Hi all
Haven't really had time or chance to read back and catch up, but wanted to let you know, I had a little girl, Charlotte Megan on Friday we had 3 nights in hospital but are now home and enjoying being a family of 4.

What size and shape aperture do you need i have some downstairs. mostly oval but i think some either rectangle or square too.

Thanks for the offer Craftygranny the size is 12.5 X 10cm, but don't worry about it as I fly home on Wednesday (snow willing) for Christmas so even if you have the correct size, I don't think it will arrive on time.

Congratulations on the birth of Charlotte Welshlassie, what a lovely early Christmas present.

Ohh and I can't remember which of you was the teacher, I've only done supply since April 30th and teaching full time the 10years before so I am well aware of how much work gets done in the holidays. Try to set aside at least 1 do nothing day for yourself over the hols.

Right now pics, this is the finished fish picture for the bathroom but still need to frame it.

Hello everyone!

God its been so long since I have been on here but I have missed you all! Firstly, congratulations welsh lassie! I havent done any stitching for a long time as I had a minor operation which ended up being really serious and has taken a long time to recover from but today is the first day I have been able to do anything so just had to rush through findmeagift to get all my christmas presents as I had nothing because i didnt know how ill I was gonna get and I couldnt resist popping on here to say hello to you all. Im hoping that if i have managed to get online today that I will get some stitching done tomorrow because I did save and buy



and got half way through amd I would hate to have to wait a year to show it off!

Anyway I hope I get o again before christmas but just incase happy christmas and new year!

School is over for two whole weeks plus a day (yippee) So begins the stitching in earnest.

I'm not sure if I was the teacher someone was referring to earlier - there are a few of us around but tbh was planning quite a few days for me! Don't like working too much when the kids are off cos they deserve to have a mum playing with them, so am going to plan our fortnight with dh tonight so we get time as a family in between his shifts and my stitching:p

Congratulations Welshlassie and welcome to the world Charlotte Megan.

Bubbles - sorry to hear you've been ill - we missed you
We have to decorate our:xmastree:tonight and then tomorrow we are off to find enough snow to make a :snow_grin as we have hardly had any so far this year and dd is getting :mad: every time we see it all on the tv.

i'm so glad its the weekend - its been a long week. I'm having an alcohol free evening as I want to be bright and bushy eyed tomorrow rather than hungover (like i was on Thursday following a birthday bash on Wednesday evening). :rotfl:

I have all my presents to wrap and my xmas cards to write but I might save this for Sunday and have a day of relaxation and cross stitch tomorrow :j will finally decide on xmas project !! keep finding more contenders !!

thifty

Think i was the teacher as I was moaning about the 6 sets of reports I had to do but I have just finished:beer::beer: so am off downstairs now to get doing something for me and try to ignore the 4 carriers full of exercise books. My dd has and ear infection so I have had to have a day off today and work were not too pleased and let me know the policy that states that if 2 days off are taken due to children being ill then the second day would be unpaid. What do other peoples employers do just out of interest? I know that my school is not a charity but it just seems annoying when I am very healthy and go in when a bit under weather but others don't bother (or maybe theie children are ill and they are lieing?);)

Congratulations Welshlassie :happylove
Bubbles welcome back, sorry you have been ill.

Right bring on the craft!
