Can someone tell me how to sew nametapes on so they stay on for more than 5 minutes??

I have been using this company for years:

www.mabel.ca

Their stick on labels are great (though not very moneysaving )
I usually order when there is a good money of code about.
I have used them to label shoes, lunchboxes, books, clothes and they have always stayed put

For various reasons - partly having to shift stuff in boxroom for C/H service I have 'stuff' all over the place.
Wish there was someone else to blame :rotfl:

Off on a tidy up session.

Thanks for that. I bought a load from letterbox (also not MSE) and they just fray.

Made delicious sage, parmesan and cream sauce for pasta later and lentil pate. DH says how clever to make pate, and I said "only if it sets":rotfl:

Hello Hun!

Noooooo, its not asbo....he was sent back to Scotland with My Mother after her last visit. Bless him, I love him to bits, even if he is a big hairy slobbery beast.... but he needs walked and run 3 or 4 times a day and I work full time and its just not fair to him. So he is off back to Scotland.

In the mean time however, I agreed to dogsit for my friends who have a border collie and a chihauauh.... They were here for two weeks and they were great, but since then, the collie came into season and the little mexican lover has plagued the life out of her.

They were already on the verge of considering rehoming him, but becuase he is completely bugging the collie, she has ended up going for him a few times and since he is so tiny, he is going to end up getting hurt.... So he is back with us indefinitely.

He is soooooo good on his own though....its a real shame the two dogs didnt get on.

Anyway, I have collected School Uniform delivery from Next and am off to do some more laundry....I think it has been breeding while Ive been out.

I'm here and I'm determined to get one room done tonight at least then aim for another one too.

Taking the dog for his walk after the swimming finishes then making a start on the bathroom and will do will do will do will do the LR later on

Brought all the washing in after work which dried nicely while at work on the warm blowy day, will be off to hang this up ready for HHI

May need a little gentle kick later on to get me off the settee and off the laptop!

Helllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllp:rotfl::rotfl:

I've got a very friendly unknown cat trying to break in to my house! I don't recongise it as a local cat, neither does one of my neighbours.

I've locked the cat flap, but now it is sitting on the wheelie bin, trying to get in through the downstairs loo window, so closed that as well.........:D

It seems well looked after ie it is not thin or all matted..........

I am hoping it will wander off...............

If not I'll catch it,in the morning, but it is very friendly, so that wont be hard, cat box it to the vet to be scanned for a chip, so we can see where it belongs....................
