Wednesday morning

Good morning everyone, no sun out yet but the forecast said it's coming
Hope all the poorlies are feeling a bit brighter today and everyone has a lovely day

Good morning Di - where is everyone again Got a friend coming round to craft with me this morning, she has to make some birth announcement cards for her son whose wife is expecting so she doesnt even know whether its a boy or girl. She is only a beginner card maker too. She is the one I used to go to U3A craft group with so now she is coming to me

Have a good day whatever you are up to and hugs to all the poorlies

Morning...

I am patiently waiting for a man, who will be made very welcome in my house today!!! It is the Dishwasher Engineer!!!! Hope he comes sooner rather than later!!
No plans for today, but of ironing and thats about it. Also got to decide what culinary delight I can concoct for tea.... I watch Britains Best Dish at 5.00 pm and wish they would come and cook in my kitchen, especially last night Boozy Banoffee Pie!!!
Wishing you all a lovely day xx

Good morning and good wishes to everyone. I don't usually come on the forum in the morning but decided to take a break from a tedious crafting chore, and see what everyone else was up to - and it seems most people are busy elsewhere today!

My tedious chore was cutting ragged edges from foiled greetings I bought from Lakeland last Christmas. Did anyone else buy them? They were dreadful, I'd ordered them online but asked if I could return them via their store, and Lakeland told me not to bother and refunded the cost, very decent, but they must have had so many complaints about them. I didn't do anything with them last year, but (naturally) didn't throw them away, and today thought I'd have a go at tidying them up. I'm wondering if it's worth the bother, although they are very nice once all the rough is cut away, and I hate to waste them.

I'll go back to my cutting later, I've nearly finished the red ones, so have the greens, gold, and silver to do if I persevere!

Have a good day!

Morning everyone. I've quickly popped on here whilst I wait for my friend then we're off out to see if we can find something to wear to a wedding we are both going to.

((((HUGS)))) to all poorlies

Have a nice day whatever you are doing

Lakeland no longer do craft in the stores I have been in recently, don't know if they still do it online as I haven't been on their site recently. How annoying, even if they are free, you are having to do the work. Keep cutting Hope the engineer has been Karen - don't want to have to do any more dishes Hope you find something to wear to the wedding Frances, good luck

I have had a lovely morning with my friend She didnt know what to look at first and couldn't believe how much stuff I had. She actually brought me round a little bag of card as she said she would never use it all She realised that I had a lot more than her Bless her.

Hi there afternoon everyone,hope all poorlies feel better soon and youall have a good day what ever you are upto. Having a really yucky time at the min kitchen has come to a stand still, waiting for the next bits to be done not sure when that is but it does look good even though there are bits they need to redo. But the terrible thing is they have broken my washing machine it was working fine, they moved it out side to plaster etc they was not that careful with it, my mum has been doing washing for us. Was so excited on friday went to put my washing on and my machine didnt work hubby was away still so just cryed, a friend came round to have a look and the belt is fine the brushes are fine then he looked at the front!!!! and they must of knocked the knob off for the spin settings and it was pushed on at a funny angle and broke the curcit board at the back. Have spent the last few days crying then hubby got home and asked me to get on to them and see what they are going to do. I have not told many people this but i suffer from deppression and panic attacks and really worried about telling them, started to tell the lady and could fell myself getting worked up and burst out crying, am now waiting for someone to get back to me. Just needed to talk to someone and off load abit soorry!! love and hugs to all that want or need them.xxxxx

Good afternoon ladies ive been out all morning at hairdressers wanted some streaks inmy hair look like blondie now but feel better. Awww Juli hope you get sorted with the kitchen and washer, if they were doing our kitchen and being slow hubby would have kicked them up the backside. Weather is like winter here today cold and windy. Going to watch our Hayley later run the school cross country she came first last year. Hugs to the poorlies and if you are out enjoy, Hope your dishwasher is fixed Karen.OOOHHH forgot to say im hoping to see Peter Andre tomorrow he his coming to our Asda would love to get his autograph and a piccie

Andrea... good luck!!! I think he is a lovely guy and behaved exactly as he should have done.

Oh Juli, hope the get it fixed for you, they should have insurance to cover it, but make sure you keep on at them. They probably just didnt realise that it had broken the working parts if they had just hit the knob but they should have told you if they had realised the knob was bent. Hope it is fixed quickly for you and dont apologise for off loading on here, we all have days when we have to let of steam or tears Hugs for you

Andrea, hope you get to see Peter Andre

A very good afternoon ladies, warm and a little damp here, just a quick visit, wanted to see how you all were today
Oh Juli dont you worry yourself, and know just how you feel. My heart goes out to you, I get so cross that I could cry most times and I am over 60 now My brother says lose your temper and you lose the war, so I try really hard so come and moan to us all at any time its good to get it of your chest love Janetxx

Thank you ladies for your really kind words just feel like i'mbeing swamped at the min by it all. i have had a call back now and someone is coming out to see me tomorrow have explained i'm at work till 3 but my daughter id here and she can speak to them as they can't give me a time. so will have to wait and see and will let you all know. thanks again for your kind words has picked me up a bit .xx

Hi all,

sorry not been on for a couple of days...... been exhausted.... maybe doing too much... well thats what hubby keeps telling me anyways!

I got on the computer for a while yesterday then signed off after a little while, thought I had posted on here but having just looked back thru yesterdays topic, I obviously didn't ......

Hugs for you Juli, hope things get sorted. I am very easy to tears at the moment too hun (tiredness and feeling useless) , but this is a great place to get things off your chest and to get a bit of support from these lovely ladies x

Andrea.... I think Peter has come out of all this much better than Katie... he has kept his dignity.... oh yeah and he has brown eyes to die for Good luck in your quest for a siggy and piccy!!!

Afternoon ladies. Went to a scrapbooking class at the library this morning. Really enjoyed it. Next week I'll try and be more prepared. Forgot to sort some photos out for it yesterday so was hastily printing some off this morning. You can buy packs of paper and card from the lady who runs it and she takes things like glue and guillotines etc so if you are new to it all you need is the photos. No coffee break though so was crying out for a coffee by the time I got home - glad I thought to take a bottle of water with me.
Karen hope you get your dishwasher sorted today. Juli hope you get the washing machine sorted - they must have noticed they'd damaged it - probably thought you wouldn't make a fuss if they kept quiet. Lou - slow down. I know it's easy to overdo things if you feel a bit better 'cos I do it when my back plays up - then it's back to square one again.

Glad you had a lovely time scrapbooking Sue I just don't seem to have the time at the moment, don't know where the time goes Lou - you been doing too much again You know you shouldn't Glad we helped a little Juli, hope it gets sorted quickly - keep smiling

I started to like Katie as she seemed to have settled down but now Peter does seem to be genuine

[quote="LoopyLou"]Hi all, oh yeah and he has brown eyes to die for quote]

Not to mention his abs!
Have fun Andrea, hope you get up close and photographs

Just got in from work and its a bit grey so settling down to catch up on a few TV progs with a nice cuppa

Evening!

My man turned up this afternoon... I was starting to get a bit worried!! Anyway, he fiddled about with the slidy bit, fitted new rails, clips and tapped away on his puter... printed off a work sheet... totalling £99.00 Thank goodness I kept on with the Coverplan! Think it cost me £60 this year... got my money back already!
Just finished tea and now loading Daisy up to do what she does best

glad you got things sorted out and kept up with the cover take care pmed you.xxx

Glad to hear Daisy is up and running again
Andrea new hair do, off to meet Peter Andre. Are you aware he's on the look out for a new lady Good luck with the pic tomorrow.
Oh Juli I hope your feeling a bit better now, anytime you want to get something off your chest or any advice were all here to help
Lou don't go going mad now, do a little bit each day. Hope you chilling out now
That sounds a good class Sue especially to pick up bits and pieces you might need whilst your there. When I go to bead class I always forget something and end up having a little spend
Really tired but trying to stay awake till 10 otherwise I'll be awake at 4 again

Juli.... so pleased I did... certainly couldnt have afforded £100 at the minute - it would have meant poor Keith would have had to have done a few dishes!!!

Thank you xx
