Another lurker here! did you know that with wordle if you type any word more that twice it makes it come out bigger than the others? I put in Bible passages for Church displays and they always look great.

Hi Debbie, - dont lurk ur amongst friends, - hope ur ok.

We had intended on a bit of a family day with Miss Hoodie, - all ok dad took us into town then started with breakfast at McDonalds, love bacon and egg Muffin!!

Lost Grandad Hoodie (plan - he go home) went to Peacocks - as its only place miss Hoodie likes her underwear from as they do proper ladies Boxer shorts - stocked up, wondering around town (me on mobility scooter - lost count of the near misses) just working through Boots to go to the upper level - next thing Miss Hoodie I dont feel well, - hold on get you a tissue - too late she had puked up all over the floor, one customer came rushing across, apologised and then held Miss Hoodies hair back.... the staff were amazing, got her a chair, fetched her a glass of water went and got a pack of baby wipes off the shelf to help clear up, our good Smaratian lady stayed with us, 2 customer came up and moaned how disgraceful it was - for hecks sake shes a 10 yr old child.......
This lady bless her gave Miss Hoodie her cardigan, as she was shaking and upset, we offered to get it cleaned for her - she said dont be daft just drop it off at this shop next time in town,

Ended up emergency purchase leggings and tshirt - I asked the bloke in the shop could he reach me a tshirt down - (he was the member of staff / manager) he turned round and said I'm not your slave, haven't you got legs you can use........ so I politely told him to stick his clothes - that got daughter that was covered in sick or did he need glasses - and yes I do have legs - but being as the tshirt 5ft up on the wall couldn't reach.

went to the next shop - they couldn't do enough.

Emergency visit to loo - quick wash and change - and we were off.

She was pale but wanted to get her couple of bits from town, we were in £1land and saw a little incense and tealight set - brought it and took it to the lady who had been our good smaratian, she burst into tears - nicest thing anyone had done. Turned out she was a shop owner of a posh sweet and gift shop!!

Good news Miss Hoodie ok, bit pale, but no more probs, - so lie in 2mor xxx

mrs-moneypenny

mum2one

I love that wordie, I used it to make up my sign for my craft stall in the shape of a heart. Would look fab framed as you say Echo.

I have put a bid on some books on Ebay (for the bags), fingers crossed. Are you going to buy handles or make them up yourself?

I'm not sure to be honest ........ I think I will decide once I've chosen the lining for them , see if that lends itself to being made into handles . Might be a nicer finish to have "proper" handles though . Haha I'm so fantastically decisive tonight !! :rotfl:

Ooh a Wordle tee shirt is a fantastic idea !

Hope that all having a good weekend and that Miss Hoodie is all better now poor thing .

Sorry to hear about Miss Hoodies incident, nice that someone came to help xx

Echo, I won one of the books on Ebay yesterday, need 4 altogether, have bids on another two which finish later in the week, lost one yesterday so need to find another one. I'm going to have a look at handles and see how much they cost. Will probs have a look on Etsy first. There is always the boot fairs if we ever get to one. OH was supposed to be off today but has gone in for overtime.
