    Evening all!

    Mentalist day at work, and still here, only an hour after my finish time :( Should be leaving soon... and before you ask, no, i don't get paid overtime lol

    Had a nice surprise in the post today, a payment from HMRC from uniform washing at home. Only £44, but for the cost of the stamp well worth it. YAY!

    Happy Birthday Kat!!

    Glad it's the weekend, but working and training and lots to do so will be dead on my feet by sunday night!

    I'd love to cochet or knit. I remember doing it when I was young but haven't got any of the stuff now.

    Happy friday all

    Hi all,

    I run out of time to check in last night so I better do it now... as for yesterday it was SFD #2 so far, but a spend day today (my friend bought me coffee at work yesterday so I returned her favour today) and most likely tomorrow. But after tomorrow(food shopping) I should be sorted for a while (hope so ;)).

    I hope Kat is having a fab Birthday time in Italy _party_ .

    I'm banned from eBay for the forseable, Mr will got bat carp crazy if anything else turns up :) With reason though.... I've invested in a few bits, only a tenners worth of stuff, and now the marathon training is nearly over i'm going to need something else to keep me occupied (and I don't think my poor bones will thank me if I keep running as I am!) so, i've invested in a crafty few bits, with a view to selling on my makes. Not for any significant amount of money / profit, although, who knows :) It's more to kind of keep me busy (Because i'm obvs not busy enough, heehee) So nomoreeBayforme!

  • I'm managing but like most people when they start my tension is cack

    I mastered the tension after a few weeks, definately took me a while, and can do singles fine, I love making amigurumi's, I've even designed a couple. But doubles and trebles blow my mind lol, I have yet to complete a granny square!

    I get complimentary copies of a few magazines and received the latest craftseller today, there is a nice crochet cushion in there I would like to try when I can pluck up the courage.
