Mrs Moneypenny- love the flower brooches, would you mind me asking what you were going to sell them for? Also what does the wooligan thing mean?

thank you
wooligan was just a nickname someone on the knit a square thread came up with the bit on my sig at the bottom is stuff i knit for charities or good causes

the flower brooches are in memory of my niece Lily who sadly lost her fight at 10 months, we were told she was only lent but she put up such a battle she actually had us believing she would prove them wrong and win. my brothers partner (her mum) wants to build some kind of memorial garden for all little ones who were taken. So ive had permission off the school to put the brooches on the stall im doing for them and any money i make will go to my brother and his partner in the hope they can build the garden.

We are blessed that Lily's twin sister survived she is our silver lining

Toots list item was touching in paint chips in the hall,stairs and landing. I substituted hats,scarves and gloves for coat washing because I sorted those last week. I didn’t clean any windows, I washed all thedoors last week and they are glass. Clutter,hotspot and handbag sorting were all very minimal tasks because I have beenkeeping on top of them.

Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!

That's better, I feel better for that now. Sorry I had to let it out. DH is really bugging me now. I showed him my todo list for today and asked if he could help with it.. Well what does he do? Goes and sits down in the armchair, after walking the dogs, with a cup of tea and his crossword puzzle book.. Mentioned about going shopping before lunch and he mumbled something about petrol for his car.. Hmm thought we were taking my car.. Oh well change of plan for that one.

Aaaaah! He has just asked when I am getting off here and getting dressed..yet he is still in the armchair doing his puzzle book. Oh well I give up.. Maybe I should just carry on as if he isn't there and just grunt now and again at him to move out the way..lol

Mum didn't tell me - my sister did....

I can understand that.. I find it impossible to pass on news which upsets me.. to the point I couldn't bring myself to tell the children their great grandmother had died.. I wouldn't tell anyone anything.. tbh, I have told you lot things I wouldn't share with family or OH .. it doesn't mean she loves you less, it is about self preservation for me.. but I do see how hurtful that would be for you (((hugs))) Hope she manages to get sorted soon.

Baby Poppy is hopefully coming home tomorrow!!!! She is 4 months old and hasn't spent more than 4 days at home in one stretch and has spent 3 of those months in hospital.

DD1s other friend whose waters broke at 22 weeks is now 24 weeks so baby Harrie has a chance of survival now
