    I'm so impressed - you'll be wearing Mrs. Beeton's apron and buying a canning machine next!
    The ability of skinny old ladies to carry huge loads is phenomenal. An ant can carry one hundred times its own weight, but there is no known limit to the lifting power of the average tiny eighty-year-old Spanish peasant grandmother.

    Afternoon everyone.

    (((Hugs))) to elona. I know what your going through. It was a month today since my nan died and still so much to do. My thoughts are with you and your family.

    Well today has been very un-os for me, in fact it has been very expensive. I had to book a skip as there is still so much to get out of nan's house, that cost me £164!!!! half of which I will be claiming back from my brother.

    Have booked my daughters 11th birthday party for october, and ordered her present, a day with a zoo keeper at Dudley zoo. She want's to be a vet in a zoo so thought this would be a great taster for her.

    Other than that a bit if tidying and to-ing and fro-ing.

    Something quick for tea then to B&Q for paint. More money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Am feeling thoroughly p****d off!! Just checked the bank account and have only got £30 to last us till next Wednesday :eek: We've got plenty of food in - but because my Dad can't get to the bank he asked to borrow some money off us - which I said of course, before checking the bank balance :o I've taken the money out for him - so he'll get it. The trouble is he gave me a cheque for the money - but because our bank is soooo slow (IF) it won't clear till next Wednesday at the earliest - maybe later :eek: Only consolation is that maybe DH has put his expenses in today (£67) so that might hit our bank account Friday.

    Anyway after my high spirits earlier - DD and I have only managed to do her bedroom and the bathroom - well it's start :D
    Squares knitted for my throw ~ 90 (yes!!! I have finally finished it :rotfl: )
    Squares made for my patchwork quilt ~ 80 (only the "actual" quilting to do now :rotfl:)

    just read my stars today:

    oh well that explains it all then....:rotfl:
    Sounds like it's you me and Moggins then Shez!

    Have done diddly squat all afternoon - promptly fell asleep after lunch. I think I need to work out a plan of action for tomorrow so that I don't end up doing the same again....

    Moggins - this is really selfish of me, but it's really nice to hear that you are just going to sit down with your rug this afternoon. I think a big part of my problem is that while I do take time out in the respect that I sit down and watch TV, deep down I'm feeling so guilty I'm exhausting myself mentally - hence the constant falling asleep!

    Ok, I've an hour now in which I can give myself a swift kick and get some flying done. This time I'm really going to set to it .... :p

    15 minutes of flying means I now have 15 minutes of play ;)

    Just had a look at those cards of your pooky - they're all great, but my fave I think is the Simpson one in the 3rd link, and all in the last link. Have you conisdered ebaying them? I'm sure they'd be really popular.
