Hi everyone

Not had too bad a day, OH is a little better this evening. He is on nights until the end of August so a while to go yet. He does 3 nights then two off then two nights then three off if that makes sense but they are 12 hour nights plus 40 mins drive there and back. We went to the town this morning and he decided to buy some wall paper to do the bottom half of the dining room as we only did the top half last time we did the room. We have been putting that up all afternoon and it looks nice, its a bit bumpy at the moment as we went over other paper to save time but it should be flat by the morning.

YD has been doing a painting all afternoon of her and BF as a present for him as she hasnt seen him for two weeks bless. She was away last week then he went away Saturday and she didnt come back until the Sunday.

I didnt get any sewing done today after all, I will have to do it tomorrow and try to keep the door shut so I dont wake OH up.

Angela -OH been eating once we discovered he wasn't having op. Hasn't seen a doctor all day, I didn't get the phone call from consultant I asked for but ward sister is going to grab him tomorrow and find out whats going on.
OH all set to pack his back tomorrow anyway -reckons if he does it in the morning it'll give them time to sort out his meds and paperwork by evening............lol
Can you believe this afternoon the staff spent half the time moving the women to the mens ward and men to the womens.........one poor old man was really confused and bewildered. Honest, I despair.

Anyone know a website I can get some felt from ? Our shop only sells the bright colours and I'd like some nice subtle ones for my hearts and stuff:)

The fleece i ordered at the weekend arrived today and I think its the wrong size so will be going back. Instead I have reserved two from spargos to collect tomorrow for £4.99 and £5.99 and then found one in mum's size somewhere else local for £6.99

The scarves I ordered are ok - not sure if they're worth keeping yet - maybe as the price was ok (£12.49)

Fleece £4.99 + £4.99 +£6.99
Waterproof lightweight coat - £12.99
2x Olay skincare £3.98
Total - £33.94

Cost of fleece ordered before - £24.99

Not bad result there - all reduced in spargos and found the coat on offer elsewhere at double the price so pretty pleased and the winter walking hamper is almost done!

Hobby craft has felt Mary or Ebay - What colours do you need? I have some off cuts hanging around somewhere.

You'll be finished before you know it, at this rate.

Thanks Elysia - bought for the mini man

That's good knit. I'm pleased it helped. I bought it too.

Anglea

Only a quickie, hi girls

Mary, someone on that crafts photo thread you and I both visit mentioned getting felt from Tescos this week. I didn't know they sold it.

elysia2003

Our's sells it Anglea - It's an Extra store though, and they only do dark colours. That's why I didn't mention it.
