Knit Your Square to Give Your Share - PART 4

mioliere

Hi everyone - just calling in to say that I'm sorry I've been MIA for the last few days. The cold that started the other day decided to get nasty on Friday, and I've been fit for nothing for most of the weekend, shivering and aching and so on. I don't think it's the 'flu but it's felt almost as bad! I think it's starting to go now, so I hope to be a lot better by tomorrow, and I'll catch up with you all then.

Lots of love and hugs to you all and I'll see you all tomorrow.

Well a sleep in here -- Wonderful!
We were just about to venture out when the wind picked up and the rain started -- how dare it!! Actually it is very much needed and now that our visitors have gone and the washing is dry it can tip down

---

Not that I need any excuse to get the woolly stuff out!!

Firstly a big gentle hug to all.

Thanks, Chalky and Kinsey. Annoyingly, I still don't feel a hundred percent. I've had to run a few errands this morning, and now I feel exhausted so I've just forced myself to prep everything for a good old-fashioned stew which can cook itself slowly through the afternoon without too much attention from me, then I shall probably have a nap and, hopefully, wake up feeling a bit rejuvenated.

Chalky - I hope you've been able to wind down after a busy few days of entertaining! The wind and rain is obviously telling you to settle down with some woolly stuff.

I hope everything works out for you and that you can find a way of exchanging houses; you could do with a fresh start, couldn't you?

Pippa - I think about you and your OH a lot, so hugs coming your way.

Oh, by the way - some news that almost made my cold go away; as you all probably know, DH and I are going back home to the UK for Christmas, and it's all been arranged for us to spend Christmas Day at our eldest son's home, and he's invited our youngest son and family, so we shall ALL be together on the day PLUS, and this actually made my cry when DS2 and DIL told me, they have arranged to have little Summer and Megan christened on New Year's Day to make sure that we don't miss the occasion! As you can imagine, I am over the moon, and even more excited about going back.

Will catch up with you all later; hope you are having good days!

Thank you for your continued thoughts and concern for OH, it's much appreciated you are a lovely bunch of friends (((hugs))) for you all xx


fi - thanks for asking, and all I can say is thank goodness he only has another 6 days to go 24 gone already.... things are getting tough now...but we will get there
kathy - hope you are feeling better today. I have an update to do this week so if it's ok I will do it after this, not sure if I will be in here tomorrow as DS2/DIL and DGS are coming over, I think they are in for a shock when they see OH as they haven't seen him since after the 10th shot...
ISOM - hope you and Mum are ok and have given the dreaded lurgy the old heave ho
shaz - what a PIA !!!just when you don't need the hassle
:hello:caracara you will love it in here we are a friendly bunch, anything you want to know just ask, with the squares any stitch is ok whatever you want to do, you will soon get into the swing of things, I will try and post a link to one of the squares site's, but I am not very techie so don't hold your breath;)... O and BTW congrats on giving up smoking, I know how hard that is, its been 11 years since I gave up and I am so glad I did,
PTB - sorry you feeling rubbish...my answer to rubbish is Maltesers ooo yummm hope you feel less rubbishy soon x
notjustlaura - Sands blankets look really good when they are finished don't they, I tried 1 this time and was surprised how quickly it grew and the edging was easier than I thought it would be as well:)
kinsey - how's the christening gown coming along?

Oh's hands have been so cold for a while now, I think it must be because of the Morphine, so I knitted him some handwarmers with thumbs in, they seemed to do the trick :T

Off to have a quick look at Mrs Twins on SIBOL when I have done my update, wonder if she has done the draw yet ...and its L/H challenge weekend as well

Love to all
Anne

hope all are well

popped in loving hands this mrning new challenges look good so oce hand feels better ill start something

hugs for all who want one

sorry to hear council arent leting you swap at the mo SK

Seakay

Don't worry caracara - we all started where you are now and some of us haven't progressed much further!
This thread is all about doing what you can and being supportive - which is why we are technically off topic so much of the time.
In the same way that on MSE there are no stupid questions, on this thread there is no boring knitting!

hope my comments on the council haven't upset you Socky - please don't think that I don't feel for you because I do, just wanted to say that on this occasion I don't think that the council are being b***** minded for the sake of it.
Actually, your house sounds so lovely that I am surprised that you want to move at all. If the council are happy for you to stay where you are with single person occupancy, would it be easier for you to do so at the moment? You could have your own sewing and knitting and crafts room, a pets room, maybe an office and/or a storage room for bargain bulk buys and/or preserves or the results of foraging (like a sort of pantry?). Advantage of the pantry/ store room idea is that you wouldn't even have to heat it

Thanks for all your kind wishes

Chalky thanks yes I am pleased to be home as there is a very bad situation in the ward just now with a patient who is screaming a lot - even through the night so a very disturbed week was had by everyone.
Moliere hope you soon feel better (((hug))) that is WONDERFUL news about the christening - what a Holiday this is going to be - I am delighted for you xx
F1 widow sorry you are not too good - hope things improve for you very soon
Pippa only a few days left and you can both catch up on some well earned rest
Mrs M Any news of when you might get to see the twins?

Socky I hope the Council will be able to sort things out for you - this swap is sooooooooo right for you - hang on in there!
Isom I hope your Mum is feeling better now
