Hi Moiliere, I don't know if any of the Ikea shops in France are near you, or if they do these on line, you would get lots of little dresses out of this set

thanks kathy hes got an after scool club tonight so wont be home till laterroamin_in_the_gloamin wrote: »Mrs Monneypenny, hope your DS and his wee pal are feeling a bit more secure about what happend - also you can tell them I have put a HEX on the bike and the wee sod that knicked it will get his come uppance shortly! I also included my sisters Doc's receptionist - as she always seems to NOT HAVE APPOINTMENTS for my sister. You never knew I could do spells (wish I could spell properly - words etc).
i have to be careful with that one jean, ever since i saw a certain horrible person that used to bully my son standing on top of the swing frame on the park, we were just driving out with the kids when i said out loud that i wished hed fall of and hurt himself. my son came home from school about a weeklater and said he hadnt know i was a witch, apparently the 'person had come back to school that day on crutches as it truned out hed falled off the top of the swing frame over the wekend and broken his leg:o .
but sometimes what goes around does indeed come around;)
hopefully next time your sister needs an appt the receptionist will be off illSPC~12 ot 124

in connection with the 3 or 4 facts conversation a school mum who Iv'e know for years was talking about an icebreaker they'd done at a new mother/toddler shed been to. you had to say three itwems that were in your handbag that would give peo;ple clues to your personality, at the time id got a 1/2 knitted boob, a reading book and some of my competition entries to post. she dint know i knitted and was amazed by the fact i was knitting a boob:rotfl:. i ended up knitting a bobble hat with a stuffed boob on the top for her policeman husband.SPC~12 ot 124

ANAKAT..............wow what a great price for the duvet and pillow cases..........off to check the stock in the nearest Ikea which is probably half way to Moilieres house knowing my luck, they don't have too many Ikea shops in this bit of Brittany, thanks for the linkie.......might even 'phone DS and get him to go buy me some for von trapp frocks.
Mrs Moneypenny I know just what you mean by that one......but like you, I am certain that what goes around DOES come around

Hi all,
Soaring temps Kathy ? We had lashing rain and HAILSTONES not long ago here, hope it improves for the weekend cos we`re off to Perth for the knitting show :j lots of lovely wool to feel and fondle and stroke :T getting excited.
I heartily second the audio books. Love listening to someone `telling me a story` while I`m knitting (or crocheting now) and earlier this afternoon I was listening while doing the washing up. I often have my ears plugged in when I`m in the greenhouse or garden as well. I usually get a few from the library along with my normal books. It was prfungi who pointed me in that direction a while ago - can`t think why I didn`t think of it myself - thanks Pam
Mrs moneypenny - if there`s any justice the rotten little twerps will get their comeuppence - with any luck sooner rather than later
Roamin - maybe your DWS`s GP is like ours. If you want a morning appointment that day you have to phone at 8.30 as some of the appts are `blocked` only for release on that day so that there are some available and not all taken by pre - bookings. Same with the pm ones, phone at 2pm.
Chalky - will you be watching the Eurovision song contest while wooly crafting :rotfl:highlight of the weekend. Shame I`ll be too busy socialising with other Loving Hands folk to watch it, about a dozen of us having dinner on Saturday night. Wonder if it will be `Nil Points` again for UK ? Tactical voting gone mad.
Ah well, no rest for the wicked. Been informed we have to go to the shop. Wish she would learn to drive - one day maybe.

Anakat - That bed set is really cheap, isn't it? I have no idea where my nearest Ikea is but I shall google it and find out. It's a shame that Ikea don't do mail order. I also see that the pillowcases are UK sized, and not the silly square ones that they have here. The French obviously have smaller heads than the Brits!

Wooo Hoooo !¬ Mentioned in dispatches. Trust it to be the Tutorial where I got in a right muddle about Single and Double Crochet !! Actually it makes not a scrap of difference but I would hate to confuse any hookers out there!
Well the " boys " have all gone out for a curry and leave for their weekend away in the morning at such times I turn into a ----
A) Non answering door, pyjama clad recluse!A cheese and pickle sandwich yaffler so that getting food does not disturb me.
C) The untidiest person alive with projects everywhere -- sewing machine out-- wool stash opened!
D) A really late nighter !
E) Phone off the hook!
Then when they all head home I rush around like a mad thing and tidy and with a roast waiting on the table my secret stays safe for another year.
CAN'T WAIT!
Sleep tight everyone xTry and do a good deed every day.0
