Ruth_honey - That is so true what's on paper really doesn't matter, especially when it's just stupid little things. He may be the same height and younger than me, but he's definitely more of a proper grown up, another thing which usually sends me packing, but this time I don't want to. I don't think I've turned into a proper grown up at all, I just quite like him lol.
freespirit66 - I am a very happy bunny
Nanamia - Firstly I hope your feeling better! ...and to keep you amused details well brief summery more like... we went to my favourite tea shop (Boston Tea Party, they are a chain I think amazing place if you like tea, or for breakfasts!! I tend to go there on my birthday ), then we went to watch a film. Then I went to his last night for dinner, first time a guy has ever properly cooked for me! He made chilli it was really good! and we watched some films, and I ended up staying over, nothing untoward happened before anyone gets that idea :P. He brought me a cupcake from work too it has bacon on it! I've not eaten it yet, we forgot about them last night so I've brought it home with me, I'll let you know what bacon on cake is like lol. It was a really nice evening, he's going abroad for 2 weeks now though which sucks! At about this point in dating I get really paranoid, so this could be an interesting couple of weeks


We've decided that this Christmas is going to be the year of the book... WHSmiths keep giving us till vouchers £5 off if you spend £12/£15 and they have a selection of nice hard back books £5 each 2 of the smiths near me had rubbish selection, but the tiniest little one that I usually think it's a waste of time going to has a brilliant selection! My mums got a Covent garden soup a day book for me, and Delia's christmas for gran, we're off to get another couple today . Also have a 20% off till voucher so I might get a new sketch book... maybe...

Hi all,

Back from my holidays. It was fab, relaxing and the sun shone most of the time too. Even got a bit of a tan but it faded as we landed back home:rotfl: I feel a lot better and refreshed for the break, which was the main reason for going away.

I'm not even going to attempt to catch up on all your news, it'll probably be Christmas by the time I do :rotfl::rotfl:

I hope life has been treating you all well xxx

So pleased you enjoyed your hols. :T

b_e_g well done for finishing the headboard Hope it went well at the dentist for you too. Maybe a few minutes cross stitch as a reward? xxx

Visit to dentist not too bad. What a job they had getting the temporary crown off :eek: Hope the permanent one is as strong.

Haven't got a stitchy project on the go atm - DH just framed last stitch which was a xmas pressie from DS (pic below). Tried knitting last night - just a plain square - started off with 30 stitches and ended up with 29 :rotfl: (don't know whether its for me). Will have to investigate how to cast it off now.

love your tree beg
re casting off knit 2 stitches then pass the first one nearest to the knob on the neelde over the one nearest to the point so you have only one stitch then knit another one and repeat the process till you only have one stitch left. you then break of a long enough end of wool and pull that through the last stitch to lock them all off.
HTH
if you watch a you tube tutirial of someone ding it it should make more sense than what ive written

his missus, glad you had a good holiday welcome back

spring must be on the way there was the biggest fattest frog on the pavement near our drive earlier, i think shes trying to remember where the pond is she needs to drop her spawn in
