    Dressing grown update. Fir loves it so much HE ordered one the same, lol. Monsoon did a short phase of doing men's clothes. Fir has obviously decided to relive that moment. :)
    Which make did you get in the end?


    WaS, I take it you're not allowed up a step-ladder? (To replace the battery, that is?)
    The beep has been scientifically designed to be the most annoying beep in the world, but of course, that's to make people put a new battery in!
    My second dog used to go demented if she heard the beep, so even if, say, one started downstairs in the night but was too far away to wake me up, she'd hear it, and would slaver all over me, distressed, so I'd have to get up and change it.

    I have taken myself into the bedroom, I really cannot cope with the flashing and the bleeping, it is going to make me ill. It is such a loud bleep! We don't have a step ladder and do have a very high ceiling that even WaSp can't reach. Not quite sure what to do.

    So I am back in bed (but upright). Poor WaSp won't get much sleep however due to me having to keep standing up and walking around for the cluster headache treatment. But so far, it seems to be working and keeping it a slight ache.

    Monsoon used to be one of my favourite clothes shops. I loved their long, swirly skirts and dresses.

    WaS can you wake him. I am sure in this situation he wont mind, he wouldn't want you to be distressed by it and would prefer you to wake him so he can sort it. He can go straight back to sleep afterwards it wont take him long to change the battery.

    Can any one use a sewing machine? I have always wanted one and found one yesterday in a charity shop :j I spent the last of my christmas money on it. I have been looking at loads of you tube videos on how to thread/use it and ordered some thread. I can wait to try it out :)

    What about earplugs? If no earplugs, borrow WaSp's headphones? Just to muffle the noise, not to play music.

    I'd certainly think it a good reason tbh.

    I'm amazed anyone could sleep through that.



    How high are your ceilings? Will a chair do for wasp?

    Don't look at me! I've always been useless at sewing! Had a few lessons at school in machining, but was always the last person to thread the machine, the last one to finish anything, and the one cotton skirt I made ended up as a duster!
    The only things I've been able to make were soft toys, but only the fur fabric sort, and by hand-sewing, because the fur hid all the massive imperfections in my stitching! I sewed several when I was in hospital for 6weeks with asthma in my 20s, but that was it, really.

    I preferred making the spoon! :D

    Ps. There's a chair in my living room with my sewing stuff on it and about 3 tops that need very minor repairs.....button replaced, loose seam re-sewn etc. and do you know how long it's all been there? 9months!
