Hi Marianna, lovely to see you here :wave: Jean, love the little mousie but I fear you may be about to become a neighbour of Chalky in Bonkersville, Arizona :rotfl:. You have upped the photo op ante with all that fromage! Kathy, I smiled at the thought of DBIL in a grim reaper shirt and smiled even more at him wandering…

Hugs to you too Elaine. I know you have probably felt your loss everyday of those four years but anniversaries are tough x

So sorry to hear your sad news Kathy. Thinking of you all x

I second this - their clearance section is particularly good and great service. Apparently, Ald! have some wool in at the mo. I haven't seen any this time round but in the past it was good value and knitted up nicely. As mentioned above, there is a knitter's thread and also the knit a square thread which includes what…

Dawn, so sorry to hear your sad news. Thinking of you all xx

Chalky, wish we all could have joined you for lunch it sounds lovely - and probably just what you and the Sporty One needed. Wow, socky - sounds like one of those Impulse adverts from the 80's - remember them? How exciting! craftycrafty, that's a lovely blanket. I really like the bits between the squares. psso, hope you've…

Looks like you've come a long way. :beer: Good luck on your MF journey

Ooh, lots of productivity in the kitchens today. Have cake and chutney on my mind now! Hi Pam, I think some bamboo dpns might be in order as most of my needles are now. Had treated myself to a pair of Lantern Moon needles which were lovely to use but they got sat on :( - don't ask. Is anyone using any of the…

Hope you and DH have a lovely relaxing time soaking up the sun Pippa. Grrrr Mrs MP. Don't blame you for being cross! Hope everyone else is OK. Trying dpns again - hopefully a simplish-hat. Problem is, I'm not used to metal needles any more and these keep sliding out and escaping! dpns are making me feel like a right clumsy…

Ahh, I missed you lot! Beautiful work Anakat - love the heffalump and Jean - gorgeous wee dresses. Good for you with the Sindy psso! F1 - cut yourself some slack! No need for the naughty step. Have a cuppa and a hobnob instead. Have just finished a SANDS blanket and border and can't seem to decide what to do next. I…

Hi Everyone Sorry I missed your pre hospital post f1. I am thinking of you. So many with challenges at the moment. Chalky, sorry to hear about your recent loss. Your Iris blanket is just beautiful. Kathy, it's good to hear your mum seems to be a bit more settled. To anyone who has a hard row to hoe at the moment - gentle…

*creeps back in* :wave: Thought it was about time I poked my head round the door again. Have just spent a while whizzing through some of the last pages of the thread. It's really lovely to "see" you all again, but oh my, some of you have very full hands at the moment. I won't do a listing as I'm almost as la-la as F1 (Hi…

Just wanted to say sorry for your loss Mrs MP. Thinking of you and the family.
-
Yep, you can do that or if you go for an offset bung it all in there but definitely fine on an ad hoc basis.
-
Have a look at some of first direct's products. LTV etc will influence which are available to you but I have been really pleased with their internet banking and also their customer service. Good luck

Hi All Just a quick post before getting on with "stuff". Congrats to Pol - we're aunties again! Dawn, maybe if you aren't in a concentrating mood, some 8 inch squares for Chalky might be a good idea? Should be good for stash busting which always lifts my mood. Maybe ask Mad Maureen for a hooky lesson next time you visit -…

108 reporting in after *coughs* "absence" £92.40 OP for July I don't think I am going to reach my target as have changed mortgage and shortened the term by 5 years but will keep logging OPs if that's OK. Well done everyone

Hi v8 Google Readicut - they often have potluck offers and sales but not always a vast choice. Google Kemps Wool Shop - really good service and they often have very good prices on a whole range of stuff. Check out the clearance wool pages as they often have good quantities too. These are 2 places I have used and would…

Hi Everyone I haven't been posting but have been (mainly good) busy. I have been trying to keep up, but apologies in advance if I miss anyone. First of all Pam, it's lovely to see you back posting. We missed you. psso, it sounds like pottering around the greenhouse was a great way to spend the day, especially if its where…

Congrats Shez and your Mum on the abseil - bet you got a heck of an adrenaline rush! Congrats also to Nanny Kinsey - fantastic news! Glad to hear your willow will resprout Kathy, it's beautiful - looks just perfect for sitting under and crocheting. How exciting to be meeting Chalky. I have a feeling that Mr Mioliere and Mr…
