    Oh Lemon Tree you do make me laugh, a nice happy laugh, you have such a good way with words. You've actually reminded me I need to get my knitting needles out again, I have a disgusting amount of wool and it needs seriously tackled.

    Off to do something, don't quite know what yet, but something anyway.

    just a couple of problems -
    now had two lots of surgery cancelled for the forseeable future. I've got to go and see me doctor once the surgeon's letter has chance to get to him, and then see if he's actually going to heed what is recommended.
    work has been really tough for the last two weeks and doesn't look like there's going to be much improvement any time soon.
    our viewer has decided that our flat is too small for her - oh well
    and to top it all last night i got little more than 2 hours sleep because of spending so much time in pain, typical after seeing the relevant surgeon yesterday and saying it hadn't happened for a while.

    the smilley things in life that it's the weekend :) i'm home early :):) (ok only cos i feel lousy) tomorrow there's a crop and i really want to go :):):)

    enough about my woes, how's everyone else?

    Sorry you're having such a rough time. I hope you get a better night tonight - though most nights have to be better than that.

    So this wasn't the buyer for you. :( But if it's any consolation, at least it won't be going to someone with a grim face! Or at least not that particular grim face, and that leaves it open for the right buyer. :)

    Enjoy your crop! And we want to hear about it when you get back!

  • So sorry LT about the mardy viewer. I'm dreading all that starting, mine should be on market by next week. I'm not great with people and I'm generally the one with a smacked ar*e face :D People frighten me to death!!! It's blooming draining having to traipse people round, we had to do it for Mum last couple of years until we gave up. And why do they say it's too small, they've seen the blinking floorplans etc. grrrrrrrrr.

    You have totally inspired me with the knitting. Been racking my brains on what cheap but nice things to buy my massive extended family for Christmas and I think a home made scarf might just fit the bill. They'll all think I've flipped but at least it's a present!! I'll borrow my Mum's knitting needles and get cracking. I've not knitted for years! Who knows it might stop me eating into the bargain.

    I do so love lemon drizzle cake, it's my absolute favourite ;)

    Hi Lemon
    You have been having a rough few days. That is terrible about your surgery, keep insisting to your GP. I am sorry that your viewer fell through but there will be someone keep positive.

    Did you get much sleep last night? Try and take it slow over the weekend. Easier said than done I know.

    Lemon what is a crop? Sorry for being dumb !! (just remembered..your scrap-booking enjoy it)

    take care
    God bless
