That is a big list indeed! Ooh shiny green nails.. saw somewhere yesterday that green/ teal varnish is very 'in' this season.. so get you being all fashionable as well as doing 700000000 things!

Happy to hear about Max

Morning all, just popping on briefly to say "hello" and see how you all are.

Good to see you are getting loads done Pippi...I should be writing more lists too, but I tend to lose them oonce I write them!

Great to hear Max is on the mend greenval :T

Been busy making things and seeing various medical folk this past week, as well as working. Haviing a hernia op next Tuesday (in and out same day...hopefully!!), so needing to get things done and organised for the two weeks I can't drive. Will be a great excuse to get more things done for the Xmas fairs though! . Finished off making 16 icicle decorations yesterday. Will post piccies later, but don't want to stay on 'puter too long...it gobbles up all my time don't you know!!

Right, washing needs hanging out, then off into town to do a bit of shopping, as well as going to an exhibition in town. It's only open at odd times and ends next week. Sounds like it is really good, lots of mixed-media creations, including quilts, pictures etc. I'll give a better report once I have been.

Have a great day/weekend everyone.

Ooh, I bought teal nail varnish the other day and have been admiring it all week - does that mean I'm fashionable too?? :j

Worked for free but got a big free basket of vegetables - I guess I worked for vegetables
Heard I got a new p/t voluntary post with slow food - yay - that will be exciting
New other paid p/t job on to begin with a bang on Wednesday - thinking cap on, meetings arranged for the first day
Had a carpet picnic with OH at lunchtime instead of going out for lunch - spent a wee bit on local yummy food but an 'out' lunch would have been alot more
Got ready for a 'garden/green' event tomorrow - basket of home grown produce sorted and cordial/jam/chutney/pickles etc
Thinking of a plan for tonight
Popped into see a pal on the way home - had a free cuppa

Pippi - The Slow Food thing sounds interesting, tell us more Working for vegetables sounds good to me :T As does a carpet picnic

Rodders has been a bit trying today Asleep now Hoping Puppy School tomorrow can tell me where I am going wrong

Busy weekend ahead - Puppy School in the morning, then a dash to my sister's with her birthday pressies to meet up with my nieces and maybe stop for tea and then Rodders and I are doing a Mini Schnauzer Grooming Workshop all day Sunday where they will teach me to groom/trim him myself so he may come home looking like a poodle :rotfl:

Have a good one all :cool:

Is it a Gwen Bailey puppy school? Only ask as I know she runs them/has a franchise thing going on, and I can highly recommend her books (she is affiliated with the Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors, who are properly trained etc not like self-taught whisperers")

No it isn't. It is a small, local, independent that has come highly recommended by the vets. This is our 2nd week and I am reserving judgement If it turns out this isn't right for us I will try somewhere else.
