    Um that wouldn't have been an option Horace! The only nearby window is the one right out onto the village High Street!

    Thanks Taxi! I have just been working out a plan for 2009
    1. Finish stitching Map of Durham by mid to end of February
    2. Finish cat ornaments
    3. Finish another project (The Hikers maybe?)
    4. Work on a long term project
    5. Clear as much of the CC as possible
    As well as this I want to try and get some more of the house sorted out - this sort of comes under fun because I feel better in myself and want to do more if my surroundings are straight - so the main thing is to get all the magazines sorted and re-cycled, which will free up some storage as well.

    I don't want 2009 onwards to be as carp as 2008 has been!

    Sounds like a great plan to me and I know you'll do it.

    Thanks Taxi - I think in the first instance I need something to take my mind of the probable Tribunal! so stage one will be magazine sorting (the best is Dr Dragon can help with that as well)

    Sounds a good plan, i had forgotten you were into cross stitching .I hope you post piccies of finished projects. I was also thinking of shops which may display your finished goods or give you a fee for completing ones for the window display. My friend's family all did that with our local craft shops,

    The problem with that BOB is that they normally want them doing fairly sharpish and I cannot guarantee being able to do so (pain gets in the way). and Taxi I will not go over board I promise! I have just sorted out half a dozen more magazines and that is me done for the day :rotfl:
