    Hey ladies! :wave:

    Enjoying my nice cup of tea (courtesy of work :p) and lurking on the boards. Have a big meeting this afternoon about a new project that I found out I won - so that should be pretty cool. It all adds up for my revenue total for the year, still have a ways to go, but I'm getting there - project by project!

    My OH is away this weekend too - for a boys' weekend back at home (in NI), so I've got one of my best friends coming round and we are having a girly day - DVDs, good food, wine and chat. Looking forward to it! :j

    I've also booked my first sewing lesson - so that's next Tuesday night! Really excited about it - the first half of the class is familiarising us with the machines, how they work, etc and in the second half of the class we start work on our project, which is a little clutch purse. Eeeek! Can't wait!

    K, enough from me!

  • Morning all,

    Sorry not posting as much, my work's computer keeps restarting itself after installing some updates! Plus each website I look at takes an age to load!

    Hope everyone's ok? I'm feeling very very sleepy at the moment and have little or no tollerance for the people I'm speaking to today!

    Jo, that sounds good. I'm having an evening with my mum on Friday, going too see SATC2 and have something yummy to eat if I can think of something to make!

    Gonzo - I feel your Excel pain. It's been driving me nuts lately!

    good afternoon

    The dog had me up at 5 this morning crying, so was up and down the stairs like a yoyo. got boys up at 7 got them off to school and went back to bed, got up at 10.30, so its made me behind on all my plans for today, never mind.

    i.ve got 2 loads of washing on the line and cleaned through, just having some dinner and a cuppa, then i'm sorting more black bags, i'm nearly there :), need to list more on ebay and sort jewellery out for the farmers market on Sat. Hopefully make a few more bits if i have time.

    got diced pork out of freezer earlier, so i'm going to do curry for tea.

    Hello all :wave:

    Jo - Sewing class sounds good - hope it goes well.

    Gonzo - Hope you find your problem with your spreadsheet....they scare me.

    I've had a "mucking about" morning with the sewing machine.....been having a go at shirring as I want to make DD1 a dress/top, just need to find some fabric she likes now. Then I set to and made a new cover for my craft bag (it's on a frame so was tricky)....just need to tidy up now.

    Bubble and squeaky burgery things for lunch with onion gravy - yums.
