    Maybe you should get them to sign up to your blog...


    Until I start ranting about them :D Actually I have had a few emails / PM's about "how did you get DF?" Maybe I should write a little about the strategies I did use and why some weren't right for me.

    Your parcel arrived - with a beautifully tied string knot - which is now wrapped around the top of a clootie dumpling in the big slow cooker. I think I am turning into my Granny :rotfl: Well I am sure here is a ball of string somewhere here, but can I find it??? Its probably disappeared into the "Toddler Triangle":D

    LOL. Our new granddaughter arrived at 9.30 this morning (GMT) so that's another one for the total.

    We've even seen her on Skype already!:cool: It's a small world now.

    Wonderful news, Tricia - health, wealth and happiness to the little lady, her parents and her grandparents.

    The Universae be with her!

    So, I'm 2,866,377,091... :D

    I must have mentioned the tale shared by a B&B owner in Hay on Wye... while clearing the house belonging to a deceased elderly relative, a beautifully labelled box was discovered on a shelf.
    The label read: "Pieces of string too short to be any use at all"
    And the contents were exactly as stated. :rotfl:

    But in my defence this was a useful piece of string - the clootie dumpling is smelling wonderful!!!

    OMG!!! My two friends have had such a wake-up call this afternoon. We won't need lights on tonight as their LBM is shining s bright.

    I think showing them in Black and white that £800 pcm can keep my family and overpay a mortgage just a little bit was a bit of a shocker.

    All knitting is just plain and purl, so you'll be just fine :)
