Hi

Actually have a few spare minutes :-)
Tomorrow we are picking up my daughter, son in law, his sister, and my three little grandgirls from Gatwick. They are arriving from America for a four week stay. Not their dad and Aunty. They are here for two weeks, and are doing some travelling while here. Dawn is working, so I'm a full time granny for the four weeks :-) 7am they land, so it's an early morning for me tomorrow :-)
We did our first caravan trip :-) That went really well, though I didn't get to relax in it that much as I was helping with Kids work and other things. It was a Christian get together up in Evesham. Still it was good, and I enjoyed the caravan a lot more than a tent :-) We couldn't work out how to get the emersion working though, so didn't have hot water. Didn't matter as we were only there 3 1/2 days. Nice to have a proper cooker and a fridge :-)
I managed to get the blanket I was making for it done just before we left :-) Grateful for it, because the first night was freezing lol.
Tons on home here at the mo. Will be meeting myself coming back I reckon lol :-)
I'm on a wool buying ban. I have loads stacked away in boxes in my cupboard so have told myself, I'm not to buy anything until I've used it all up. That's going to take a year or more I reckon lol. Most of it is the Sirdar Snowflake. I had a craze on it and bought loads from ebay several years ago, so I think fleecy bed socks, baby blankets, hats, gloves etc will be on the needles and hooks soon lol. Will see if I can sell what I make and put the money towards the school our pastors wife is setting up in Africa :-)
Have a blessed and prosperous day. Hugs to all in need. ((((hugs)))). Love you all.

Evening all! Lovely day here with some silk paper and bowl making which was much enjoyed by mum and I. Less so a couple of the participants rolling eyes and whispering at things mum did and said which I found v upsetting - she didnt notice much of it (spending much time on her own planet lol!) but I did and it spoiled the day. Im hoping it doesent happen often as Ill eventually have to say something but let it go for now. Just leaves a nasty feeling which is horrible. Some people cant help themselves being nasty can they eh!
Other than that plyed my last wool for the book cover which I will of course share when its done!!
Hope you have all been enjoying the sunshine and having nice time!

Shezmit,
I'm glad you posted.
I have a lot of stamps come through from all over the World for our
SIBOL project. I'd be happy to collect for you. I have been thinking about
this for some time. It has always seemed such a shame to throw them away.
Hope everyone on here are well.
My best wishes
Suex

Hello all - cant believe Ive managed to update for a second week running! dont hold your breath ladies wont last tee hee!

isom - i was very angered to hear what you said about your group - some people are very rude and insensitive - there was no need for their comments and if and its a big if they felt the need to be so rude could they not have waited until they were away and gone :mad::mad: - im sorry it spoiled your day as what you were doing sounded fun and interesting and even more so that you can partake and enjoy with mum - big hugs for you and mum! xxx

salome - good to hear you had a nice time - you made me laugh about the wool ban - Ive tried imposing that one on myself and always seem to be naughty so good luck - try to take time and have a small rest every now and then xxx

shezmit - good to hear from you and well done on the totals (I whisper that I still have a parcel waiting to go to post office so im so sorry that it has not got to you yet) xxx

pipps s - "your" task sounds intriguing - would love to see it when you finish it - hope you heard from secretary xxx

kathy - do you think you are on the homebound straight now you are painting? and as always you are soooooooo busy I do worry about you xxx

mrs m - lovely to see you xxx

Hugs and warm thoughts to those I have not mentioned - chalky, prfungi, psso, seakay (im sorry im hopeless at remembering everyone!) xxx

Thank you for your kind comments on the hats - makes me feel good!

Ive waffled enough am off to finish watching the BGT final
Love to all xxx

yeah i am still around, i am more of a lurker now LOL, we have a found a brilliant buyer for our Stamps and he gives us £38 per kilo which we use for either paying for our parcels to go out to the hospitals or wool to keep us busy x which is fantastic so please keep saving them for us xx

last week (28th) was a bit hard on me as it was a year since we was told that my mom had cancer let a lone terminal and now she has been gone 7mths , but we are getting there and PreemiesUK is doing really well. so the promise i gave my mom i have kept too x

:hello: Hope everyone has had a good week. It is our eldest son's birthday today so we are going to his for Sunday lunch and birthday cake.


I live in the Southeast which has had the dryest Spring for 100years so if some of you from "up north" could send down a bit of rain, my garden would be really greatful

Update 1 Sands blanket

Anakat wonder where you live...here in Cardiff we have LOTS of rain but then we also have lush scenery (as in green lush but then its also gurt lush beautiful too!!)! Would gladly send you some rain over!! Have a lovely birthday day for you son.
F1 yes it wasnt nice but then I think it says more about them than anything...I always feel quite sad for people like that - the only way they make themselves feel better is to be horrible to other people Wormy worms in their tummy I always say!
Today is church and sleep plus try teach mum to spin!
No update for me this week...aim is to finish latest cat blanket this week. Think I need to set mini goals lol as weeks just vanish dont they!!
Hope you all have a lovely day...bit overcast here but not cold! We have Americans coming to do a mission week in our church and they arrive today. I do feel for them; some have never left America so it must be daunting for them!
