    Sorry to hear about your falls and the car key fiasco :( There's always something.

    Love your wooden snowman, he should last a few years though so money well spent and you've supported a local business too :)

    Hope you have a good day today xx

    Nightmare about the car Beanie. :eek: Great that your DS helped you out by going to get the spare keys.

    I like the sound of your wooden snowman. :) Always good to get something from a local business too. :)

    Hope you have a lovely Christmas. :beer: Enjoy a gin or two. :D I have bought the toasted marshmallow gin liqueur from Mr A's - it will either be lovely or sickly. :eek: I'll report back. :rotfl:

    Not sure if this is helpful but if you put brown paper (not the shiny side) under the wax side of the fabric and then iron (through a damp T-towel) the other side of the fabric it comes off. If you can't iron the trousers, pop them in the freezer and then peel off the wax when it is frozen.
