    A pipe cleaner tail - yes its all coming back to me now - and folded card ears of course!! :D:D

    Puzzcat - I lost a load of weight last year (about a stone) and have almost put it all back on - I'm about 10 6 now I think :D I would love to lose that stone again (without the stress that made it possible though :D).

    :)

    Welcome to join us SS1K .....:)The more the merrier!

    Hello
    I dont have a diary myself, but I do like reading everyone else's. Im a regular on the 'small things' thread on DFW & a bit more on the Old Style board as well so you may 'bump' into me there.
    Im a mum myself to one little monkey who turns 6 next week. That time has just flown.
    Hope you have a peaceful weekend.

    Awww Brogden, very sweet of you to say so :o
    Not worried about the pounds per se (Love my cakes and mars bars and cheese and wine and clotted cream and cheesecake and apple pies shall I go on)way way too much for that BUT its the effect they have on my health that's the concern - am only a petite 5ft 1 and three quarters - and I don't like it that I get out of puff more easily that I used to, plus with all the financial stress on top of everything else blood pressure has been creeping up. the extra exercise might just help with mood boosting too :)
    Also would be more MSE to use the clothes filling my wardrobes than buying new ones :D except that I can't do them up....so I have to lose pounds to save pounds. How sensible is that. :p

    Thank You Verbatim. It's been a hard few days. Been to the othe funeral today but my friend's one not until next week.
    Am glad that I have had some work at school where I am bank staff - it really helps to keep busy.
    Fish and chips were lovely, and had it again today as got very late - DS involved in a remembrance day concert after school - it was really lovely (concert and the F&chips!)
