    Could you do your search magic and find us the Roald Dahl / Quentin Blake image (I think from The Twits maybe) about lovely thoughts... is that enough to go on?? :D

    Just because someone doesn't intend to be insulting it doesn't make it any less rude or hurtful.

    I know how much easier it is to focus on flaws but try to focus on the good things.

    Is it about time to tell you to post three things you like about yourself? :D

    To be clear code (and others!), I'm not saying you have a wonky nose or a double chin... just that it totally wouldn't matter if you did because all people see is the loveliness x.

    Ok, three good things.

    1. I have pretty eyes
    2. My nails grow quickly
    3. Kim Kardashian paid a lot of money for hips like mine.

    :rotfl: :rotfl:

    I love Roald Dahl and Quentin Blake's illustrations made the books so much better. They're making another BFG film. Not sure whether to be excited or worried that they'll ruin it.

    Sorry I wasn't around. I was starting the attack on the workroom.

    It's a nightmare! Like I thought it would be! Equipment like an ash can vacuum. I haven't used it much, but it can be useful for hoovering up debris and ash, without risking it damaging the Hoover.

    And I forgot I had things waiting to go up in the loft, some of which are too heavy for me to manage, which is why they were in the workroom.

    Oh pants pants pants! I need another rooooooooom, to put stuff in while I'm sorting it! My landing is now clogged with stuff, and trips me up when I go to the bathrooooooooom!
    Aaaaaaargh!


    Anyway, sorry I was too late to look for the Roald Dahl stuff! :D

    We will let you off this once pyxis :rotfl:.

    I know what you mean about needing another room to clear the first one. I've got to move furniture out of the bedroom to decorate it.... so will also be ending up with a stupidly full landing. There's just never enough space is there?!

    When I finally get that room done and can tackle my current bedroom I'll be investing in some ikea Kallax shelving for the craft stuff. Like you, I've got things in boxes at the moment which means I can't get at anything easily as it's stacked up. The plan is to get some boxes that fit into the Kallax... then I can hopefully get at more things at once.

    Of course, this all depends on me being able to do the basics like find the dustsheets :rotfl:.

    The bad news - Maximus has a backlog in my area and they have no idea when they will review it and then they have to send it back to the DWP for confirmation anyway.

    I'll call again in a couple of weeks.

    One of my RUB boxes is full of dustsheets!


    I need cupboards!




    Now, a question.

    Everytime I brushed my dogs, which wasn't all that often, I kept the hair. I have a largish bag full of dog hair. The idea was to find someone to spin it or whatever and make an item of clothing for me to wear, or even just a long scarf, depending on how much yarn or whatever it produces. My last dog died 6years ago!

    What shall I do with it? Is it feasible to use dog hair to make something with?
