Daffy's 'a nice cup of tea cheers you up' diary

Fab news on the handing in...not so fab all the too-ing and fro-ing....

I get the burdastyle email each week and they had this link to make fabric flowers and totally thought of you - obviously you know how to make them...but in case anyone else is feeling inspired!!!!

Thanks Makeup! :T My flowers weren't half as complicated as that, in fact, you probably wouldn't recognise them as flowers at all! :rotfl:

Here's a direct link to the flower pattern, was a bit hidden.

Burdastyle is great, lots of free patterns and some good threads with tips and hints and stuff. The site is quite American in parts so you need to translate some stuff but it is still good!

hey cheery, I know I am super late, but I have only just caught up on your diary and I just wanted to say a huge WELL DONE and CONGRATULATIONS on finishing your PHD, bless you having such a rotten time handing it in. Sounds like you are having a lovely time now you have so much more time on your hands. As I have said many a time and I am sure I will say it again, you really are an inspiration!

Thanks makeup, I just couldn't see it, oops. How fascinating to see how early it is ....

Cheery_Daff

Aw, thanks Missy! :j :j It is indeed a weight off my shoulders

Working at home today - and since I didn't get home from work til 10pm last night (which was planned) I didn't feel any great need to start at 9am this morning So I've been to my friend's for a cuppa Best get started now

Off for my first hair cut in 3 years tonight - wibble

Hello Dr Daffs

Love the haircut wibble, poor you - I bet you'll be really pleased with it!

Cheery_Daff

Hope so, it's a bit of a straggly mess at the minute! I've been lopping the ends off myself, and while the front looks pretty alright, the back is atrocious (i can't see or reach that bit :rotfl: :rotfl:) I might even go all radical and get a fringe

Time for lunch I reckon, don't you??

Hope the haircut goes well Daffs - note of caution - a fringe would be quite high maintenance - if you, like me, aren't someone who will get around to regular hairdressers appointments, you might do better not to go for that!

I am hoping that my free appointment with a hair group salon comes through soon (qualified for it through a newsletter signup) as mine really needs doing - nothing dramatic there though, will just be a few inches off to return it to the shoulder length bob I prefer!
