    hello

    I know I only occasionally pop in and out on this thread, but I do enjoy reading it and realising I really should be doing something useful like you all do! I would like to learn to knit again and picked up a leaflet from hobbycraft that gives really good instructions! I was however looking for a leaflet on how to crochet as I was given a crochet needle for Christmas (last year) and haven't used it yet....might have to google that one!!

    The weather is miserable here, and I haven't sold any Amazon books in a few days...:( but I have been offered my first readit swapit today so need to choose a book I'd like from the persons selection.

    Now I need to go and do some clearing away of rubbish so we can move in this place!!

    Hugs

    M

    I have loved the florida pics as well, especially on a cold wet day like today! Thought I would add some of mine from our pearl anniversary holiday, I only needed the wheelchair for the parks as they are so vast!

    catowen, catzine and dlb, loving the Disney pics. :T Have only been as far as Disneyland Paris, and would love to go to Florida sometime, but totally agree, the holiday was one of the best we've ever had. At the time did feel quite reluctant to give up my two weeks on a beach for Disney, but seeing DDs faces when they met the Princesses will stay with me forever. You really can't help but get caught up in the whole Disney experience.

    Sorry I couldn't resist showing you this one. It really makes me laugh everytime I look at it as Sulley was really frisky and wouldn't let go!

    (Also, how do you insert the photo rather than the link?)

    oo I love sully!

    my ds2 loves lightening mcqueen - so i guess they now have "cars" at disneyworld now too!

    have found my disneyworld pics - I last went there when it was their 15th anniversary - so how long ago was that?!! and the castle has definately changed!

    Do they still do the Electric light parade in the evening? and tinkerbell and the fireworks?

    Csarina we stayed at a place called Crescent Lakes which was a good distance away from disney thank goodness as there is such a thing as too much and being totally over disneyed!;)

    At the villa we were right by a lake and from the pool we watched turkey vultures and eagles flying overhead. It was so quiet there as well. Hope to go back this year with our grown up kids.

    That is a lovely picture Busygirl! I put photos onto photobucket and then highlight the img link and copy and paste onto my reply. hth

    Shez they do still have the parade in the evenings and fantastic fireworks and tinkerbell. Hope you can get back there soon with your new littlies!

    Shez - the decs were for the Californian anniversary, think the castle is back to normal now, and the electric parade and Tinkerbelle during the fireworks are still there - and the fireworks were amazing when we went, all in time to the music and hearts and stars as well!!!
    We met Lightning McQueen (and Mator) in MGM -
