    Can any of you advise me on the cheapest cello bags please? Does anyone have any recommended sellers?

    Hello all :j

    Toothfairy -well done:T and good luck with op:)

    Just realised the date and I've still got foster daughters pressie to finish off for the end of the month and anything I want to make for sons birthday as we're going down to see him end of the month !!:eek: Panic will set in if I don;t get my knickers out of the twist they're in !!

    Been ploughing through the census form.......crikey don't want to know much do they ?...............lol
    Not sure what to do with it though as we won't be here on March 27th..............does that mean we still have to fill it in as if we were here ?

    OH went out in the garden to tidy up......wasn't out there long its so bloomin' cold !! Lovely sunshine but very deceiving.

    Hope you're all ok............:)
    I would be unstoppable if only I could get started !

    Mary, I think you will find that where ever you are on the night of the census day the persons house you are in will fill theirs in and add you to it as a visitor. May be you want to ring the council or who ever it is from and ask in advance so you know xx

    Sorted out my pile of gifts again yesterday on top of the wardrobe, getting quite a lot up there now, my box I use is filled to the brim and have another pile of bits in bags so they dont get dirty next to it.

    Think I might get another Vista order done this morning as got a bit of money spare today. Need to order a mug and thought I would get my friend a notebook and pen for Christmas and may be something else to go with them. Will get another baseball cap as well.

    Hello all :j

    Rang the census helpline and it said to fill the form in which I thought we;d have to do and when we're at Travelodge in Worthing they'll have to add us to their list of visitors.
    Then applied for blue badge and appl. form being sent. It'll take about 6 weeks............why these things always seem to take so long I'll never understand.
    Not done much as soc.worker was here this morning and it sort of throws the day somehow and I couldn't get on with anything else.
    Must sort out load of paperwork tomorrow before my letter rack falls over with exhaustion !! Half of it will only need filing away -keep saying I'll deal with stuff as it comes in but never do..........organised I'll never be................lol:)

    Hope you're all ok:)

    Glad you got it all sorted Mary x

    Just been out to met my friend and we popped in the charity shop while up there, had only been in yesterday but today they had a lovely dressing up skirt which I bought for my grand daughter, going to put it away towards her birthday. Piccy on this link

    Hi Clare

    I get my cello bags from Wilkinsons card making section: they have 3 different sizes I think, and they are £1.05 for 25, so 4p each. Nice quality too, not too flimsy. Hope this helps.
