Hi peeps just a quick pop in (I am supposed to be packing):whistle:
Blimin freezin here today, just fetched the washing in and I'm shivering

chalky -no you haven't missed me I go on Saturday and the cruise ends on 20th but we are staying a night in a hotel in Barcelona. DIL fixed it all up they have never been there so they are looking forward to it. I love it there been a few times now and it never ceases to amaze me, OH's favourite place is the football stadium (no surprise there then)!!! We get back home sometime on 21st

mrs- m - were you thinking of me? as I mentioned having an owl door-stop had it a few years now... everytime I look at one OH sayings do you really need any more owls..men just do-not understand do they? :rotfl:

I am still working on the oblong granny, just fancied a change from square so thought I'd try and figure out how to do an oblong, managed to get it a passable shape would like it a bit more oblong but gone too far to rip it back now, next time I will do a longer start

I made some owl keyrings from Linda's Craftycorner for the girls school Christmas Fayre...but they keep disapearing...funny that

well I better get on TTFN Ax

edit:quick post who am I kidding:rotfl:

DH has been taking the medicine that Nelson used when he was duff - pure rum and quite a bit of it so the Man Flu is now on its way out! Pippa - hope you have a wonderful time on the briney sea!
Where this week has gone I do not know, I don't think I managed to achieve much but will continue to try................... as well as catch up with you all sometime.
I was going to add a sparkly post but machine is running like treacle out of the can! so will send you all lots of love and cuddles and return later in the day with said sparkler!

Just having a break for lunch:)

We had a lovely surprise this morning, for the last 2 months we have been hiding in our garage a present our neighbour bought her OH for his 30th birthday which is on Sunday...well she came this morning to collect it and brought with her a thank-you gift for us... a gorgeous basket full of scrumptious goodies "brie and port salut cheeses, snack olives, tiny melba olive toasts, organic shortbread biscuits, strawberry conserve, organic tea bags and a bottle of Pinot Noir, she is so kind, I had to take a picture to show you I am so touched

Have tried to put it on here but no go so heres my flickr link

mrs-m - there is a photo on there of crocheted owls I did for the girls christmas fayre at school, so easy to do. I got the pattern from lindyf's blog
jean - thanks for the links ...more on my to do list and while I think there is a photo of the little snowpeeps on my flickr as well, the ribbon tip saved me so much time not having to knit the scarves TVM

got to go there's a few bits to iron then I am done and can concentrate on something important...like woolly stuff to do in the car on the way to Gatwick

So (((HUGS))) all round I hope the poorlys get well soon and everyone else is fit and well as can be... see you in 10 days

Hi everyone

Lots of lovely links on here lately! I shall take a look later. My cough is finally, fingers crossed, on its way out. It's been such a pain, especially at night.

Pippa - I hope you have a wonderful time on your cruise! What a lovely 'thank you' gift you received from your neighbour!

Mrs Moneypenny - hope your DS didn't get too wet, bless him.

Jean - hope your DH is feeling better; how are the blisters? I popped into our local Lidl's this morning; they have some 'stitchy' bits and pieces for sale (including a large stock of the sewing machines, which I don't need now!). Some of the sewing 'kits' are really expensive for what they are, but I picked up some lovely brightly-coloured crochet hooks for 99 cents for a pack of three. No really small sizes, unfortunately, but I have Nos 5,6 and 7 in one pack, and 8,9 and 10 in the other. Even if they don't last long, they look really pretty standing in a jar! They also had some lovely chunky wool, too, but I resisted the urge this time!

Chalky - we left the door open and it looks as if that snake went back out but when we went to close the shutters the following night, there was another smaller one on the windowsill! It must be snake season! The second one has disappeared now; I only hope it's not hiding in the sofa! It's so annoying because I love having doors and windows open in the good weather but with so many things wandering around out there, it makes it difficult.

I hope the powers that be have sorted out that double-posting problem; I'm just about to test it!

BON VOYAGE PIPPA....................... off to have a look at your snowpeeps as well as your other work............. back sometime, DH is not sharing his blisters with anyone - I do believe he has the original zinc oxide plaster on them with a new bit slapped across the top! I am not the NURSEY!
