    I've been MIA again, sorry. I do read every day.

    I went to see Kate Rusby in concert last weekend and bought two of her Christmas CDs. I've played them all week in the car. I was helping my friend do some spring cleaning in her bookshop yesterday (it's my favourite place on earth) so I put a Christmas CD on. None of the customers commented!

    I'm thinking of making an Easter hamper for my sister's family this year - not quite as grand as the Christmas Eve one - I'm not sorted for Easter yet.

    Loving the quotes OMO - thanks for your continued dedication.

    Take care all

    morning all
    hope everyones weekend was as good as it could be
    reasonably busy here and i managed to get a few chores of the list id been putting off.
    made a seat cover for our landy back seat from a fleece throw looks pretty good considering it was a first attempt.
    deheaded most of the daffs in the front - sad to see them go they looked lovely while they lasted.
    DS2s lovely fella cleared some horrible malware off my puter so its running much better and the dreaded pops ups have gone.

    spendless so sorry to hear what a rotten start to the year youve had, i do hope things improve.

    almost sorted for easter need to get two of the DDs ad their fellas something and eggs or chocs for the kids at the martial arts club. having everyone round for easter dinner so will have to plan food and find out who wants what.

    hopes everyones plans are about on track for things they have coming up.

    Spendless - what a terrible year you have had, I really hope things improve and that karma comes to bite the thieves!!!!

    On a christmas note, I finished my first arm knit scarf on Friday night, took 40 mins from start to finish and I was pretty chuffed. I could of done two out of the wool really so will remember for the next ones.
    This one is actually for me as it was practice, but I have got the rest of the wool and will be making scarves and knitted head bands - possibly hats if I feel I can manage them.
    MIL brought me a scented candle up yesterday that she had as a gift but didn't want and said to add it to my christmas box, it's becoming popular :rotfl:
    Christmas is the most magical time of the year :santa2:

    Mia is poorly. The side of her face is weeping :(
    We have the vets at 2.30 tomorrow.
    I think it is Hot Spot, but I'm not sure. It looks very sore. :(
    The more hair I cut away the bigger it seems to get. :(
    It was only the size of a thumb nail on Saturday. Now it's the size of a cup. :(
