You've been having fun again ]:)

Not finished his  fancy dress, it has sleeves but I still need to make a hood, he's gone out in a bought scream costume tonight, so I have until tomorrow now to finish the grim reaper cloak 😄
Its a good job because I wasn't home to finish it, we decided to take MIL to Whitby to see the Goths 😐 wasn't sure what she would make of them all ......................... but she loved it :^O  I told her we would both go back next year dressed up 😛

[hiddengems2010]

😐  Whitby, Goths, Dressed up :_| i wanna be there, i wanna go looking for jet at the other side of whitby, i wanna be in scarborough 😞

Good to hear you nearly got the cloak finished CK,

Aww nice to hear your MIL enjoyed her trip to see the Goths. 🙂

[cat-knitter]

She loved them ....................... but kept forgetting what they were, everytime we passed a group she kept asking what they were called, bless her.

Went round to see my Sister this morning & got a cuddle & to feed her  friends 12 wk old baby :-x 

I soooooooooo wanted to steal him 🙂

[hiddengems2010]

Awww bless, how old is she MIL

Aww to baby too 🙂

[choccyaddict*]

Just got back from hospital, they reckon they've probably managed to save the sight in the eye Gems so heartlessly poked X-( :^O

Awww at ickle baby cuddling!

[cat-knitter]

She's 86,  at 79 she was jet skiing & parasailing on holiday with us, at 80 she found she had angina so wouldn't come on holiday with us anymore .......................... because she wouldn't be able to join in anymore :^O:-x

She sounds like Merlin's Mums friend, she had a knee replacement 3 yrs ago & moaned about all the "old" people on the ward.
I suppose that's why she's finding it hard to cope now, as she has always been so active 😞  

[hiddengems2010]

😮  choccy X-(  you burger i thought i'd missed something :^O

[cat-knitter]

Has Gems been picking on you Choccy 😮

[hiddengems2010]

Ck, she sounds like a fab mother in law, great that she was able to do all those things at that age 🙂

My uncle ( i havnt seen him for the past 8 months or so) was put in a home due to his dimentia, things got so bad, he to was active, worked a farm all his life, as soon as he stopped due to sale of farm, he got depressed his memory started to deteriorate, and all went downhill from there, luckily he still remembers his close family but it's awful & painful for family to watch it take over.

[*hippyfairy*]

Morning

Clocks all changed here - boys did theirs and MrHippy did the rest.

Towery - I have a confession - I haven't sent you the money for the felt yet - lack of £1 coins!! Have them now ready to send & I can't find the envelope - can you PM me your address please & thankyou.

Have a head like a sieve at the moment - not feeling 100%. Hoping after my blood results come back this week I might know why and can work on getting better and back to 'normal'.

[hiddengems2010]

Good afternoon all 🙂

(((((hippy))))) hope you get sorted soon, its a worry when you know you dont feel right, but dont know why, lets hope the bloods shed some light 🙂

I'm kept busy with MIL, she doesn't want to go home to an empty home so will be here a few more days so I  don't think I'll get round to listing for MDCC this month, lack of time & I haven't finished what I was planing on making  😞

I finished my grim reaper cloak & its on its way to Liverpool with Son X-(
he's a pic but as its black it doesn't show up too well + the fact one arms tucked inside it in his sling 😐 
I'm quite pleased though as i don't normally sew & had no pattern to follow 😄
