I've switched my machine off half way through my last two patches as my neighbour came around to chat to my husband so I had to turn the machine off so they colud talk.

My husband is just ordering us a takeaway as its payday for him Not easy when you are vegetarian (me) :eek: I don'ttrust the Chinese one bit. Vegetarian to them is cooking vegetable curry in beef fat I'm sure!! Hope I'm wrong

I don't trust Chinese restaurants either. Their list of vegetarian food usually includes things with oyster sauce, which doesn't exactly fill me with confidence. My DD1 went to a friend's house a while ago, and they ordered Chinese. The vegetarian spring rolls had chicken in them! :mad: Needless to say my DD didn't eat them.

OMG don't tell me that please, I've just eaten vegetable curry with mushroom fried rice!! I'm really hoping that there was nothing in there animal related. It all started when I got my ex battery hens...stopped eating chicken, then the rest followed!!

I've just had a peek at your blog at your doorstop. It's gorgeous. I made three out of my head at the begining of the year, I sold one on folksy, gave one to my Mum and Dad and the last one can be seen in my latest blog entry sat next to my new lounge door

Meggielo, I meant to say yesterday after looking at your blog that you might like the Shabby Chic thread over on the Old Style Moneysaving board.

Thanks Georgia, yes I love shabby chic stuff. I went over to have a look after reading your above post but got stuck in the sock monkey thread instead:D

I will pop back later to have a look at the shabby chic thread. Just finished another two patches much to DH's relief, he hates the noise with a venegence as he works in a noisey place with machinery and hears it al day. He says he doesn't expect to come home and listen to it here too!
