and boots too, lucky girl, I am pleased I was able to help, nothing worse than little choice for big feet and pay the earth into the bargain!
ISOM kept meaning to say that the babette blanket-choice of colours is fantastic, bit it will be gorgeous when all done.
Mrs Moneypenny - could you just sprinkle some talc onto some trousers and a shirt - in the hope that you could wash it all off after? Just a thought, rather than cut up good clothes.
Blackcrow, sorry to hear of your dads news, perhaps a good cuddle and a chat with him may put your mind at ease.
Chalky – just when are you sleeping? You manage an awful lot of crochet, I am so impressed.
Maytaurus, hope your doing fine this week.
Pam, if your lurking I hope your also doing fine this week.
Looks like the leccy is going to stay on for the rest of the night - there again I can practically guarantee that if I settle down to watch a film it will all go black half way through, so will just listen to the wireless instead, while I do a bit of a wee jumper. I did manage a baby blanket on the manual knitting machine today, so I have achieved something. Big cuddles to everyone, back tomorrow EDF willing

blackcrow - am so sorry to hear your sad news - dont forget we are here for a moan or chat and support - gentle thoughts and big hugs xxxx

lcw - life is harder enough as it is and would be so much easier if we did not have to deal with companies and organisations like we do - thats all you needed glad council tax sorted and good luck with sky (im a sky hater having spent errrrr hours arguing with them - they claim they have no sky complaints dept ..... not surprised there is no one "man enough" to deal with the problems they cause) - as for you toothless little man I have a niece that had one half knocked out at about the same age I think they told SIL that "second tooth" would grow at about 5 - my heart goes out to the little fellow PS may i have a virtual coffee cream if i pass you some WI Homemade fudge that im stuffing - dont hesitate to moan and groan thats what we are here for - when i read your post I was :mad: for you xxxxx

roamin - as above for lc may i swap WI homemade fudge for a coffee cream pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease xxx

pippa - mine have been blue for months :rotfl::rotfl:- Im freeeeeeezing - I think my blood goes on holiday during the winter tee hee xxxxx

chalky - do you have blisters on your hands you hook and knit sooooo fast xxxx

mrs m - oh snap - Ive just created a greek costume for the "Greek Olympics" tommorow (only trouble is when I looked it up on internet many greeks wore nothing but oil :D imagine the Heads look if DS came in true greek dress - oh arnt i wicked .......) - so mine was white sheet for tabbard - gold large chain belt (charity shop!) - and headband - complete with greek patterns round bottom of tabbard

Im going to start stocking up on old white sheets and table cloths from the charity shop its amazing what you can do with one of them for school dress up days !

Well im off to settle down (have not picked needles up yet tonight naughtly me) - have a good evening all and love and hugs to all those that are low, or poorly xxxx

Oh I forgot - ive been searching for a nice knitted edging for my blankets and wondered if anyone knows how to knit a scallop edge (or sort of half moon) - but was thinking that it could not be "holey" because of babies fingers but also would perhaps like a holey one for the blankets that are taken home by the parents in memory of the unfortunate little ones - am i making more work for myself - what do you ladies think ???? - during my search I can only find edging for "hookers" and Im only a "nit" (yes I did mean that ha ha)

Dont want much there do i ....

re;’May - if we could knit it I would gladly do you yards of energy xxx

De cluttering other people (whoops Madam Sad One!!!!) - so if we lived nearby I would gladly shift while you sat and told me where to put’
Awwww ......

I hope your hands are soon better, I have probs with allergies myself, so I know how annoying they can be!

re;’he was insistent on sitting on my friends lap, who had popped in for a cup of tea !!!!!
My daughters dog is just the same ... daft as a brush, just doesn’t realise how big/heavy he is
He has to settle for putting his head on your lap ... and that’s heavy enough!
He is terrified of thunder & lightning tho, knocks on the bedroom door when it’s during the night has been known to jump on her lap when it gets bad!


shezmit
Glad the ties arrived safely, are you using any particular pattern for the mug cosies?
What size etc?

chalky 75
Another lovely Lapacuddly ... but those poor dogs, with their bits & pieces all over the place!

Oh dear Lorna, I hope your nephew is getting over his fall, what a shame for him
Finding a dentist can be so difficult, I’m glad you found a pleasant one
Re; ‘Council Tax was sorted in about 5 minutes, then officer spent the next hour chatting’
That’s another thing ...... 5 minutes to do their job & then chill out for an hour ...... Imagine doing that in a place of work?!
I hope you have better day today :smileyhea
Oh, and can I have my coffee cream now please?:rotfl:

Kinsey
Great question of the day Diane !!!!
How do these people keep their jobs?......... indeed
Whoever you need to deal with these days, it always seems to turn into a nightmare!
Usually begins with an answer machine/auto service,
A struggle to get a human to speak to,
Being passed around a dozen people/departments,
Promises of action/phone back that never happen,
Then the whole process starts again grrrrrrrrrr!

blackcrow
So sorry to hear about your dad,


Have a safe journey and
Give your dad
from me

Pippa.S
What sort of bunny pattern are you after as I have quite a few?
Knit/crochet/size etc?
You certainly did brighten up those boobs Anne!!
Enjoy your week end!
