Happy Birthday Gwendolin xxx

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FREE xxx Hope you are being spoiled by your lovely children.

Love the crafts.I will try to do mine today.

Home alone this weekend so with no husband or workmen underfoot I need to do some much needed cleaning.I rashly offered to host the breakaway craft group at mine on Tuesday.I need to touch up the walls slightly in the kitchen where the tiler has cleaned so well he has rubbed the emulsion off a bit.The leaky shower is now fixed too.No news from the carpet bloke so still camping with all furniture stacked up all over the place.

Was nice to see my cousins yesterday at the funeral.My Dad was one of 8,only 3 of them left now.Makes you realise that you should see each other not just at a funeral.

Happy October.

Computer is bust, so am on the steam driven version, sorry for misprints, misspellings, wonky bits etc. The snow challenges are beautiful. well done all.
04..., might it be worth while asking/telling your boss what the problems are and see if they can be fixed? if you intend leaving if it stays the same what have you to lose ?
Have had a pukey week, necessitating days in bed, very un- mrsl, grumpy and grouchy. Better now, but no mojo yet.
Peppa, well done on no 9, (will call you sister sledge, as you are truly on the downhill of it now)xxx
As Christmas goes, l have knitted a red cardigan for DGN and swiss darned snowflakes on it, looks ok, needs buttons.
Nephews OH came up earlier to try to fix computer, but it would appear to be beyond redemption, had a lovely catch up though, and a secret discussion about their wedding ...... no one else knows....... yeah!!!
Now l need to start on mount ironmore, and pot up the last of the baby perennials for next year.

MRSM def join in the challenge this month. MRSINVISIBLE your red cardi with snowflakes sounds like a snow challenge item to me 😉

Your crafts are all amazing!!!! I falted this month and just hasn't managed to grab myself time, but I'm defiantly doing Octobers.
Happy Birthday Free and belated birthday wishes gwendolin!!

I've read back but i apologise I just can't remember everything.
Actually had quite a relaxed Saturday which has been a lovely change and going out for tea with DH tonight

Evening all!

Happy Birthday Free! Hope you've had a great day xx _party_

Love all the crafts. What a talented bunch you all are. :T

Went to the Range today. I don't recommend visiting a newly opened one on a saturday! Never seen so many husbands with their eyes glazed over! :rotfl: Quite a few annoying people about that stand in the middle of walkways for a chat! :mad:

The Range had a lovely Christmas section though. Bought another little white house that lights up for my Christmas village (I think I have a serious little house problem. I can't stop lol :rotfl:). Also got a star from the craft section that has lights in it. I'm going to decopatch it but can't decide whether to go for Christmas papers or something more neutral to use all year round. Very attracted to the floral papers but would that look weird on a star? :think:

Oh before I go must tell you about what I saw with the other dancing polar bears, Santas, etc. A pole dancing reindeer!!! :eek:
