    Good morning and happy Monday…sobs quietly ☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️
    No surprise bunnies this morning, typical as I have to get up early today and yesterday I ‘could have’ slept in 😖
    MrWW treated me to the mouses iron, so that should be here on Wednesday 😁 
    yesterday I did the bunny thing, took dog for a drive and did some quilting, seam ripping, re quilting, abandoned it…..that was my day! 
    Today will be work and some awkward problems to try and solve ☹️
    I will round up the mortgage once I see what the total is after the dd.
    I hope you all have a marvellous Monday filled with happy things ☕️🍫📚🧁

    Morning WW! Good luck with the work problems!
    I have something I need to finish this morning and it will be a race! I don't like handing in sloppy work but I won't have time to thoroughly check it. Fingers crossed I didn't make a lot of mistakes in the first place.

    Lovely gift from Mr WW, enjoy your mousy iron! (we're calling it that because it looks like a mouse, right?)

    It’s because it’s tiny…a quilting iron for having next to you to iron seams on blocks…very small and anything small is prefixed by ‘mouse's’ in this house…preferably in a bagpuss mouse squeaky voice 🙃

    Oh no deni! I only iron my crafting, never real clothes (unless going out somewhere it would be noticed), everything is dried and hung up or folded here…I don’t miss the drudgery and hardly notice the difference!
    good luck with the quote.

    I had to google bagpuss mouse and I love the squeaky voice. It all makes sense now, I was looking at those mini irons and was trying to see a mouse's face on the controls side 🤣

    You must be too young for bagpuss! I also like to sing the mending song in squeaky voice too 😬 we will find it, we will bind it, we will stick it with glue, glue, glue 🎶 🎵 🤣 and if pulling or lifting something heavy it’s best to say ‘heave, heave, heave’ in mouse voice 😬 (I’m not crazy, honest) 🤣

    Too young maybe but also too foreign 😂
    I love the mending song, also listened to 'we will wash it' 😍

    I love singing out (of tune), Boy1 says is 'cringe' that I have a song to match everything, I'm sure he'll appreciate the new additions to my catalogue.

    Oh I loved bagpuss. I spend alot of time lately undoing knitting and re knitting then rinse and repeat. It drives me mad. Hope your seams are behaving themselves now and the mouse's iron is living up to its name.
