    I remember Hooch (what were we thinking?) but not the others 🤣

    Today has been a quiet day - my get up and go has got up and gone. After much huffing and trauma earlier in the week the HT has finished his assignment and handed it in a day before it was due to be submitted.

    I found a home for the odds and ends of yarn that were left over when I finished the springfrost blanket - a lady on our local free page was asking if anyone had any bits for her mum who was knitting little flowers. A perfect match and better than having them sitting here in a bag doing nothing. My sister's friend was delighted with the shawl that I made for my sister to give her as a birthday present so that was good to know. I am now making "duck with a frog hat" number two just for fun. 

    Take care all of you 😊

    @CRANKY40 if your HT only income is his PIP he might qualify for a HC2 - I’d been paying for a monthly prepayment for my DS for a year when I found out and applied,

    Oh dear, I do remember the pressure of uni assignments, despite it being decades ago. Being an insomniac came in useful then, as I often got up at 3am & worked on them then.

    Glad to hear that HT has been able to re-claim his life.
    any chance of a photo of duck with a frog/bear hat?  For some reason I can't seem to conjure up a picture in my mind's eye 🤣
