My DH is a sewing machine mechanic to trade, please don't pay over the odds, we are up north a lot, whats up with it? (DH and I met over a gusset) lol long story:D:o
Thanks for the offer, macpep.
It went back to the shop I bought it from and they upgraded it (for free) as well as sorting a couple of problems they found. Bit like the garage - I'm sure the price was OK just a lot of pennies.
Just seen where you are - does it mean anything if I say it was David himself who phoned to arrange return?
OK first cup of tea finished - need to shower and dress.0 -
Morning everyone, I spent half the night on the sofa as Jake wouldn't settle anywhere but the pram. So I woke up when Ollie woke up at 6.30, freezing cold and hunched in a bundle under my slanket. Little Prince is now fast asleep in his bed while I can barely keep my eyes open and have a very stiff neck
Anyway, wm is on and I'm decluttering a coffee - caffiene is the way forward today.
