    Thanks makeup! :T :T

    Just sat on the floor in the attic, smelling the hyacinth and listening to radio 4, playing with the spirograph (oops, sorry, making cards in a very Grown Up Fashion :rotfl: :rotfl:), wrapping presents, covering lots of things in brown paper to send through the post, and making a little candle holder for a table decoration :j :j

    In fact, I'm rather taken with it and might just make one for myself too :D :rotfl:

    Not right now though, now I'm going downstairs for another cuppa :D

    I think that's all my parcels done (I can't wrap the candle holder, it's still wet). So a quick tidy up, then downstairs and I might start on my knitting :j :j :j Want to get going with it on the train to work tomorrow! :j :j

    Oh Cheery, that sound brill, bless!

    You write (sound?!) like you've had the weight of the world taken off your shoulders! Sounds like a lovely day! :j

    I have a bit of a thing for brown paper packages... just like in the sound of music! hehe. :D

    I love brown paper packages too :D

    Just finishing off printing the colour pages of my thesis :D It's all ready to go to the binders on Wednesday morning now (can't take it before then because I'm in work, pah!)

    Lovely bath, and now ready for another cuppa :D Work tomorrow, looking forward to it without anything else looming over me :T :T And office mate is taking me to the pub for lunch :D And going to friends' house after work for tea :D

    Cheery, you sound as bright as Hypno! How wonderful, and I love the sound of your craft work - I remember spirographs! I loved them :) Hope today is as nice as planned (don't see how it can't be, sounds brill).

    Sausage and mash in the pub was great :D :j :j :j Interview this morning was cheery. Looking forward to going out dfor tea! :T :T

    Work busy - but fun

    Binding is about £11 a copy, and I have to have 3 copies (even though 2 of them aren't actually going to be read, and the other one is going in the library so will also probably never be read :rotfl:) :D

    Back to it..

    £11 a copy isn't bad. I thought it would be much more. How annoying to have to waste paper that won't be read, though!
