    *pulls on much purple lycra and fetching choice of head and wrist bands*

    Number one, done and dusted

    *with the aid of a hoist and four strong men removes aforementioned lycra - too many "crevices" on show* :o

    *joins the Samaritans in order to counsel the four strong men* Oooo, hello there dearie, what did that nasty ol' Freeby make you do.... ;):D

    Well, I did money transfers yesterday, so I'm not declaring that as an NSD (grrrr, wish I'd thought about it!!)...but today...oh today will be mine, young Freebyious, today will be mine!!

    *scuttles off to lock herself in the house away from the shops*

    *raises head, meercat style* a cape and a superpower object you say?? *links arms with Rosa* Let's talk....happy with a broomstick you know...especially if it can be flown...

    Well a broomstick for the domestic superpowers, but I still think you should have magic needles and of course wool (needles can be used for poking evil tyrants , wool for dealing with labyrinths and throwing nets over unsuspecting bad guys).

    a case of the "OMG, I'm back living at my parent's place with no prospects and no-one to blame but myself" blues. I get days like this - logically I know I'm in the right place, heading in the right direction etc. etc. but today I reserved the right to sulk about it.

    Of course, after a few hours of this, I had really just managed to annoy the hell out of myself by being so self-pitying. Therefore began a bit of a spring clean of the house to work my way out of the funk. Never fails me - much more sensible mood now, and with the added bonus of fresh linen on the bed and three sorted and decluttered rooms now just waiting for me to scrub them clean later today...fab!

    Oh sorry to hear you've been down :grouphug: but you are allowed to sulk every so often - it's completely understandable, it hurts when things don't go the way you wanted despite vast effort. Glad the springclean worked for you.

    Happy New Year Nora and everyone,:)

    Same same with the overdraft cancelling out any payments we made in December, but as long as it goes down in the new year then no worries, eh?

    Anyway Missus, where is this shop you promised us?:D

    i cannot believe that you've thrown over my offer of a freshly decorated, personalised room with copious nay endless amounts of housework for a broom!!!!!!! lol

    hope you managed to achieve your NSD and don't ever appologise for having a low day but that's a different way of working your way out of it, not one i have to admit i've tried before.

    Did you not see the 'super power-y-ness' of the broom??!! And now she says I can have magic pins and yarn too....I'll be like Wonder Woman with her magic lasso....though with a less skimpy outfit, otherwise I'd scare the kids! :D

    *wonders why LT though there was any competition!*;)

    Some of wonder woman's outfits weren't skimpy, but there were all..."uplifting"...

    Exactly - swooping from rooftop to rooftop, sidesaddle with your current scarf project lengthening as it ripples in the slipstream :D

    I'm knitting it as we speak!! Actually a good time to get an overview of where I'm at..... Still need to sort out website host, domain name etc - but again, have people ready and waiting to help. Just need to give them a call *note to self to be less antisocial!!*.

    Also need to photograph the glass, and sort out my blurb. Plus set up a FB link, and write at least the first entry on the associated blog....

    Hmmm, some way to go then! :D
