    Morning Pippi

    Enjoy your busy day. I will catch up with you later. I am hoping to resurrect or start anew my diary later today, but for now I must get working.

    Hmmm, I'm now confused.....I called the bank to chase up my mortgage application and spoke to a man who sounded more confident he knows what the heck he is talking about, and he said that we didn't need to reapply for the mortgage, just call the relevant Broker's helpline and change the figures and they'd send the paperwork straight away! WTFlipping nora is going on??

    I've emailed my broker and told him this, who knows what the answer will be. I get the feeling he thinks I'm being a right PITA about all of this but of course I don't want to have to pay a redemption penalty for his lack of care on my application! I have slightly more of a vested interest than him!

    Guess I just keep on packing in the meantime!

    Hi KK don't you feel like you're always saying in your head *just keep packing... just keep packing* along the lines of Nemo's friend. Our piles are now the latest in climbing frames for puddy cats, i think they're the only ones in our place who appreciate them being there.
    Hope you get your broker sorted, any chance of turning up on his doorstep and not moving until he's made the call? I'm getting to feel that way with the solicitors.

    Pippi don't work too hard with your wombling and personal gubbins :)

    It's crazy isn't it KK, hope you can get things sorted soon...what you need is some joined-up-financial/house-selling-folk!!

    Your poor garden Pippi....still, at least there is something alive!!

    Have had this is our family garden oop north, the best places for growing things are where there is a 10-foot high sheltering wooden slatted fence...and with netting over the top to prevent "swap-damage"! Dad still grows his roses in pots in this sheltered area and takes them into the greenhouse for the winter, seems to work! The greenhouse is also inside this fence and has lasted the longest of all the greenhouses we've had!! All the others (3) were blown away :eek:

    Had a go at making bere-banocks yesterday...not very successfull: brown/burnt on the outside, raw in the middle...back on to fully carbonize the outside, but not really any further cooked in the middle :mad::mad:

    Cheered myself up by sewing: made a pin-cushion and a patchwork cushion cover panel yesterday. Going to make something Valentine-y for DH this afternoon...got caught up with 'puter work this morning. :o

    Need to get my seed collection out and make plans, but will have to wait untill later on in the week. In a sewing groove atm, so need to keep it up!

    Might have a go at making a morsbag...could make a few and send them up to you if you want ;) I have a collecion of quilt-covers which will come in useful!!

    Right, off to get some warming soup inside me, then back to the sewing machine.

    Have a great day/week everyone xx

    (have got some delphiniums - unopened - from 1982 :rotfl:)

    **shhhhh they're as old as me !***

    Hello all. glad everyone is starting to feel better.

    KK :mad: another complication. I do hope you get it sorted soon

    Pippi - would love to join your bag making pod - shame it's a bit of a distance. I'm just getting back into my sewing again after a couple of years break. I've just started making the pattern for my birthday party outfit and I can't wait to start sewing it

    congratulations on becoming a local celeb too ;)

    Sorry about cluttering up your thread with my grrr'ness about the house, but I promise I will be making lots of virtual cakes and goodies - both with wheat and gluten/dairy free soon to celebrate the move :)

    Great advice there! :A I will try and not work too hard - today I went to the po, went to a cafe cheery likes very much (egg butty and a cuppa tea for 2.72!) then work meeting with a local womens group, then a work/cuppa with a chum. Now I'm back to work on website for work and then out tonight at a 'crafty chatty' evening

    :rotfl:doesn't sound like hard work does it?:rotfl:


    I'll be out til 9pm tonight whilst fun, work.:A

    Starnac you young thing you! I'm glad you're into stitching too - I'm really looking forward to getting into it too :)

    I'm off to potter about on work website and think constructive things.

    Starnac you young thing you!

    :rotfl::rotfl: I bet when you all read about cheery's seeds you were all thinking "how old are those seeds?" :rotfl: I, on the other hand am having an age related crisis!! :eek: I've got a big birthday coming up this year and always said I would spend my 29+1 ( ;) ) birthday in bed with the covers over my head crying :cool: or getting so drunk I wouldn't notice ;) I've decided not to go with either and have a party. It's going to be a masquerade though so it'll be a bit of a laugh and then the day after (the sunday) we're getting DS christened. So we're making a weekend of it. :T

    Hope everyone is well this sunny but cold morning

    Er, in the interests of honesty, I should point out that these ancient seeds were given to me by someone else (who also couldn't bring herself to throw them out, but who was also blatantly never going to plant them :rotfl:)

    I am, in fact, only two years older than the seeds (and therefore starnac too) :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    :p
