I catch the occasional show. used to be more fun when OH wasn't complaining and trying to explain the probabilities and chances... numbers just go over my head. I like it more for the psyche aspect and the competitors reaction and interaction.

Yes I agree - there were some good episodes last week. The tension can be unbearable! I don't like to look when the boxes are being opened. _pale_ Yesterday it was a raft of emotions.

Grrrr checked out a T*sco order earlier for delivery tomorrow but can't get the magazine to load to check if there are any money off coupons I can use. :mad: Mag loading gets to 98% and gives up. Think I'm going to give up and head off to bed!

Oh and further grrr, took an item back to a shop today (that I hardly ever shop in) for a refund but got a gift card instead of money back as their policy is that if it isn't their mistake, its a gift card, not refund won't shop there again (After spent voucher).

Morning everyone

Husband back off to work today so fingers crossed for some time to finish 'muttley'!

Just wondered if you'd all filled in the questionnaire/stitching survey that reflects what you'd like to see in CrossStitcher (or not!), size, length, nature and complexity of projects etc?

As a new user, the message board won't let me post links **sigh**. If anyone wants the link to the survey please PM me and I'll send it to you.

It doesn't take all that long, plus there's a chance to win monetary prizes (high street vouchers of £300 and 2 x £100) and fingers crossed they listen to the feedback! The survey closes on 23rd July 2012.

Just off to deal with an overnight ant infestation - naughty little blighters...

Right I have a mission for all you lovely ladies should you choose to accept.

Years ago when I first started cross stitch, and I'm talking nearly 20 years ago now (massive gap in between, started up again last year) I did a quite basic design and when I got divorced I lost all my cross stitch.

Anyway I really want to find this design again, but I don't know what its called or even who made it. I've googled and googled but I can't find it.,

Basically it was 2 wolves lying down, possibly on the side of a cliff or a lake and up in the sky was a wolf's face, perhaps like an angel type thing if you see what I mean? It wasn't a very detailed chart, it was certainly no HAED but I am desperate to find it again. It was on a dark blue fabric.

The link below is similar to what it looks like, or on a similar vein IYSWIM. I know the wolves were sat on the other side, and the wolf face was in the top right hand corner, I think it was just plain white.

Any help in finding either the chart, the kit or even the name of it would be so, so appreciated.

I have a feeling my wishlist is now going to reach astronomical proportions - have put that Wolf Eyes Chart on watch
