Birdie85

We should have a threadie Christmas party where we make festive fascinators! :j

Boo to being cold in the office Tete, that's no fun.

Sorry to hear that you're having a crummy time Poolie, hope things look up soon.

thanks for the KG Link Dinah, think I've chosen some as a starting point..! Might have to hold off till pay day though before I treat myself! ooo and thanks for the Aldi Tip NIM! I think I'm good for snow shoes for now but i will bear it in mind.. might not look so good in the office or with winter dresses though..!

Poolie so happy to hear from you but not about all of the bad stuff going on with you right now I hope you feel better soon and you sort everything else out with your job and Mrs P. I think that on the job front what ever happens you can see it as an opportunity! So annoying about the house though, i hate when other people change their mind so late and it affects you! Not fair! Are you looking for somewhere to rent?

We should deffo have a Threadies christmas party!!!

Pattern drafting is ok once you get the hang of it Tete.. And if you want to base something on a garment you already have you dont have to destroy it, just turn it inside out (helps if its not lined) and follow the seams to pick out the shapes of each piece and draw around it/make a pattern for it, just dont forget to add a seam allowance, and watch out for darts etc!

Birdie they are accounts where you just have to move the money through then but it just seems to get complicated and I do it for OH too but he never remembers to move it out! Agree that the halifax £10/month is the easiest money ever though! I've been letting mine build up a bit so I can withdraw £30ish at a time and then buy something with it/put it into my savings maybe I'll check my balance then buy some boots...! I just need to keep on top of my spreadsheets!

Certainly am, unless the lottery comes up tonight - fat chance.

Oh now have a cold on top of my tonsillitis. Could my health get any better at the moment!

Poolie the illness' will be coming from you being so run down at the moment. You need to make sure that you are looking after yourself properly.

So sorry to hear about you and Mrs P Poolie. Thinking of you

Congrats ROTE. How are you getting on?

Hi to everyone else! Just back from a week on the Lisbon Coast. The kiddies had a ball. Evie turned 1 a couple of weeks ago too. Can't beleive my baby is 1!

Quick update, Grace is back in hospital. She's been breathing a bit fast all weekend, but today she hit 100 breaths per minuite (should be 45-60) so she's in for observation. So far tests have come back normal, so fingers crossed it's nothing.

Hugs dinah and NIM. Hopefully it's nothing but at least she's in the best place for now

Thinking of you - I'm sure it's nothing to worry about but you've done the right thing taking her in. Keep us posted (you know how we worry!) xx

Hope Gracie's OK, maybe she just missed seeing the nice doctors and nurses?!

Hope everyone's had a good weekend. It feels like autumn is well and truly here now; I'm wearing lots of layers, the heating is on in the office and it's still dark outside. Yep, summer's over!

N.I.M

You still have all your limbs, quit ya whingin. Nah, I feel your pain mate, hopefully it'll clear up soon.

In kind of related news, parents beds in the local paediatric unit are surprisingly comfortable.
