Yet more financial faux pas and many other disasterous decisions

Try the IMG link instead of the direct link - seems to work for me. Just click on the IMG text box, and it'll say 'copied' for a couple of seconds - then simply past into your draft message.

Will look like the text code until you preview your post or submit it, at which point it 'turns into' the picture.

Sorry for crashing your thread moo - and am very impressed with your view, your knitting talent and your reduced hours....

Thank you Nora!! [and moo too]

It worked! A lovely picture of the Captain's rear end is on my diary, you have to read the thread relating to it, to understand!

Moo's coat is amazing isn't it? I am filled with envy at those who can create beautiful things, it must be so very satisfying.

Love the coat Moo and I know my DD would love it too.

I have a bone to pick with you in that making me sign up for a ravelry account because I just had to see the coat meant that I just had to have a little search and as I have just learnt that I am to be a grandmother again think I might have a go at this

The Pony Club jumper arrived. V. glad I have two children as the sizing is a complete joke. Went for a 34" as it allowed a lot of growing room but most bizarely it has 13" sleeves, they're are far too short for DD1 who has arms lie an orangutan. DD2 was ecsatic when she discovered this. Spent two hours sewing on badges and still have a pile to go.

Finished work at lunchtime, although I have to go in at some point over the weekend to assess the carnage left from last nights dissco and to clean up after holiday club. Meant I got to watch the DDs being body slammed from adult shoulder height onto a crash mat at Aikido. From the giggles it was obviously a lot of fun.

Spent the evening knitting and made it as far as casting off but gave in part way through and went to bed. Think I have about 600 stitches to go. May well take it tothe swimming pool party this afternoon as DD2 has a party there and the invite is rather unclear whether parents are allowed to join in. I know its usually anticipated that you dump and run but this involves water and an inflatable obstacle course so its the closest I'll ever get to Total Wipeout without the nation seeing me in a swimming cozzie.

Managed to do yesterdays weekly shop for under £15. Forgot soya milk so will need to pick that up mid week. Still wading my way through cupboards with minimal visible impact, if anything the more we eat the more we unearth further back in the cupboard.

Morning moo!

Busy as always, I see! I'm with you on the not been seen in a cozzie, I don't want to see me in it, why should I subject anyone else to the sight?

How old/big are the DDs, I have some bits of riding gear, but I am larger than a child, quite considerably really... so they probably won't be of much use to you. I do have some hardly worn chaps and riding boots though.

The weekly shop figure is excellent, in fact, amazing, very impressed. It's not easy to feed a family on that.

Morning Piq!

I figure the sight of me in a cozzie will be most impressive providing I suck in my belly and bum, pull back my shoulders, shove out my boobs and walk really quickly to the pool before the need to breathe kicks in. Usually the sight of my boobs attempting to escape fromt he confines of the cozy is enough to stop most people noticing the wibbly bits.

Despite being children neither of the DDs are normal child sized. DD1 is 9 with adult size 4 feet, a 26" inside leg and the waist of a 5 year old. Shes already teetering on the brink of the 5' mark. DD1 is gargantuin. At 12 shes already 5'5" with size 7 feet, a 28" inside leg with a 28" waist and wears adult size 8-12 clothes (usually mine).The only difference between her and me is 6" of height and boobs.

Would be even more impressive if we hadn't just run out of onions or spent a furter £4 this morning on a kilo of whoopsied cheese and a box of whoopsied imitation Mr Kipling apple pies.
