i eventually replied to the one they sent it from - but no reply yet. Apparently there is also a web form on their site.

However e-mailing the CEO produces faster results

I spotted that kit on Sew & So and was going to pop in and mention it. Thanks Bothy Threads for bringing it out in cross stitch! And well done to everyone who emailed them to suggest they do so. :T What else shall we ask to be done in cross stitch???

i had an email from yahoo admin this morning saying loads of accounts have been hacked and the advised changing your password if you have an email account with them

Yeah a lot of people got hit by it.

It was my yahoo and hotmail - no messages were sent from hotmail though thankfully. All passwords changed again and things back to normal. I don't know why hackers do it :mad:



Not much stitching being done here, it's taken me a fortnight to complete a 4-hour monkey

Its ridiculous what hackers do. What would they get out of using your email address :mad: im with yahoo but ive been ok I think. How can you tell it's been hacked?


No stitching here today. Well I did sew a back on my mums cross stitch bookmark for mothers day. Ive been sewing pin wheels together for my course work.

Off to the gym tonight might get chance to stitch later

Totally off topic..

Some of the regulars will remember that before my hubby left his job we had booked a holiday and were paying for my Mum and Dad to go along as their Christmas present. I have been selling everything on eBay and saving like mad but was still coming up short.

As a surprise my Mum's sister, hubby and their daughter are also coming along, but my parents don't know this yet.

My aunt and her family are in a very comfortable position and she came to see me the other night to see how I was getting on with paying for it. I told her I would get there but unsure as to how. I was gobsmacked when she told me she will give me £1500 to help out. I told her no. I would be happy for her to lend me it but not to give me it. She told me she doesn't want it back but I do want to pay her back at £100 a month.

My aunt is lovely and is very generous, but this is just to much. I know she won't actually take it from me so I was going to post some to her every month. Her hubby does not know she is doing this. They do not open each others post but if I was sending cash I would want to send it recorded and he might wonder what was going on if she started getting recorded letters once a month.

She is going to transfer the money into my account. Does this mean I will have her account details, would I be able to transfer money into her account.

Does anyone have any ideas ?
