    She seems to have been under the weather since her ear infection in Spain that then developed tonsillitis and she's had every ears nose and throat problem going ever since.
    I am trying to get her to eat as much fruit and veg as I can, and have been to the doctor with her. But she has certainly not been full of energy this winter at all!
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    Nearly ready to sew for the day.
    Been to work and grabbed a pile of alterations, taken the mannaqin to school for their project work. Arranged for Biggest to pop in to my Mum's when she's passing.
    Been to the chemist and picked up a throat spray and ibrufen for dgd.
    Had a cuppa and now I am going to bring my machine downstairs sonit doesn't disturb Dgd up in bed.
    Alterations here I come!

    I managed to get quite a lot of alterations done. Somewhere around £120 worth, but got fed up around 4 when two pairs of M & S trousers needed shortening only to find they were glued. Which is difficult to undo. I messaged M & S to be told that they do this to stop Trousers coming undone.
    I told them that as their trousers are getting longer my customers are needing them shortening more and more. They were going to ask the tailored department about it. But I will not be surprised if I don't get an answer.

    Yes they have a thin layer of glue behind the threads and have done it for at least a year now!
