    Sorry for any 'stuff' that hasn't got there yet - dh posted it out for me on Saturday afternoon from one of the most unreliable post boxes we have round here (he does display worrying signs of numptiness very often!) If there is no joy by early next week I will re-post to anyone who hasn't received anything. We once posted a birthday card from the same box for my brother and it arrived 11 months late so I am not hopeful :(

    Have yet to sort out my threads too! Going away to lakes next week so taking mine with me then hopefully


    oh dear! that's aweful! i'm going away to work at glastonbury festival and had hoped to take it with me, but thats a very silly idea as i've now heard it will be a wet year... so i've less time in june now. but i'll try really hard, promise!

    Oh dear, HELP please!

    I've done about 2/3rds of the outer border and I've run out of the purple (333). Do any of you very kind people have a length of it that I can buy from you? I'll paypal the money over to you. I just want to make sure it is 333 so I'm a bit nervous ordering a skein from eBay in case it's not genuine and it ends up different!!!

    I'm gutted, I was so careful and I've not unpicked any either! It's probably the neatest work I've ever done, I was hoping to finish it this weekend!

    Hope you can help xxx

    Think I might have your address somewhere so will pop some more in the post - think yours was one of the first i did and I might have been a bit tight on the threads initially - same goes for anyone else who runs out.

    Will PM if I cant find your address once tinies have gone to bed if that's ok?

    Thank you thank you thank you xxxxxx if you need me to pay pal postage again just let me know.

    I tried everything to make the thread last but it beat me! I can get on with the backstitch, lettering and French knots in the meantime.

    Thanks x

    My 333 was close too, i think it depends on how much letter you have as some are mostly hidden.
