Evening everyone thank you Candy for starting us off this morning. I see you mentioned about the 101 list on Sat, are you doing the 101 things in 1001 days?
Just caught up with the weekends thread

CCL - Hope you're feeling better this time of year is horrible for colds

Mendry Welcome

Dawn - No you're not the only one, I find writing Xmas cards boring too, it annoys me as well because I know they will end up in the bin afterwards but feel bad if I don't write them -.- haha

Bob - That's good news on the dentist I think I might get Denplan or something as I seem to spend loads at the dentist

Lambda - Well done on the C/C payment

Ziggy - sending hugs xx

Had a nice weekend, had my friend come over yesterday with her partner and their baby (HE IS SO CUTE!!) Had lots of cuddles and a good old catch up which is always good I then went out for my works Xmas meal all paid for by Mr Bossman so bagged 2 NSD. Also got the good news yesterday that my brother had just got engaged to his girlfriend I am so excited for them :j

My list for today:

- B/L from stores
- Low spend dinner (going to mums after work so won't have a chance to cook unless I want dinner about 1 in the morning :rotfl:)
- Sort out Xmas presents

- Check for MS's

Think that is about it

Hi everyone
Early check in :j but it's just because I'm too poorly for my training session and getting ready to go to bed. I desperately don't want to take a day off work but am starting to fear I may have to. I don't know if my voice will make it to tomorrow, and my cough is starting to hurt.
Foxgloves - I am just about to have myself a hot honey and lemon before I head off to bed. Tempted to add whiskey, but we don't have any :rotfl:
Bob - great news on the dental front.
Ziggy - hope you're doing ok.

I've done it now! I thought it was only stocking stitch you could use a crochet needle with? This is 4 rows knit then 4 purl. Tis done now, but maybe it was folly?

Ahh...I'm not sure now you've asked... But not to worry - it's all good practice

Maybe something like this will help next time? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eliQ0MXID0M
I hate ripping out knitting so try anything to avoid it - even just tying bits together and putting a brooch on the offending spot!

I am - my current list runs out in 2017 so I still have so much to do !!

DNMS - Glad to hear the pattern arrived ok. It probably does look complicated if you've never knitted a sock before but just concentrate on each section at a time. Once you've done the ribbing, the rest of the leg bit is just ordinary knitting for each round, & lots of the foot, too. It's the heel shaping that is the tricky bit until you can see it forming. Don't overthink it, just follow the instructions & I'm happy to help if you get stuck .

P.S. I hate pulling knitting out too. The crochet hook method is great. Much easier on stocking st than other sts, though.

Chocolate - congrats to your brother have to say denplan is a great benefit but I think you can get it for around £5 a month.

Ziggy - sorry to hear things are unsettled with your husbands job/work patterns. I hope your mum and brother will both be ok. A tank of fuel is a great win.

ClootiesMum - another one with a great win..I'm so impressed with you and Ziggy.

Hi all

Just thought I'd stop by to report my DFW progress for today.

Hanging washing up indoors
Wearing a jumper instead of putting the fire on
Using up the rest of the reduced price groceries I bought on Sat morning (I never usually shop at that time and was surprised at the quantity and quality of the reductions).

Tomorrow I'm going to a gym for a freebie day, but then I have to get out the cash for the car MOT and service. I haven't used this building society account in the past, but I'm going to ask them to transfer it to my current account, save me carrying it about. Don't know if they do this, but I'll try.

Well done to all for being such good DFW folks and hugs to those feeling less than brilliant.
