MG - The Matrix Re-wired

Dorastar

Thank you so much Horace
"I do know the difference between a knob end and a crankshaft:rotfl:" -
that so made me laugh - so do I (I live with one and work with another:rotfl::rotfl:)

Igamogam - was just an idea - or you can come and work in my school when I get one:T

One more day till a long weekend and DH is away so I am going to gut our room in a mega declutter - have already bought a serious box for wrapping paper as one of my bugbears is buying rolls of the stuff and then going to wrap a pressie just to find the paper tidied aka screwed up and shoved under the stairs or coloured in by DS while DH was 'looking after' him! Figure it will save us £ in the long run.

Igamogam - sorry thought you were closer since God's own country is Lancashire

:T Wow, well done Dorastar! That's an amazing amount.

We've paid about the same and that's not much over the minimum payments :eek: Oh my ..., we are in way over our heads

Morning Matrix. Up with the lark again, but this time, I was woken by the alarm and not coughing my lungs up. Don't get me wrong... as soon as I was awake, I began coughing my lungs up... I just didn't do it when I was asleep. I think that might be progress, of a sort!

So my plans today are not very well formed. I think I might just take it easy again, although I do need to do the shopping for the weekend. We are supposed to be going to a rugby match tomorrow, but to be perfectly honest, the idea of going fills me with horror. I think hubby might be going alone. I don't want to catch whatever else is flying about do I? And how can I cheer for our team when every time I open my mouth I cough? These are my leading excuses at the moment.

Positive vibes to the whole matrix for today. Have a great day!

Morning all. Well that St Anthony's prayer has done it's magic again. Our teapot, which disappeared without trace in February, has reappeared again!
Must be a bank holiday weekend, weather gone downhill again. Going to carry on with the card I am making for friend's wedding. I got Kirstie's Homemade home from the library, together with the other homemade home book, and there is some information about crochet. I last tried to crochet when I was in the guides about 40 years ago (Abba crochet hats were all the fashion) and it didn't turn out well, so I think I am about ready for another go.

St Anthony totally rocks! I appeal to him A LOT cos my house is like a blackhole with stuff!

Crochet is brilliant. Have a go. I love knitting and crochet but I think crochet is my fave because it is half the utensils and twice the speed! :rotfl: There are brilliant tutorials available on you tube, or you can do what I did - teach yourself and do it in a completely different way to anybody else. :rotfl: Although apparently I crochet in the continental way... which I never knew!

Hmmm... knitting. Yes. I think that might be the way I spend my day. Other than shopping. A necessary chore, but one of my least favourite ones!

MOrning ladies - heres a mini challenge I was set this morning.

What are your plans for this Bank Holiday weekend? If you are not making plans for your time - who is? And you love that or resent that?

Oh Boy - so my washing machine is on, bread maker churning, soup in slow cooker, bathroom has been cleaned and I am about to put away the last of my ironing ...................... I am NOT spending the Bank Holiday weekend doing housework.

Off to see how much I can cram in before the school run

Thanks Crickett. I knitted a frilly scarf following a You tube tutorial, so that together with the book might help.
The guide leader who tried to teach me last time gave up cos I just kept ending up with a big knot!

This bank holiday weekend is for catching up with friends if the house is messy and not all the washing gets done then I really don't care.

Soooo, yesterday four applications sent, two here and two back home. Today one sent here and - ooooh - there is an accountancy practice back home interested in me. Need to send email there later today.

I think I have made up my mind. I really want to go back home. It is all sort of happening at the moment to confirm that. So watch this space. However there is this little pesky thing to deal with first - two exams in June. Plan is to study in the mornings and declutter in the afternoons. That leaves evenings to get on with the animal work that I want to do. Crickett, you are first on my list, I promise.
