Just popping in to catch up, hope all is well. OMO I got free 6-month subscription to Ancestry with Family Tree Maker using Tesco Clubcard reward vouchers, I'm sure there's a thread on here somewhere. I spent £19 in vouchers to get 2012 platinum edition.

P.S. I'm wishing I'd got the Worldwide Edition now, with 6-month worldwide membership.

I did that last year.
I often think about getting worldwide cover but it is so dear. Not only that, I spend too much time on there now. My house would be a complete tip if I had records from all over the world to look for. :rotfl:

Hi Trendyjane - how about this Alan Dart pattern - it costs £2.50 to download but I've knitted plenty of his patterns and they are really well written giving super results. Its actually for a knitted horseshoe AND a lucky chimney sweep (Wedding day superstition) HTH xxx

Hi all
Sorry have just been lurking as not been feeling very good this week.

Nanamia-What fabulous news about your DSIL, so so happy for you all!

Well done to your DD msgigglewick. And fantastic progress with your christmas shopping! xx

Well we are baking up a storm here for our picnic tomorrow. Cookies are in the oven, next it will be cheese scones and muffins. Decided to have a nice home-made picnic, something a bit different to the usual rolls/sausage rolls/crisps etc. Just going to add some juice and fruit. Hopefully it will be a nice day, if not will just wrap up warm and hope theres not a torrential downpour like last time we went. Got there and as we walked in the gates it literally POURED down, it saw us coming! :rotfl:

Good morning everyone.

DS is still covered in chicken pox. I've not had them since I was a baby and have not been around any one who's had them but I assumed he'd be feeling really ill with them. He's perfectly fine in himself, running around and playing as usual. He's complained maybe a couple of times that they're itchy so I've been covering him in calamine lotion. I'm not complaining that he doesn't feel ill, far from it but he's not allowed back to school until the spots have gone and so I'm more than likely going to have to work from home next week. Something that will be very difficult if he's full of beans. :eek:

I am off out in Liverpool tonight for my bff's 30th birthday. I still feel rough with a head cold but I hardly ever go out so I'm determined to do my best to enjoy myself. :beer:

On the Christmas films in February discussion. DS and I watched Arthur Christmas yesterday! :rotfl:

You using piraton liquid too? It clears them up quicker and reduces itching
