    Congrats Shrimpy!! And good luck to OH too - all change hopefully!

    Will keep an eye out Beccie - is it any stories or sort of serious ones only?

    That's a good deal Birdie! Sadly no Oxfam stores really close to me. I'm bad in that I only really donate to the charity shops nearby that are easily accessible by car :o Was chatting to a girl at work yesterday and she posted some ebay parcels last week that would have previously cost £4ish and they were £7ish! :eek: Going to go through my ebay bag tonight but for those prices I think I'll just send everything to the chazza shop.

    Fingers crossed for the errant MDF Lara!

    Re. Achievement April - those in the FB group might have seen my Millionaire's Shortbread from last night. It's getting better but I'm not counting it just yet! I am counting my football scarves and some baby taggie things though, and beating my previous time in Sundays run and getting on the telly :p - so I'm at 3!

    Hey beccie what about this story? I saved it due to the similarities with Daniel in the lion's den bible story. I plan to use it in our junior church but it's a pretty interesting story nonetheless. Shows a different side to "fierce" lions

    Ooh well done Tete. I'm currently replacing a broken zip then will start on one of the projects I have set to have finished in time for AA. I had planned to spend all day on it but DS's godmother asked me to do this zip for her and I couldn't say no really.

    Congratulations on the job shrimpy. And good luck for OH too

    Thanks all :D

    Tete - where did you get those ribbons! I am severely jealous! I love a good stash! The taggies are gorgeous.

    Wow that's an amazing (and also awful) story Star! I do love cats, big or small!

    You're very good, I find it much easier to make something from scratch than alter something :eek:

    I know. Awful that things like that go on in the world but amazing that they looked after her until someone found her

    I think that every time I agree to alter something. :rotfl:

    Shrimpy the ribbons are from a local cheapy department store called Boyes - they have a fantastic budget fabric and habby section, don't know what I'd do without it!

    Here is the news clip - we're the ones in the blue tops at about 10 seconds (I'm at the back) and you can catch a glimpse of me running past in the top right hand corner at about 40 seconds - it was a very fleeting brush with fame!

    Was it 'fab' and 'exhilarating' Tete? :D
