She just have a scan now every year , they said they would operate if she wanted them to , but the only risk was she may lose part of her sight , so she decided not to, she is ok , they said there is no danger to her life................Good luck to you.........

Weather, well its been ok day here today, sunny , cloudy , but no rain , a bit chilly at times ........

SUZI..........Nice to see you return here.......

I hope your all doing ok.........

I would like to see a good result from the Crimewatch prog tonight for the Mc canns , feel so sorry for them, if the portugese police had taken it seriously to start with she may possibly have been back with her parents years ago...........But you can only hope some good will come out of the prog..........

Its so dark early of a night now, I dont really like it , but im not suffering from SAD yet which is unusual for me , at this time of a year im getting ready for hibernation , old body clock is f****d I expect, never mind as long as I keep waking up every morning its a good help......:eek:.....Sheila...

Burtha will be thinking of you tomorrow and lighting my candle tonight for you.

Did the ultimate pennypinch today. We had a funeral to go to and was quoted £60 for a spray :eek: Went to Mr t and bought £20 of flowers, made spray, have 5 roses on my mantel and made a pretty bouquet for Mum too. Luckily I am quite good at flowers and had ribbon and cellophane. I know florists have big overheads but flippin heck they get flowers in bulk.

Drove 20 miles to crematorium in the middle of nowhere only to find 300 people there, no room for us inside and it began to rain, so we paid our respects and left. Oh well at least we went, met old friends, represented the cricket league but boy did I need a cuppa.

Off to Newcastle tomorrow and am so loooking forward to it. beamish here we come :j

Thank you fuddle for re-making this thread. I used to be a member of the workhouse thread when I first joined MSE 2years ago and I miss advice on crafting, preserving and foraging. I am still so new to it all.
So hello everyone, I am joining you. My name is Suzi and I consider myself to be a bit of a hippy who sometimes struggles to live in this commercial world we call home.
I am getting married next year and any frugal suggestions from anyone would also be very welcome :-D
It's lovely to be back!

Hi Suzi - lovely to see you again.
Search for the wind and the wellies blog - she is getting married soon - in a wood. Has some good ideas

Burtha - Best wishes to you for tomorrow
