The Garden Fence - help and support in tough times

Please may I ask tablet users who lay in bed with their tablet do you:

1) lie with it resting on your chest and

2) suffer badly when it falls forward and hits you on the forehead?!

Go on, please say it happens to you too. Please? :cool: :doh: :whistle:

Ah, FairyP, you're just too young to carouse properly. You really have to be the owner of a bus pass before you can really throw your bonnet over the windmill. In the meantime watch and learn petal, watch and learn.

Hester, I want a wol . I really want a wol. It's no good asking for the pattern 'cos it's crochet and if I tried to crochet a wol it would be more like a hedgehog that had enjoyed an unhappy encounter with a road roller, which is how most of my crochet ends up.

DIL and Pickle are off in the morning to visit the other poorly grandma. They are leaving DS2 and me here to play. We have plans for a toy cull.

Tomorrow I'm doing one of my ploughmans suppers for a church do. The coleslaw is made, the ham and cheese cut, the salad bits washed, pickled onions etc lined up and will only need plating up.

Be good while I'm away.

Please creep in quietly when you get back from the pub Mrs LW as we will all be asleep!

Wols, I'm making wols, DGD wants a wol, a wol she will get, I may have a virtual hangover but I can still crochet a wol for DGD.
She is 5 and calls owls, wols, I found a really easy pattern, I have until 3 o'clock Friday when I collect her from school, I should be able to make a couple because you can bet your life if one DGD wants a wol, the others will want one too.

Aha! she is a young lover of Winnie Ille Pooh then :beer:

Fuddle: I have a cover on mine which I grasp firmly in my left hand. This means that it doesn't swing forward and hit you on the head, it swings forward and punches you on the nose and you lose the long post you have just written.

What a place this is. This must be the only thread to contain scenes of drunken debauchery, crocheting wols and cooking hearts on the same page!

Loving the chat, Lynn I think you have done this before judging by your description of what happened last night!

MOI???I live a life of purity and light my child, unblemished goodness, all sweetness and light and it wasn't my fault it all kicked off last night, I was led astray.....is all Hesters fault!!!

Nope. Never happens to me. I sit up, so it is firmly wedged into a crease in my belly fat and occasionally my tummy hits the back button at the bottom for me :rotfl:

Scariest is listening to stories in bed with earphone in one ear and tablet tucked into pillow above my head, I roll over half asleep, garotte myself with earphone cord, tablet slides down and clouts head.

Well, I've been and gone and done it.

Met the tiler today, he's a nice guy. And he starts work ripping up our tiles next Thrusday :eek: I'm doing it like ripping off a band aid.

Now, it may be nuts, to just meet a guy and give him the job, rather than getting a number of people round and various quotes. But when it's hard to get people to show up, and one does show up, early with a smile and suggests a price you're comfy with, I felt like rolling the dice and just going with it.

Besides prices are no guarantee of success. Nor is a recommendation. But he did have good recommendations...

I'm babbling. I'm nervous. This is a big job with a huge mess.
