  • That looks like a lot of very useful skills to me Sue! You also sound like you have some very talented children, that is your genes!

    I was never really allowed to do art projects when I was young so unless I was taught them when I was sporadically at school I haven't really tried. I might try to make my own pasta photo frame, I still have to attempt crochet at some point. I looked at beginners youtube videos, frowned a lot and quietly put it away.

    Is that all? How boring!

    Did you get it wrong deliberately to see what would happen Gingernutty? :D:D:D

    I got it wrong because I can't read music :o It plays the wrong tune and you have to keep moving the papers around until it's correct. :)

    Sue they sound like v useful skills!

    I am tearing my hair out with the thing I'm working on. Am trying to put together a business case for something, and have got a previous one that was prepared a few years back. But for the life of me I can't get my head around the figures. The cumulative savings are being taken off the total each year, not added on. I am at the "bang my head on the desk" stage trying to work it out.

    Plus, I have been on POF for a week now and am not married. What is wrong with me??

    I'm with WaSp on the nativity rubber ducks, I think. They sound awful.

    Ugh, I'm sorry, tea. Can you do something totally different for 10 minutes and then come back to it? That helps me sometimes because when I stare constantly at something like that I end up not being able to see the wood for the tree's. Coming back to it sometimes makes it easier.

    Excuse me giggling at your last sentence. The men are in awe of you and trying to work out how on earth they can approach someone as amazing as you!

    Hahahaha, they are cute whitewing, honest! They are a collection of rubber ducks made into nativity characters along with ducks dressed as sheep and cows. WaSp puts his head in his hands when I bring them out every year!

    Port and Stilton chocolates are a thing. I need to try them.

    I think nativity ducks sound amazing! :D

    Tea, maybe it's the like the job and house market, bad time of year for dating! You'll have a flurry of offers in the new year! ;)
