I have finished task 3 on my list


I did feel like that last night i must admit, as i have over 2000 pins :eek: i did have a moment 'what the hell am i doing? am i really going to make half of this' :rotfl:

I have changed my mind about the deers heads. I need to concentrate on the forest. Which is why I was on Pinterest. I won't be able to afford to buy enough trees, so I am going to make some.

I have found it easier now I have a few (96) pins. I can now look at what other people that pinned the same as me looked at. So at least we have the same tastes. There are some weird things pinned out there. And why do people pin the same thing 5 times ?

I have followed everyone that is linked in the page 2 post. I have also added my page.
( no pressure but I have NO followers) :rotfl:

Up to date again, love reading the posts, it is the time l struggle with!
so sorry wuvvie that your daughters hormones are making her hurt you, I hope the aliens return the genuine article safely, soon. I think the advice you have been given is sound (our club is noted for its good sense ) and it is just going to take time for her to realise who really loves her.
Someone asked what love cake is, some people call it courting cake, but it is a rubbed in sponge, using lard and marge, rolled out thin, spread one half with jam, fold the other bit over, put in a tray, press it to fit, !!!!! with fork, bake, sprinkle with sugar, eat!
I noticed it didn't make the sale table, one of DGS teachers bought it, and another bought the gingerbread, (she usually does, so it is guaranteed income for the school or the cause).
Busy yesterday doing not a lot, but spent an hour with my friend, she is going on a cruise today, away for a fortnight, I will miss her. (She is the one I am doing the 'mindfulness' course with to keep her company,)

today I need to start packing for the London trip, so my list for this week is a short one, 1) write 10 cards 2) buy cranberry jelly 3) design adult advent calendars and source any materials I need.
JuniorJ you amaze me, all this going on and you have that signature, makes me very humble. Get well please

mrsinvisible

have just read the above post, !!!! is pr1ck for some reason, the daft machine thinks l'm swearing! lol

It's my Birthday today. :bdaycake: Happy Birthday to me:D There's only me and DD here as husbanf has taken son and friends off to a gaming convention in London. I did tell them I didn't mind, in case anyone thinks that's mean, when it was first floated as an idea earlier this year as an alternative to them not being able to go to the Minecon convention due to it being held in Florida. There's only a week inbetween mine and husband's birthday so we frequently do x for mine and y for his, so we'll do a celebration next week instead, when at least we'll have been paid. I hate paydays that fall on Mondays and though I'm weekly paid, I'm an agency worker and didn't have any work last week.

I have birthday money though.:T and DD's request is that we go to both town and Meadowhall today.:eek: Setting off soon. Hope the shops are full of Christmassy stuff for me to stare at. :rotfl:

Omo can you put s links to your pintrest I've no idea how to find things I'm a clicker on links.

No advent boxes in Disney store yesterday and I'm not a fan of on line shopping. My friend highly recommended the slushy maker cup she says you put the cup in the freezer for so many hours then pour your drink in squeeze it snd it turns into a slushie.
It was going to be a present from smartie elfkins but at £13 I think it can wait until Christmas.

Wuvvie I was horrid to my mum at that age I just couldn't see her point and thought her whole purpose in life was to ruin mine just be consistent as if she gave an inch I'd push more sorry not much help but it does come good in the end.
