Knit Your Square to Give Your Share - PART 4

Gracie_1827

Hello, can someone help me...I've just started with photobucket and want to post a photo to a forum...and this one, but can't get it to work.
I've tried copying the image code and the html code and neither are working for me:o

morning all
mrs mp, glad your sons 18th party went well, and didnt get out of hand.
gracie, sorry i cant help with posting pics, but i'm sure someone will be along later who can.
had a lovely day yesterday, apart from the upset with josh in the morn rest of day went really well, including a visit from an old school friend, who i still keep in touch with, but whom i hadnt actually seen in over a year. no birthday cake, but i got lots chocolates, smellies, and a fancy teapot that looks like a cupcake. my kitchen is pink with cupcake accessories, so it goes well.
also got some money and i know exactly what i am spending it on:p, yes its wool lol. opal have brought out a range of sock wool called flower power, and i plan to get some in jan, when my local wool stall has it in stock
hope everyone is as well as can be.
hugs to all

Hi everyone; sorry I've been MIA but it's a difficult time and I am really missing being back at home. A lot is going on there and I feel very far away.

Ginnyknit - hope OH is feeling as well as can be.

Shaz - hugs to you; sorry about the upset with Josh.

Mrs Moneypenny - Happy 18th for your son!

Chalky - so sorry to hear about your DMIL - I hope she is soon on the mend. Happy Birthday to William, too; I can't believe he's a year old already!

Fortunately, my BIL is feeling a lot better; still not eating solid food but he's determined to 'save' himself so that he can eat Christmas dinner tomorrow! It seems that the chemo and the new drugs he is on are making a difference.

Mum is as well as can be but was very sad to lose her brother last week - he was younger than her and had been suffering with cancer for a long time. My DIL1's father had a heart attack last week but, thank goodness, got to the hospital in time and is having tests today, and DIL2's beloved grandmother passed away, so it's been a tough week.

I took photos of the things I made for my mum and grandchildren, so I will try and post them on here over the next few days.

We've had loads and loads of rain (but still not as much as you have in the UK); DH is up on the roof as I type fixing yet another leak. Today, though, is a lot milder and we've had a little sun and no rain so far, but it is forecast for later.

We are just about ready for Christmas although it never seems like Christmas here compared to the UK. On Boxing Day we are visiting friends with whom we always have a real laugh, so I am looking forward to that. They are the people who used to have the pig farm, and have become really good friends.

I have just tidied up my wool stash (it's always gets into a mess when I am working on several little projects. Besides the presents I made to send back home, I've been making mug cosies to go with mugs for presents for people here; it's been a great way of using up scraps. I will carry on doing squares now that I seem to have that particular mojo back.

Anyway, I hope all your plans for Christmas are going well, that none of you is suffering with flooding (one of my uncles on Somerset has just been flooded for the fourth time this year, bless him), and that you all have a wonderful day tomorrow. I'll pop in at some time during the day.

Happy Christmas to you and all your families!

So have I but also trying to pretend that all is normal!!!!well at least kind of. Hopefully all will be well as we greet Christmas morning but they were concerned doing the op with her heart problems.

Happy Christmas one and all! Im here but been manic with work, Christmas, new kitchen being fitted (week before Christmas...whose bonkers idea was that...oh yes, mine! DOH) and the boiler died. Thankfully we have heating but no hot water until mid Jan. Thankfully have done bucket washes when in the Phillipines and now have it down to a fine art!
Sorry to hear that people are experiencing health probs of loved ones so sorry to hear your news socky but well done for not giving money out..know its hard but sometimes the little darlings have to learn the hard way
Chalky sorry to hear that MIL in hospital but lovely that William gave some happy time amidst the upset and worry. Big hugs for you
Miol sorry mum and BIL still poorly/struggling...
Pippa thank you for remembering me...just not enough hours in the day...thinking of you and ginny as you support your loved ones
Hope that others have had a lovely day. We didnt go mad and had a blessed day...one of the best ever me thinks...church family in the morning, smoked salmon while opening pressies and the a snooze and chilling. As for Downton they know how to produce a cheery christmas day show dont they eh!
Love to one and all!
Gracie try the techies board...theyre great at that sort of thing!
