    Hi all

    Well I didn't get the scarf finished so now it's going to be for DS and is nearly done :)

    Seaxwyn - I'd give the scarves alongside the normal pressie too :) It's one of Sophia's closer friends party this weekend so will knit her one.

    Well, I'm wasting so much time today - have done NOTHING really. :( Washing up done, but floors disgusting and missing Sophia - my mum's taken her up to Penrith for an Everest exhibition. They've been on a walk today and are just off to the exhibition :) It's very strange without her here! William went to sleep at 5pm and wouldn't wake up so then carried on sleeping til 8.45am! Unheard of! I think he was sickening for something though and has slept it off as in a fab mood today.

    Also my hiding of presents was NOT good and he's now a happy owner of the little micro cars I bought him for Christmas *sigh* Will be fully childproofing the cupboard later!

    Put together a few of the hampers I'm doing for Christmas and they look quite nice - not very good at arranging though so will have to wrap and hope for the best lol!

    MUST do ebaying - WHAT is wrong with me at the mo?!!!

    yippee! Finally listed something on Ebay :) Not much but at least i've made a start.

    Now have a scrapping challenge from FF - hopefully PAP will be joining us too :) Want to do at least a DLO by next week, and hopefully more if I actually get all the stuff out!

    oooh - will be off to Lidl later then! There is one near my SW class tonight.

    Finished DS's scarf which he loves :) Started the next one, which will be for a hamper I'm doing anyway.

    Had a good start to the day and have started on the housework tasks - some way to go yet, but the sun has made me very happy today :)

    Hope all are well.

    It's a lovely day here to.

    A proper autumn day. I've knitted a couple of scarves this year to, I think I might attempt a bobble hat soon.

    :) Well I've done quite a bit of decluttering - sorted out the kids craft boxes so now they have one that is for just bringing out, anytime kind of box and the other has more stuff like paints etc. Reorganised the cupboard and sorted it out so that now it's really easy to pull out my scrapping supplies :) I've thrown out so many broken bits and pieces and it's all looking great so far! Just waiting for the washing to dry before I swap it over.

    I like this kind of Autumn day! Hope we have lots more like it!

    Just heard from my mum - her car has died, but that meant they couldn't go on the walk they had planned, Sophia was upset, so now she's booked another night at the YHA hostel and will be ringing the AA first thing tomorrow. So Soph won't be back til tomorrow now! Feels so strange without her, but I have to admit it's definitely relaxing and giving me a wonderful break - William and me are just bonding and having a laugh :) When I'm not reading here I seem to have spent the last hour playing crash cars with him on the floor lol! :D It's lovely having that time.

    Means I'll have a little more time to do things tonight which is nice :) such as ebaying etc.
