    Hello Cherub-whereabouts in Liverpool are you? I'm a Halewood exile myself!

    Just had a hairy moment-nipped out for a paper in my little red sporty number that we just put back on the road,and halfway there, the bonnet flew open!Couldn't see anything,but I could see there was nothing behind me so I screeched to a halt, hopped out and shut it...ould have been nasty!

    Thanks elfen for helping me see it like that. Your post was lovely. Sounds like you had fun with the greyhounds too. I then went to Mr A and Aldi and got some comfort food for my cold, so I did spend some more money there, but we do need food.

    evening

    I have had a very productive afternoon, still haven't got a complete empty box as yet, but was sorting, stripping repairing, cleaning and making jewellery as i was going through it, so got 20+ more peices for sale :)

    Elfen are you around to help with descriptions? please? I need to edit pics first.

    Yup I am claire, and its ok katsu
    ETA: wanted to write more but was on phone. Katsu, you can't berate yourself for getting bits that you need and that's for Xmas too, it's not as if you got them full price out of a shop full of snobby people (which is my main hate of Debenhams and Laura Ashley - specially the staff, they look down on you so much - so I'd rather go to a CS and help them out) , but that you went in the CS and got them, it's what I would do too :) And glad it made you feel a bit better too.
    Claire, I'm about when you're ready - I'm guessing either today or tomorrow some point?

    Claire and Elfen, I'm hoping you can both make it to Bristol next month. I really want to meet you both.

    I guess I just feel a bit bad about spending the money Elfen, just thinking I didn't need to buy the stuff. However, when I analyse it, I did need the wool for the craft fair (I want to make the pig money bank I showed on here the other week). I didn't need the jewellery stand, I just thought it might be good to have for the fair I'm doing for Christmas/anything else I do in future incase I make anything that hangs up. I don't need it now, so it is a bit of a luxury, but as you say it hardly breaks the bank.
