    Yes I am a Saints fan - and hate losing to Wigan, but at least I don't work in Wigan anymore so I won't be taunted at work next week!

    Me too, but I now live in the Dark Side :o It's good driving round in my car that's plastered with Saints stickers when we've won. It's also fun going somewhere like Huddersfield and people thinking we're getting onto the M62 the wrong way - I keep hoping some hapless Saints fan will follow me :D

    Those dirty Pies, grrrrrrr :mad:

    Well done on finishing the R-M tile Erics Mum, it looks brilliant! I plan on getting that done sometime....probably on our holiday this summer.
    hiii bubbles....... welcome back!!

    haa wouldn't hunt tooo farr Keiss...... i put on my summer dress today..... now we have ...... HAIL STONES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Oh dear chicky, that's no fun! We had a few very loud rumbles of thunder, then the wind got up...and the temperature dropped 10 degrees C in half an hour :eek: ...but no rain...or hailstones!!

    I did find a couple of tops and skirts...but could well be back in my trousers tomorrow...we'll see. :)

    My poor dad in Scotland was so cold today, he lit his fire as well as having his heating on (didn't get above 10 deg C)! It's amazing the temperature difference across the country atm.

    Right off to get more of the Elegant Lady stitched ...managed a couple of hours yesterday.
    :j

    Have a great Easter Monday everyone...DH and I are taking DS1 back to Uni tomorrow; going out for lunch; doing a big food shop with him; then visiting friends and having tea with them on our way home...a lovely day...but no stitching I'm afraid! :o

    Linda - the RM tile is lovely - I do sometimes wash mine at 40C, but on a lower spin cycle at the end.

    That japanese lady pic looks very detailed for a 5x7, very striking :D


    tmif - Did you survive the jungle?? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    pennib - Congrats on finishing yoru caravan couple! :T

    nykied - I am sorry, but I have no idea what you're on about :o:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Keiss - good to hear you have been able to get more done on your elegant lady :)

    nmm - Looking great - I'm sure you will meet that deadline!!:j:j

    Mags_cat - they may be boring to stitch but there's no denying they produce a beautiful effect :T

    I did :) But it's still a little jungle like I must confess! I need to spend some money on it and get something done. It's just a pile of grass and usually dandelions. Must get some nice patio/decking done. Have a bathroom to do up first though really

    I have done nearly all the grass on Old McD now - not worth an update yet though, just green.

    St. Helens Rugby League Football Club. Rugby league - the greatest game. No falling over because the wind has ripped off a leg hair and having to have acting time added on to each half. And certainly no holding each other up to catch a ball or clapping and kicking.

    Rugby league, the greatest game :D

    Talking of kicking, I need to biggest kick to get started on my current bit of stitching :o
