    Good for you with your crafty goings on, jakes-mum, did you ever get your Gran's blanket done! BTW, there are lots of patterns/videos on Pinterest.

    I did indeed, did I never put a picture up? It was finished about a week before christmas and from what my dad said, my nana was very impressed that i'd made it myself. I don't have the piccy anymore now so I can't show it too you :(

    Have just come up with a new crafty idea though (in a completely different direction loool) so am currently sourcing bits for that, and am talking my mum into taking up clothes making now shes left her job and in a bit of a limbo. She used to make them for me and my siblings when we were little, so shes going to try and make a few tops for DD and see if the skills return ;) I actually spent about 2 hrs last night pinning patterns on pintrest :rotfl: I have many things in my 'things to try' board :o

    No pennies yet as haven't really been out anywhere other that to buy some fabric off the market, but got to pop to the post office so might have a few pence after that.

    I think I will go, see what it's like and if they continue to be unreasonable towards me then I will leave.

    How about baby hickles No. 2?? Baby hickles 2016.
    Hit them again with maternity pay. :D
    Just a thought.

    Potted 3 x £1 coins = £3. Much more relaxed potting. :p
