    I'm in of sorts, thanks Natty - and thank you Dusty for least week's lists.

    I've demolished half of a very awkward frog this afternoon: it was very hard to do. All in all, not an easy day.

    The house is still tidy and quite clean, but I have plenty of paperwork, emails and phonecalls to do tomorrow, and if it's still dry I'll do an hour in the garden. I missed most of the sunshine today :(

    Thank you Dusty for last week's thread and Natty for this week's - I'm in.


    Good luck vibes heading your DS's way, Bonnie.


    Ionafan, sorry, I should have decided what I wanted the Challenge to be, but I hadn't made up my mind. It will be to make up a toile for a dressing gown.
    Better is good enough.

    Evening all

    Thank you for the threads x

    We have found a new to us car, (not the one we saw in ik-a car park with the keys in the door) We collect it on Wednesday :) it's red :)

    Need to insure & tax it. Hmm best work out how to do this. Old car is being part exchanged so need to gather all necessaries for that too.

    Ds1's bed changed
    3xwm done and dried outside
    2 pairs of school trousers shortened
