Hey lovie mind and take it easy tonight........................pancakes aren't the devils food by the way (it will make sense later................:))

Missy hello

MrsMoo2U

Glad you are inspired. I find long days sooo tiring but you are right extra so when your head is spinning from exciting brain food.

Sounds good to me - and you're in another one at the mo? Hope thats going just as well, but with better food

Cheery, I know this is a pain - but could you repost your quickie pancake thing? I'd search for it, but pancakes get mentioned a *lot* on this thread, so that won't cut the mustard :rotfl:

Evening all

Quick pancake thing KC? Do you mean the recipe?? Er...

Some flour
Add an egg (if you have one, some milk if not)
Mix, then mix a bit more, til it's liquid but thicker than water/milk
Add a pinch of salt

Was that it? Or were you after the pancake maker? Mine is something like this No idea if it's exactly this one, it's a present and I've thrown the box away!

Another cheery training course today! Not quite as useful as yesterday, but still very interesting, and a good tour round the place too. I'm so fired up with enthusiasm for work at the minute I'm just so lucky to be doing something so fascinating and potentially useful, and I'm learning so much in the process.

Busy pondering a few things here while watching Chocolat I had a few vague ideas for post-PhD patchwork lifestyle type things, but they're all being thrown non-specifically up in the air by the fact that I'm just darn enjoying WORK so much at the minute :rotfl: NOT a thing I ever thought I'd heard myself say :rotfl: So a few things to think about - funny, because I kind of ended up doing this by accident, and now I love it :rotfl:

Anyway, waffling on in a silly way and not really sure what I'm saying, back when I'm more coherent! :rotfl:

Bleurgh! Just popped up to get hot water bottle for mean old girly stomach ache issues

However - while I'm waiting for the kettle I'm messing about on here, and discovered I've sold 2 Amazon books in the last few hours! :j Not exactly huge - one will get me £3.88 and the other £2.64, (and there's postage to come out of that!) But still - that's £6.52 more than I had yesterday (I always 'donate' postage from my unnecessary spending account, so that when I get the payment I get to keep all of it :rotfl: Daft, but makes me feel better!) One of them is rather big, but I DID weigh everything when I put it on, so it *should* work out ok, especially if I post tomorrow and can send second class!

Kettle's done, off to bed <yawn>

hope the hot water bottle works, well done for selling two books, not only is it a little money but it's also a little space in your life.

Hey you, take care and imagine 'enjoying work' - glad you are! You're clearly doing something you like - which is brilliant - that doesn't make it non patchworky - but more of a solid income 'blanket' which you can embelish the edges with other lovely patchworky-stuff

Ace!!

What a lovely idea! :j :j I got so hung up on the idea of a complete patchwork, I was forgetting sometimes that you can actually enjoy your main job! :rotfl: Especially since I do it only 2 days a week :rotfl: But f they offer me more doing the same thing, or especially if it's a similar thing on a slightly different project, I shall JUMP at the chance :j And make sure I'm embellishing my options round the edges with little applique patches and fancy stitching :j Love you Fay :j

WI done, Dreadful car boot ambled round, lunch on the go, knitting and craft fair to go to this afternoon - I love Saturdays! :j :j And I'm wearing a LOVelY red and white polka dot top, bought in a charity shop a few weeks ago, needed to lose a pound or two so haven't worn it since, but had revelation this morning that I DON"T HAVE TO DO ALL THE BUTTONS UP! :rotfl: So just one button done up with a nice top underneath - and when I stood on the scales I've lost 3lbs this week anyway! :j :j :j
