    Froddy healing vibes for Auntie.:o

    Didn't get back on here yesterday, BUT I did get two frogs eaten. Mr LW decided he wanted to watch a couple of TV programmes we'd got recorded after he finished work (if we're not careful, we get too much backlog, as we record them faster than we watch them);) I can't abide just sitting watching the idiot-box, so I finished making the cross-stitch insert for the light-swtich surround for the spare room (Frog #1), and then tidied out the box I keep all my embroidery cotton, material, knitting needles, and such-like in (Frog #2).:T

    I've done today's and tomorrow's rooms - easy ones towards the end of the week, bedroom and spare room.;) Mr LW has another Early shift, wfh tomorrow, so Flying would not be easy - he'll need a constant supply of tea, and he'll want his dins midday, so it's best to get the Flying out of the way early if possible.:o

    Hi all

    We were out this morning, but I had done the kitchen dailies first and made the beds. Back at 12.30.

    Check draught excluder around the doors/make a sausage draught excluder

    Have also been doing a bit of sewing. DD has a taggie blankie which is her comforter. We made them patchwork quilts last year out of some of daddy's things, and I wanted to make a mini comfort blankie to decorate one of the squares. So I've been stitching some fleece together this aft with ribbons all round the edges. She has decided she wants to keep it, so that is a good sign. I put an extra ribbon loop so we can attach it with a button to the quilt, then a) I don't ruin the quilt, and b) she can remove it to chew it or whatever she does to make them so manky :rotfl:

    DS looked jealous, so I showed him what I'd started to make for his quilt (just run out of black thread for the outline) and he said "I love it" :D so no one is being left out... :o

    Hi there.

    Just a quick update - have been busy in the bungalow, we've cleaned & hoovered through, done all floors and dusting; changed the bed and sorted the fridge etc; walked next door's dogs; I met a friend for coffee and have also been to work! All this today as we go for a weekend near London from tomorrow lunchtime until Sun night. So I'll be missing in action for a few days, but this place will be nice to come back to.

    Good wishes and vibes to all those poorly, I've read back that there are quite a few poorly children, too, so all good vibes there.

    Have a good weekend and 'see' you next week, R x

    I realise this is an exceptionally stupid question, but could someone just remind me how to subscribe to a thread? I've been trying to remember to save this one to my Favourites Bar every day and I know there is a method of subscribing, but I just can't find it? TIA.
    Better is good enough.
